Gabrielle Lyrics
Foul snake despair
Where once you darkened gardens
Another coils there
Where twice you sliced all hope from me
And left these present scars
An insane love now burns above
The weft of incandescent stars
Hilt your dripping fangs that range
Skywards to rend apart
I might have sang of wings unchained
But long before I locked my heart
For Gabrielle
A fit and perfect stitch of foreign parts
Whose beauty fostered poets
Whose laugh like silver belts
Thawed your bitter winter from my path
Gabrielle
Foul snake despair
Where once you peddled secrets
Another spoils there
With speech that sweetens drowning
In deep lagoons of eyes
And legs that begged apologies
For lengths that mesmerized
Spare your hissing sentiments
For her fee welts more than thine
Though no malice she weans
Just a palace of dreams
Where windswept chambers pine
For Gabrielle
Whose hair-spun onyx is run with gold
Her rouge lips smack of dark blood
Her name in whisper rolls
Forever on my tongue
Lest her memory dissolve
Gabrielle
Oh, Gabrielle
Once crucified
I would have died
A thousand more times
Just to feel her breath
On my neck as a fervent lover
To drown her sighs
In floods of tears so well refined
And blind from spying her
In the arms of others
Gabrielle
Gabrielle
Buried inside
Where she's all but mine
Save for those that dine
On her, on her perfect carcass
Gabrielle
Gabrielle
Foul snake despair
Where once you wreaked my misery
Another toils there
For long lost Gabrielle
Whose nightly spreading grin
Persists in other faces
By whom I'm slowly taken in
Where once you darkened gardens
Another coils there
Where twice you sliced all hope from me
And left these present scars
An insane love now burns above
The weft of incandescent stars
Skywards to rend apart
I might have sang of wings unchained
But long before I locked my heart
A fit and perfect stitch of foreign parts
Whose beauty fostered poets
Whose laugh like silver belts
Thawed your bitter winter from my path
Where once you peddled secrets
Another spoils there
With speech that sweetens drowning
In deep lagoons of eyes
And legs that begged apologies
For lengths that mesmerized
For her fee welts more than thine
Though no malice she weans
Just a palace of dreams
Where windswept chambers pine
Whose hair-spun onyx is run with gold
Her rouge lips smack of dark blood
Her name in whisper rolls
Forever on my tongue
Lest her memory dissolve
Oh, Gabrielle
I would have died
A thousand more times
Just to feel her breath
On my neck as a fervent lover
To drown her sighs
In floods of tears so well refined
And blind from spying her
In the arms of others
Gabrielle
Where she's all but mine
Save for those that dine
On her, on her perfect carcass
Gabrielle
Where once you wreaked my misery
Another toils there
For long lost Gabrielle
Whose nightly spreading grin
Persists in other faces
By whom I'm slowly taken in

Perhaps Gabrielle refers to a feminization of the archangel, Gabriel?
interesting analasys. maybe if we had the PROPER FUCKING LYRICS we could look further into it...
Yeah, what's "Absinthe With Faust" doing where "Gabrielle" is only supposed to be??? What's up with that people???
it seems to be a love/lust song, but dani has used the name in other songs, though none of them go through as much detail about her as this. but lust alone seems too simple a theme for dani.......
You never know what's going through Dani's head.
those lyrics are a bit fucked up, cause theres a fucking song after it. amazing, the stupid shit people can pull. oh well.
definetly a love song...apparently he was betrayed by this girl since his spying her in the arms of others, who are probably the ones dining on her carcass or w/e.
a flattering song, since my name is gabrielle. :)
the dining on her perfect carcass is Gabrielles lovers engaging in sexual activities, and its put in vulgar terms by the narator because of his jealousy and malice towards them. but there has to be some greater meaning. The name Gabrielle must have been chosen for a reason, no matter how cool a name it is.......
or i could be wrong and my search for a greater meaning will drive me insane and i'll spend the rest of my life sitting in a dark corner talking to myself......................
"Gabrielle, who is this Gabrielle... Why is Gabrielle on Dani's mind?" rocks back and forth in dark corner
well, gabrielle is a feminization of Gabriel, which (i think) shows her perfection and how much Dani cares about her. hence the name.
But more importantly she is the reason that Dani isn't depressed, despite the fact that he has lost her. Or perhaps just the reason that he doesn't commit suicide. But somehow Gabrielle has kept Dani from being dragged under by "Dark Snake Despair," which I think is either suicide or just depression. Probably suicide, since he seems depressed anyway. Actually I'm sure its suicide, because he says that now instead of the Snake Gabrielle is the cause of his misery.
One of my favorite songs, absolutely beautiful and tragic.
on a random side note I learned the word weft from this song which came up on an AP test which was cool.
