I Know Where You Sleep

I always thought this was about someone who was charmed into hopping into bed with a person only to discover the next morning that the person wasn't who she'd thought they were. Someone with a good reputation, very popular with the papers and press. She then goes to discover that this man has done it with a lot of people, but they're never believed. The only problem is that this particular girl isn't like the other meek ones and, even if the papers and the press don't believe her, she'll do something about it.

the white supremecist view is very...different. But a lot of the forum members think its about Billy Corgan. Supposedly they dated a while. "You can crawl from your cage" refers to "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage" and "by the way, your poetry sucks" refers to Billy's poetry book Blinking With Fists.

i think this song is about a person who was the biggest fan of a megastar,being a pretty girl she got backstage and welll... afterwards she gets discarded and disenchanted, finding out about his sordid secrets and hidden paranoia's behind the mask of his stardom she sets out to expose him.

its allmost a lyrical version of sara's face,but with a very jaded and vindictive sara.

I agree that this song is about a past lover, but I think it's also about someone who was famous (to some degree) at one point. Mostly because she says thing "you faded star", "lie to the papers, hide from the press" "fake it on stage", etc. Also, when she says "whore you laid, dream you stole", she is probably talking about groupies.

It's about her relationship and breakup with Billy Corgan, of Smashing Pumpkins fame. They dated briefly.

Emilie Autumn is who she is, I see no point in trying to understand the meanings of her songs. Only she would truly know what her songs mean & what they mean to her, the only meaning that can come from you is what the songs means to you. Most of you are posting opinions of what you believe the song is about, phrases such as 'this song means this to me'(with the this' replaced). So really all I'm saying is that for you to go & say no you are completely wrong to some- one else, when you don't particulary no what the song is about yourself is supid, to say the least.

This song is indeed about her relationship with Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. If one reads her book "The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls", she pretty much says it. (It's heavily implied, and she doesn't use names; however, it's fairly obvious listening to the lyrics after reading the book)

I agree with the Billy Corgan one.. Seeing as Emilie is still a relatively unknown artist [much to my despair] its not likely that the song is about paparazzi or what not.. And i dont believe Emilie is a lesbian either? Could be? But i dont think so.

The billy corgan one makes more sense, they did date at some point, and i think its about how she is warning him, you fucked with me, i know everything. Be careful. Like a sweet love/revenge type thing.

Well, its an amazing song from an amazing artist. Much love.

This song IS indeed, as a few of you have said, about Billy Corgan. She's said so herself. [citation needed- can't find it...] The "crawl from your cage" comes from his book of poetry. She knows some of the "whores... laid" because she is fond of Courtney Love, who was one of his on/off girlfriends- any Autumn fan would know that Emilie worked with Love.

(Though, being a Kurt Cobain fan, I'm not going to comment on my opinions of Love..)

Hehe. Sorry. x Off track 'ere~

by the way, the words/phrases she uses in this song are very awesome and ... descriptive? best word i can think of. "Sickening thoughts that Slither... Gluttonous guilt that buried me... Bigoted tongue... illness behind the image... tedious need..." A very powerful song.
