Scream Lyrics
Caught up in this madness too blind to see
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
I'll taste your blood tonight
You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Relax while you're closing your eyes to me
So warm as I'm setting you free
With your arms by your side there's no struggling
Pleasure's all mine this time
You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
We've all had a time where we've lost control
We've all had our time to grow
I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right
I'll hunt again one night
You know I make you wanna scream
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
Some live repressing their instinctive feelings
Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me
Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would
if I ravaged your body
Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged
your mind
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
Woke animal feelings in me
Took over my sense and I lost control
I'll taste your blood tonight
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
So warm as I'm setting you free
With your arms by your side there's no struggling
Pleasure's all mine this time
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
We've all had our time to grow
I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right
I'll hunt again one night
You know I make you wanna run from me baby
but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing
Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me
if I ravaged your body
Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged
Cover me, unwanted clemency
Scream till there's silence
Scream while there's life left, vanishing
Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire
perishing

awesome lyrics!
WOO CAN'T WAIIIT FOR THE C.D!
I always laugh when people call bands sellouts. Everybody sells out. That is how you make a living. Hey sandiejemkins, look around your house and look to see how much name brand stuff you own. You are probably drinking a Coke or Pepsi as you write this.
Lol nice one with the pepsi hahaha

I'm sorry to say, you are all wrong.
This song is not about rape, or vampires, or rough sex. This song is actually about the satisfaction of taking someone's life and the thrill of killing. This is actually what the band's meaning of the song is, they said themselves, so don't go thinking its about a rapist, or vampire because you're just making a fool of yourself.
@HypocrisyExistsWithin hello i have something to say about this cause technically yeah it's about the pleasure of killing but depending on who the killer is and how sadistic they are to them it feels like a type of sex to them.

sandiejenkins. They sound great and no they are not sellouts they just sound different. If you don't like them anymore quit cryin like a little girl and find a new band to like.

I really think he's comparing vampires, to raping someone. Like, it's a metaphor. :)
think about it that way people, I mean seriously? If it was just about vampires, i really think thats kind of silly. but if he just came out and said "THIS SONG'S ABOUT RAPE!!!" then it would kinda have no importance to the song, the meaning would be kinda blunt.
but thats just me :)
I think this song is a reference to the scream movie. The reason for this is just before they play this live in the LBC video they play what I believe is to be an exerpt from the movie and it makes sense.
Caught up in this madness too blind to see Woke animal feelings in me Took over my sense and I lost control I'll taste your blood tonight
The slasher man from the movie has done something that was terrible and cant see that he has done wrong He has an animal feeling to keep on hunting the prey He can no longer control the urge to kill He will murder a victim tonight
You know I make you wanna scream You know I make you wanna run from me baby but know it's too late you've wasted all your time
The woman is wanting to scream but doesnt want to She keeps running from him But she realises that she has wasted her time when its too late
Relax while you're closing your eyes to me So warm as I'm setting you free With your arms by your side there's no struggling Pleasure's all mine this time
She closes her eyes before she dies He's killing her, setting her free Hes killed her with her arms by her side and theres no struggling He gets the pleasure out of killing her
Cherishing, those feelings pleasuring Cover me, unwanted clemency Scream till there's silence Scream while there's life left, vanishing Scream from the pleasure unmask your desire perishing
The slasher is cherishing the pleasuring feeling The women/people are getting covered and their bodies have given up but they dont want to They keep screaming until he kills them They keep screaming while they have life left in them, while he kills them The people are screaming and the killer is showing the pleasure of killing them
We've all had a time where we've lost control We've all had our time to grow I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right I'll hunt again one night
He's saying that everyone has lost control during their lives That all people have had time to grow Dont quite get third line He'll hunt again
Some live repressing their instinctive feelings Protest the way we're built don't point the blame on me
The people that live are using their instincts to guide them People are protesting how were builts and theyre blamming him for doing what hes doing
Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged your body Scream, Scream, Scream the way you would if I ravaged mind
The people are screaming like they would if he was either raping them or killing them slowly I dont really get 4th line
So thats my opinion to the meaning. feel free to correct me it is always good to learn by mistakes.
@screama7x That's definitely not an excerpt from any Scream movie nor is the song about the movie.

This song is about rape. He talks about losing control and waking the animal feelings inside. The part that really gave it away to me was,
"Relax while you're closing your eyes to me So warm as I'm setting you free With your arms by your side there's no struggling Pleasure's all mine this time"
He is saying she needs to close her eyes while she can't move. The pleasure is obviously all his because he is raping her.
"We've all had a time where we've lost control We've all had our time to grow I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right I'll hunt again one night"
This may be the only part where i have confusion. I think that he doesn't want to be a rapist but he loses control and can't help but continue to do it. I get that from, "I'm hoping I'm wrong but I know I'm right, I'll hunt again one night."
Over all, best song on the CD to me. Please post if anyone agrees with me.
I would have to disagree. Try a different tack: a creature with predatory instincts like a werewolf or something. I had a friend bring that up when I first though that it had to do with rough sex. Just a though to consider.

It's definately about losing control sexually. I don't know if I'd go as far as to call it rape, though. The speaker knows he's wrong but can't help it. He also knows it will happen again.
I have a feeling this was a fantasy for most of you. The reason Shadows says that live is because it FEELS and SOUNDS that way. He was marketing with the female audience so that they'd be more into it, because it's no secret that (insert controversial statement here.) I can't blame you for thinking that it was about rape, or vampires; but, noooooo. Although, they probably have respect for the good vampires.
Am i the only one that thinks its about rough sex?
