Maybellene I Hofteholder Lyrics

Saturday I love you like gold
Not like the Monday you passed like a ghost
The fire killed you like a motherless child
I saw you at Sunday at Barbara hotel
Oh babe I'm so sorry
And nowhere to go

Could scream like a pig, could bark like a dog
Just to get your attention as
I'm chasing you down the hall
Oh Maybellene you've been so lonely
Got the fire burning as I'm smoking you out again
Still all the leaves will keep on falling
Until I see you dancing on table 45 again

See her dancing for the young wolves
Maybellene i hofteholder

Could you be the only one
Oh I beg you to come home
Dance forever my only one

I flicked the switch at Monday night
Oh Maybellene I'm so sorry that I didn't see it coming
And the sky are filled with prayers
Oh baby I'm so sorry I was blind

Another tale from The 10 House City, the setting of this album's story. This song is about a man, a stalker possessed by the female stripper Maybellene. She dances every Saturday night at The Bar, where he's got his own table, No. 45. He knows that she lives at the Barbara Hotel, and she never opens the door when he goes to visit her. Then one Monday night, he tries to smoke her out of her hotel room, and Maybellene was never found.

Basically, he was in love with a girl, but he was blind to the truth that she had long since died. He'd chase after the sounds of her footsteps, only realizing when she never left her room that she was long gone.

Ok so this guy falls in love with a stripper and she actually reciprocates some feelings for him, but, he fucks up and she "leaves" him and he obsesses over her because he is heartbroken.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Maybellene I Hofteholder lyrics by Volbeat

This guy is stalking a stripper, who dances every Saturday. He sits every time at his table No. 45. He learns the hotel she is staying in, and every time he knocks on the door, she never opens up. One day, the stalker sets a fire to lure her out of her room. Maybellene dies in the fire, though her corpse is never found.
