It's the feel of your blood
As it flows smoothly down my skin
Intoxicating my soul
Immortality, seducing me
Burning in your own hell, which now binds you to me infinitely
Spirits of angels don't weep for you enticing me
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you to drink
Frozen in time is the ice flowing in your veins
Are you insane?
At your mercy they suffered while you sat there painless
Vile and shameless
Crowned you are now for the merciless sins
It's the end
Your beauty through order is where blood flows through you
Where it begins
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you
Vanity blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you to drink
Young life striped down of all it's dignity
Sliced flesh pours out it's youthfulness
My lust will never be fully quenched
Your screams tell me that you're not prepared to die
Creature from hell why can't you see the things I see?
Mirror tells me that you were always meant for me
You are my sacrifice
Blood is the deficit
Biting the flesh, face my sick prelude
Now meet your frozen death
God did not do this
Heated iron bar I will insert inside your cunt
Mistress of cruelty, a name that will not die
You are my sacrifice
Blood is the deficit
Bathing in blood, your heart, your soul, your god
It all belongs to me
God belongs to me
It all belongs to me
Murder is my birthright the bloodline proves aristocracy
Walled in, left for dead, your actions show no hypocrisy
My birthright, is murder
Birthright, murder
Birthright, murder
As it flows smoothly down my skin
Intoxicating my soul
Immortality, seducing me
Burning in your own hell, which now binds you to me infinitely
Spirits of angels don't weep for you enticing me
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you to drink
Frozen in time is the ice flowing in your veins
Are you insane?
At your mercy they suffered while you sat there painless
Vile and shameless
Crowned you are now for the merciless sins
It's the end
Your beauty through order is where blood flows through you
Where it begins
Vanity, blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you
Vanity blood
Left for you to drink
Eternity waits for you to drink
Young life striped down of all it's dignity
Sliced flesh pours out it's youthfulness
My lust will never be fully quenched
Your screams tell me that you're not prepared to die
Creature from hell why can't you see the things I see?
Mirror tells me that you were always meant for me
You are my sacrifice
Blood is the deficit
Biting the flesh, face my sick prelude
Now meet your frozen death
God did not do this
Heated iron bar I will insert inside your cunt
Mistress of cruelty, a name that will not die
You are my sacrifice
Blood is the deficit
Bathing in blood, your heart, your soul, your god
It all belongs to me
God belongs to me
It all belongs to me
Murder is my birthright the bloodline proves aristocracy
Walled in, left for dead, your actions show no hypocrisy
My birthright, is murder
Birthright, murder
Birthright, murder

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.
Quintessential Aimee Mann.
This is about countess bathory who killed over 600 young women and girls, drained them of thier blood and then bathed in it to hopefully prolong her youth. ( evile also wrote a song about this subject- 'bathe in blood')
'Creature from hell why can't you see the things I see? Mirror tells me that you were always meant for me'- she sees herself in the mirror as old and ugly, so bathes in blood to make herself younger
'It's the feel of your blood As it flows smoothly down my skin Intoxicating my soul Immortality, seducing me' - she feels younger and believes she can be immortal by bathing in blood.
'Frozen in time is the ice flowing in your veins Are you insane? At your mercy they suffered while you sat there painless Vile and shameless' - shes almost frozen in time because she keeps getting younger due to the bathing (in her mind anyway)and she is so evil, she has cold blood, almost liek ice, so again, she is 'frozen in time'
'Sliced flesh pours out it's youthfulness' - she brutally murders these women then drains there blood
'My lust will never be fully quenched' - she feels that she must continue to do this forever so that she may stay immmortal.
well, thats what i think this is about. its also one of my favourites from the new album.
"Mirror tells me that you were always meant for me"
This song is about Bloody Mary.
this is a quote from guitar world <br /> Jeff Hanneman: "This song is about Countess [Elizabeth] Bathory [the Hungarian noble dubbed the "blood countess," considered the most prolific female serial killer in history]. I know venom already wrote a song about her["Countess Bathory" from 1982's Black Metal], but this ones better. [laughs] The only problem I had was figuring out how to write from the female perspective. to be able to write our stuff I have to get into character, whterty It's a serial killer or whatever, and imagine what they were thinkin. But i've never had to get into the mindset of a woman before.[laughs] I'll tell , it took a while to figure out."
I was going to guess it was about the grim reaper but that was before I read the lyrics
it sounds like incestuous rape
actualy i just found out its about a female serial killer. everyone was exited that its slayers first song from a specific female's point of view(reborn didnt count it was only a random witch). i couldnt find the name of the serial killer ill leave that to someone else
Yep, Countess Bathory alright. facethewaste47 has it.
No OwensTheDrummer has it completely and udderly... wrong haha. It is about Countess Elizabeth Bathory.
Many bands have done songs of Countess Bathory like Cradle of Filth dedicated a whole album to the Vampire Countess.
Nailed it facethewaste47
