The Flowers of Evil Lyrics
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
Your body’s on me
like sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your bodies on me like
sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
light
light
light
light
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
Your body’s on me
like sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your bodies on me like
sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
light

This song seems to be about him falling in love with a woman, as there are heavy references themes we've heard before:
"The day they covered us in the dirt like stars in the ground that will grow into dead flowers."
Obviously, the "us" refers to him and another person. But he's comparing them to well known figures becoming dead and idolised in the media.
"Your bodies on me like sleepless spiders. Your touch is so empty."
I find the first part to be self-explanitory. The second part seems to say that her touch doesn't quite satisfy him.
"I’ve been running from the bloodless for fear of exile for all of my sorceries that shun the light."
I'll leave this one up to someone else. I think I know what it means, but I can't explain it the way I understand it.
"I’ve been running from the bloodless for fear of exile for all of my sorceries that shun the light."
"I’ve been running from the bloodless for fear of exile for all of my sorceries that shun the light."
Okay, now I have a greater insight on the album now that I've read more interviews and read more correct lyrics.

This goes along with what he's said in Overneath the Path of Misery in:

"The Rape of Persephone was choreographed by all the wrong Greeks. The Rape of Persephone was a marketing scheme. Rape rape rape per so phony."

He's said in a couple interviews now, about how the Columbine media fire had affected him. It was but one more of the circumstances that caused confusion in his mind as to who he wanted to be. He said, in one interview, "But I guess after I made The Golden Age of Grotesque and after dealing with Columbine–where I got blamed with something that I did not do–I had to deal with the [start of a] whole era which probably made [critics] like you disenfranchised. Dissatisfied. Dis-engaged, anything with “dis” in it."
So, its about the same as it meant in Overneath the Path of Misery, he is realising he was never a victim at all, and that what he'd become to escape that was a facade of sorts that he used to run away from that.
"The day they covered us in the dirt like stars in the ground that will grow into dead flowers"
started famous, but was masked with all of this hate and controversy. it will only ead to him being even more popular
"I’ve been running from the bloodless for fear of exile for all of my sorceries that shun the light"
i try to avoid these things that want to convict me or condemn me for going against their views
I think he's sorta talking about a woman figure, as he starts saying "The day they covered us in the dirt like stars in the ground that will grow into dead flowers"
so as we know from the bible the woman came out from the dust, dirt, that in this case would grow in to death flowers, so I think his saying this woman is cold and her touch is empty, so he would run away from her because she's bloodless and he's scare for being dumped or something... maybe reading "the flowers of evil" from Baudelaire, would give as a total different lecture o not so different, in fact I'm going to read it soon ! :)
Fear to loose yourself when you contact someone (or even something) blank, "bloodless"?
