Passion and the Opera Lyrics
Dignity put to dust
A virginal sight
Their apple to bite
The rain of lies
A sight so cursed:
Breasts which never nursed
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour, my tearless weep
Their saticfaction, my infinite sleep
I'll be there for you soon
First wish for this night:
Let me be your delight
Soul to the Devil's kin
Your God is me
In all that you see
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour, my tearless weep
Their saticfaction, my infinite sleep
well, obviously this song is about sex... "An Aphrodite for mortal souls...Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles" aphrodite: love goddess... mortal souls: people ..the godess is chasing her (mortal soul) wherever she goes, she is seeking 4 her, to always torture her with passionate erotic and painful love... "Their erotic hour, my tearless weep...their satisfaction my infinite sleep" i guess it s about jealousy... we can see that Tarja separates THEIR and ME (my) their erotic hour, they must be happy together, while she is thinking about this and crying without tears, cause she lost all her tears, there isn't tears anymore in her eyes,, and their satisfaction my infinite sleep. infinite sleep means DEATH... while they are satisfing each other, she is dying because the guy is not with her,,,
i'll betcha a dime the scales she sings at the end symbolize orgasms :)
"Their erotic hour, my tearless weep..." something about "unable to" ...
I must say this song seems horribly addictive... I was reading through the lyrics in my CD case and saw this song and thought "What the heck!?" I put it on out of curiousity and found the opening to the song extremely addictive to listen to and the flow of the lyrics seems very unusual to me... I absolutely love the sound of the chorus as well.
This is a really odd sounding song, but I do enjoy it... The tune just captivates me... maybe I'm easily pleased... :pi love this song. its one of my nightwish faves! i love it when tarja sings her opera bits towards the end. and the lyrics are quite sedductive. brilliant.
Like most Nightwish songs, it's about sex.
i guess, sum1's horny :) drink from my thighs the rain of lies -or my fav.- first wish for this night let me be your delight
I love the guitars at the beginning. It SCREAMS battle theme. XD
Of course, how can one thing it ISN'T about sex? >_> XD;; But when I'm writing, I like to put this song on when there's a battle scene. >D This one and Gethsemane. ;D
i love the way you think spacepirate! i love it when hot singers have orgasms and put them on a CD! brilliant song.
This has gotta be my fav Nightwish song of all time. I LOVE IT! Tarja's vocals are AMAZING!
