This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
In our diabolical rapture we live on and on
And death keeps knocking at our door
So we open the door and we die a bit more
We`re in love with with death and we die on and on
Won`t you close our eyes
We`ll be by your side
In your heavenly rapture we die on and on
And you keep waiting at our door
Yes - we open the door
Let us die a bit more
Because we`re in love with you and we die on and on
Won`t you close our eyes, eyes
We`ll be by your side
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world
Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns
In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in
I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world
Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns
In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in
I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting
And death keeps knocking at our door
So we open the door and we die a bit more
We`re in love with with death and we die on and on
Won`t you close our eyes
We`ll be by your side
In your heavenly rapture we die on and on
And you keep waiting at our door
Yes - we open the door
Let us die a bit more
Because we`re in love with you and we die on and on
Won`t you close our eyes, eyes
We`ll be by your side
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world
Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns
In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in
I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world
Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns
In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in
I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This songs great if you put it onto left speaker, half way through the song the music goes to one and valos voice goes to the other
you know i have been waiting for the day that they said that HIM cd's are gonna be easyer to get here in this shit place i like to call canada dances a jig any way ~Rock -Robert
if you didnt know linde helped to write this song...he should help some more because i am truely in love with the last verse...to me it sounds like its about being in love with someone and having to suffer (heavenly flames) and how he is waiting to be loved in return
i love that last verse too....this song rocks its so awesome...HIM's old stuff is so much darker and heavier i love it HIM RULES
Well the word Diabolikal is devil related and rapture means out of pleasure, so in our devilish pleasures we live on and and on? possibly something around that area. Valo might be comparing the two because he goes from diabolikal rapture to heavenly rapture. So which do you prefer knockin at deaths door or waiting? Its amazing how indepth this bands music is, wow!
this song is not one of my favorite but is ok. the guitar riffs are much heavier than most of him's songs but after all all the songs of lovesongs 666 are heavier.
I interpret the song, up until the last verse, to be sung by humanity to Death. The last verse is Death's response to humanity.
This is HIM's best song ever....I dont see how they can top it. the last verse has so much emotion.
I agree with rowley completely, how he says turn the right speaker off, it is so much better when u can only hear villes voice instead of the background music, and this song is amazing , him is probly the best band of all time, and f' yall haters
hotsoupwoman: that's how i always interpreted it too.
