My Buried Child Lyrics

My frozen empty violent mind caressed the hidden hair
That shines with liquid lust I left behind
Your body stained with ruined eyes
I cut the skin
Concealed the crimes
With liquid hate I left inside
And loneliness is buried here
In rotting holes beneath your fear
Your agony
Your twisted struggle
Two bodies sink in meat-blood strangled
The smell of death
Your tortured gash
Enfold me in your mother's arms
Now hold me in your mother's arms

Cover art for My Buried Child lyrics by Swans

One of my favorite tracks off of The Great Annihilator.

I'm not sure as to what the lyrics mean, but they make me think of abortion or a miscarriage.

@Glome Sounds like an abortion to me also. Maybe after a rape?

Talking about a "violent mind", references to "liquid lust" and "liquid hate" could be the semen. Mentions loneliness buried beneath fear, talks about "concealing the crime". Getting an abortion after a rape could be seen as an attempt to conceal what happened.
