Red Velvet Wound Lyrics
And what do I do
With the gift you present to me
The one no one else would buy?
They would not accept the filthy premise of your most terrible innocence
So let them say
How you were wild
For what you really were was tender
Yes how you screamed
All through the night
Yet silent tears streamed down through morning light
Most beautiful
My lonely sinner
With the gift you present to me
The one no one else would buy?
They would not accept the filthy premise of your most terrible innocence
So let them say
How you were wild
For what you really were was tender
Yes how you screamed
All through the night
Yet silent tears streamed down through morning light
Most beautiful
My lonely sinner

Mmmm... Sadism?
Must be pertaining to a newborn baby and birth: "They would not accept the filthy premise of your most terrible innocence" and "Yes how you screamed all through the night"
Not sure what the exact meaning is but it's definitely about a newborn child. Quite beautiful
Also notice how the song sounds like a lullaby.

Always wondered what this one was about. One of my favorite opening tracks to an album (or more accurately, a disc), ever.
I always thought this was a description of Michael Gira, from Jarboe, the way people see Swans and Michael Gira in general was a pretty negative look, considering their musical style and Michael's actions throughout his time. Probably the line that does actually give anything that would give me the thought of this interpretation is:
"So let them say How you were wild For what you really were was tender Yes how you screamed All through the night Yet silent tears streamed down through morning light"
