In this song I believe, first of all, the first person character is a sadist
"Spurring me with those tears"
Has anyone ever considered that the seasons described (winter and spring) refer to chronology surrounding the event of the song, rather than literal seasons?
The song definately has sexual connotations to me, being perhaps about a rape and murder or necrophilia, but I also thought that the first person character repents or at least realises what he is doing is wrong,
"Such a tragic sight you are
Slave under my creed" and
"Keep the beast inside
Shackled within my hide
Screaming out too late
Losing to my hate" suggests maybe the character realises what he is doing is wrong, or maybe doesn't want to do it but is overtaken by his impulses? Just ideas people.
Feel free to drop me a PM, I love to talk about music
Fantastic song, though I prefer Still Life as an album =D
