I thought it said Stop instead of Starve, but I don't have the booklet, so I can't contest. Plus, starve does seem to go with the motif of eating(Devour). And, I thought he said something about "Open Them" instead of Open Film, in regards to his eyes being closed. I couldn't make out the starting part of that line, though I admit that I was more smitten with the backing track than anything else.
And, mosama is correct. This is definitely a track about being in love, in a very Manson-esque sort of way. It relates eating and/or devouring the one you love with finally having all of them to yourself. Though everyone tends to rag on the man about his lyrics, there's no dying how powerful of a feeling it is that he put in a very easily relateable state. Anyone whom is or has ever been completely in love can draw connections with that. Especially if the relationship involves a lot of pain and frustration. And, even moreso if the person continues to move forward with trying to make things work and completely win over the heart of the other.
I would say that this song is more about Evan than it would be about Dita. I can feel a connection with this track and a situation that I'm currently involved in, myself. Even when you know that you shouldn't try, you keep going. You keep allowing yourself to be hurt through all the pain, suffering, frustration, annoyance and bothering that is in store for you . . . all to know that YOU have won. That you have devoured the one you love and now they will always be yours.
With the old saying of sleep being the cousin of death, it's not hard to figure out what he means by "I Can't Sleep Until I Devour You." Simply stating that he can't rest, he can't stop and he can't die until he has all of her.
Definitely one of my favorite songs on this new LP. And, a phenomenal way to open an album. It was a pleasant shock.
