Fuck! This song breaks my heart EVERY time I listen to it.
I think it's about Elizabeth, Peter's ex-girlfriend. Apparently she cheated on him and he found out and beat the hell out of the guy and went to prison for it. He does scream Elizabeth during the chorus, and I think that the "leave her alone" is a warning for all of her future boyfriends to stay away because he feels that she is still his.
Peter was not the same after they split, so that fits into the line "Did it give you pleasure to steal my soul?"
This is such a beautiful song and it is REALLY heart breaking when you think about it. :( Love you Pete
@HAlbers Peter Steele dreamt about what would happen if he was haunted in bright sunshine, so he proposed the song titled "September Sun."He began writing this song featuring melancholy lyrics about the dead, doom, and sadness, beginning the first line of lyrics with the song title. The song and the lyrics give inspiration about being depressed without being dark, which gives way to hope and reminisce, like experiencing the first sunset after sorrow or bereavement.
