This song it's very interesting because the title of the song "Katherine Wheel" St. Catherine of Alexandria who was tortured on a device called "Spinning Wheel" in which the person was strapped to a wheel that turned and the executioner used a hammer to break their bones-it was a slow death. You can tell from such parts of the song:

"Come on and break me a limb at a time, wrap me around your spoke so tight, there's no letting go. Spin me around to blur the light between you and I"

It kind of turns the torture into a love song, I presume he's referring to love and how it can sometimes hurt as if in you're in this torture device. This is what I love about HIM, they can turn a horrific torture device into a beautiful love song. Well done Ville Valo.

its not catholic cult. its firework.
