Nostalgia

:) Back again after doing a successful Wintersun PS, I'm now back with Cradle Of Filth.
Well, I can't say I'm a fan of a lot of these guys. When I was younger I sure liked 'em, but I really haven't listened to them in a while. But no one can take away their lyrical talent. No matter how much you dislike Dani, you cannot deny their lyrical talent. Seeing that they have a lot of albums, this should be a pretty hard selection. We'll start off with the song Lord Abortion. This song is off the album Midian.
Lord Abortion:
I was born with a birthmark of cinders
Debris cast from the stars and Mother
A ring of bright slaughter, I spat in the waters
Of life that ran slick from the stabwounds in Her
Dub Me Lord Abortion, the living dead
The bonesaw on the backseat
On this bitter night of giving head
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red
Lump in the throat, on my come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath
I grew up on the sluts bastard Father beat blue
Keepsake cunts cut full out easing puberty through
Aah! Nostalgia grows
Now times nine or ten
Within this vice den called a soul
Dying resurrection
I dig deep to come again
The spasm of orgasm on a roll...
I live the slow serrated rape
The bucks fizz of amyl nitrate
Victims force fed thair own face
Tear stains upon the drape
I should compare them
To a warm Summer's day
But to the letter, it is better
To lichen their names to a grave
Counting My years on an abacus strung
With labial rings and heartstrings undone
Dub Me Lord Abortion, the living dead
The bonesaw on the backseat
On this bitter night of giving head
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red
Lump in the throat, on My come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath
Horrorscopes My diorama
A twelve part (so far) psychodrama
Another chained I mean to harm Her
Inside as well as out
A perverts gasp inside the mask
I'm hard, blow My house of cards
All turn up Death, Her bleeding starts
In brute vermillion parts...
Now I slither through the hairline cracks
In sanity, best watch your back
Possessed with levering Hell's gates wide
Liberating knives to cut Humanity slack
My ambition is to slay anon
A sinner in the hands of a dirty God
Who lets Me prey, a Gilles De Rais
Of light where faith leads truth astray
Jesus, pretty graphic. Well, these are pretty self-explanatory, meaning wise, but this really isn't a legal song about abortion. They're not stating their views on the subject, they're only discovering the outcome. Though a lot of these lines are a little tough to understand, when you individually look at the word, they're really easy to dissect. For example, here are some words that might need defining:
Nostalgia: This line means to continue; to go throughout. When you input these kinds of lyrics into songs, it can extend the whole meaning. It adds meaning and edge to the whole song.
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red: Okay, this may not need actual defining, it's a rather grotesque lyric. When you read this lyric, you need to dismiss in the manner it's spoken in. Depending on the trimester that the babies being aborted, there are many different way of disposing of it. In this line, it as spoken as the baby is being murdered almost. It's just really a way of talking about its death.
Since this song is really straightforward, it really doesn't need too much interpreting. It's just a good song to bring up since it's so controversial. Anyway, the next song we'll be looking as is called:
Her Ghost In The Fog
"The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
Soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
As this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
And the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But oh, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds its certainty
As We shall see..."
She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liqoured eyes
An Arabian nightmare...
She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World
That fateful Eve when...
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An inquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon
Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog
This album is off one of their bests: Midian. If you don't know, Midian is an ancient tribe in Arabia, said to be descendants of Abraham. Though I do not know a lot about the meaning of it, a lot of the songs are based around this whole subject. It doesn't have to be the name of the song, you can almost just tell by its atmosphere or its meaning.
"taffeta Ley" Is also spoken in this song. Though when you research the meaning of each on of these words, you discover its descriptive meaning. "Taffeta" is like a smooth, silk fabric, When you define "Ley" It's defined as a grassland or a meadow. Each small definition of each line contributes to the songs meaning. That's what makes the song what it is; each descriptive line tells a story,
This is a very descriptive piece of work. Like I said in the paragraph above, the album title has a lot to do with the song's meaning. One of the lines in the song is concerning the Midian tribe “An Arabian nightmare..."
This song is including this girl, this struggling girl. What makes this song so good is its ability to form this "Ghost in the fog" You get this great image of this fog, and this girl's ghost in that fog. The song also mentions this line: "trees stank of sunset and camphor" When you put all of these lyrics together, it is almost as the forest is dying for her, or she's within the forest. “Her Ghost is in the Fog"
Now, are last song we'll be looking at is:
A Bruise Upon The Silent Moon
"And the Earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep..."
At first when I looked at this line, I was trying to define the meaning. But one I got thinking, I knew there was more of this line then it actually showed. I researched it for a little bit, and then came upon Genesis 1:2
The line stated this from what I found:
Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
So, after researching this, I found a lot of good information. It's hard to give any other specific information, since it's a confusing way of using this line, but it's very interesting that it is used in this matter.
I hoped you like this one, guys. This was a rather tough one to do, because of the lyrical challenged, but I did my best on interpreting.
