Stake In the Heart
Love's Illusion: A Gothic Tragedy Unveiled
Lyrics
I thought it was love
I believed it was love
You should've seen her
Describing the girl; emphasizing her appearance
A Gothic bitch with schizophrenia
Characterizing her as gothic and mentioning schizophrenia
But I guess it's all over now
Realizing that the love is over
Yeah she thought I was a vampire
She believed the narrator was a vampire
A web of poison she took me in there
She ensnared the narrator in a toxic relationship
Hypnotized with her loves, lies, deceit
Being manipulated by her lies and deceit
Stake in the heart
Mentioning a stake in the heart, symbolizing betrayal
Mistake from the start
Admitting the relationship was a mistake from the beginning
Thought it was love never ending
Initially believing in eternal love
The stakes too high the price my life
The cost of the relationship is too high, risking the narrator's life
She took an axe and she went crazy
She becomes violent with an axe
She took me back to her padded cell
Being taken back to a padded cell, a metaphor for a troubled mind
Opened the door and said welcome to hell
Welcoming the narrator to a metaphorical hell
But I guess it's only me to blame
Realizing personal responsibility for the situation
She tied me up for a night of passion
Tied up for a night of passion, perhaps expressing vulnerability
All my fears were forgotten
The intensity of the experience makes fears disappear
But the stake came down
Symbolic act of betrayal with a stake
My life blood flowed away
The narrator's life is drained away
Now I lie on the sofa bleeding
Narrator lies bleeding, possibly wounded or emotionally hurt
That Gothic bitch she starts cleaning
The girl, despite the harm, starts cleaning; a cold and detached response
As the stake came down
Reiterating the betrayal with the descending stake
She dusts away
Metaphorically cleaning away evidence and emotions
