AFTER DARK
Ethereal Night Beckons: Love's Dark Embrace
Lyrics
She called
She initiated contact by calling.
She called after dark
She called during the nighttime.
Said to unlock my door
She instructed to unlock the door, suggesting a desire to enter.
She was dragging her nails
Describes a mysterious or intense presence, comparing it to the sound of dragons' nails on the floor.
Like dragons on the floor
Imagery of a powerful and possibly destructive force.
And we shared the same blanket
They shared physical closeness, but the purpose is uncertain.
Lying in bed, but what for
Questioning the meaning or significance of their shared experiences in bed.
And so I'd fall asleep in heaven
Suggests finding peace or happiness in sleep, despite challenges.
While I'm waking myself in this hell
Contrast between a heavenly sleep and a waking reality described as hellish.
And I don't know what
Uncertainty about the partner's expectations.
You want from me
The partner's unclear desires.
Steal my time
Accusation of time theft by the partner.
And leave me hopeless
Feeling abandoned or without hope due to the partner's actions.
And I felt pain
Expresses emotional pain.
I fell hard
Intense emotional fall or heartbreak.
But no one told me that
Realization that love can leave lasting emotional wounds.
Love would scar
Reflection on the enduring scars caused by love.
And I don't know what
Repetition of uncertainty about the partner's desires.
You want from me
Reiteration of the partner's unclear expectations.
She glared back and then she told me
The partner stared back and conveyed a message.
That I don't need you, I crave blood
Partner's assertion of independence and a primal desire for blood.
I came to you eat you
Suggests a predatory intention of consuming and possessing the other person.
and steal your mind
Expresses a desire to control and manipulate the partner's thoughts.
Die
The word "Die" could symbolize a drastic change or ending.
She called after dark
Repetition of the partner's call during the nighttime.
Said to unlock my door
Reiteration of the instruction to unlock the door.
