To The Grave
Eternal Desires Unveiled: To The Grave by Midwich Cuckoos
Lyrics
Uh Oh
Expression of surprise or concern.
I know you’re a cancer
Metaphorical reference to someone being a negative influence or destructive force.
And I want it more
Desire for the negative influence mentioned in the previous line.
I’m not the answer
Acknowledgment of not being the solution or remedy.
You’re looking for
Acknowledgment that the person is seeking something different.
I’ll be the darkness that you crave
Commitment to being a source of darkness that the person desires.
Swallow your tongue, take it to the grave
Metaphorical encouragement to keep secrets or unspoken words until death.
We can use each other
Suggestion of a mutual, possibly harmful, relationship without emotional attachment.
And not feel a thing
Emphasis on emotional numbness or detachment from the consequences of the relationship.
I’m the nightmare you want
Claiming to be the recurring source of a disturbing dream or fear.
Again and again
Indication of a repetitive and possibly destructive cycle.
You’re eyes roll back, you scream my name
Graphic depiction of intense pleasure or ecstasy.
Swallow the words you’re dying to say
Encouragement to suppress genuine feelings or thoughts.
I’ll be your witch, your queen, your slave
Willingness to take on various roles in a relationship, even ones with negative connotations.
Rip out your heart, take it to the grave
Metaphorical willingness to cause deep emotional pain.
And lights go black
Symbolic reference to a dark or negative turn of events.
and I feel so sad
Expressing sadness as a consequence of witnessing a deteriorating situation.
As I watch our world slip away
Observing the collapse of a shared reality or relationship.
So will you tell me something?
A question about the significance or value of the speaker in the eyes of the other person.
Did I mean nothing?
Expressing uncertainty or doubt about one's importance.
That I need to know.
Request for clarification or confirmation of the speaker's significance.
As the nights turn into days
Observing the passage of time with a sense of inevitability.
We watch the world go down in flames
Witnessing a world in crisis or turmoil.
Some of us will never be saved
Recognition that some individuals may not find salvation or redemption.
As I turn to ash, I’ll take it to the
Acceptance of personal demise and a commitment to secrecy even in death.
Take it to the grave
Reiteration of the commitment to keep secrets even in death.
