Walking With the Beast
Walking With the Beast: A Musical Journey Into Desire and the Deep Abyss
Lyrics
Picture if you will a crumpled suit
Describing an unkempt suit
And in that suit is stuffed a man
The man inside the suit
And in that man is one desire
The man's desire
To taste the milk of human kindness
Desire to experience human kindness
Wear a shroud of velvet blindness
Choosing ignorance or obliviousness
Quench the never-ending fire
Seeking satisfaction and fulfillment
Oh, no, I love you madly
Expressing deep love
Oh, no, I'll kiss you gladly
Willingness to kiss
Oh, my love is so enchanting, like a wishing well
Comparing love to a wishing well
And in the morning afterglow
Anticipating a bittersweet parting
Our parting will be sweet sorrow
Life's emptiness
And life is but an empty shell
Muscle of love, kiss me ever so sweetly
Desire for a tender kiss
Honey truck, hit me and rattle my bones
Suggestive imagery of physical intimacy
Walk with the beast, and your heart will complete be
Walking with the beast symbolizes completeness in love
In love, in love
Reiteration of being in love
Another fireship sails on by
Symbolic mention of a threatening ship
The skull and crossbones flying high
Pirate symbolism and pride in death
The mask of death is worn with pride
Embracing death for material gain
Flutter, flutter, gentle eyelash, do
Delicate imagery contrasting with dark intentions
By filthy lucre, I love you
Expressing love influenced by greed
And take you for my evening bride
Claiming the object of affection
Muscle of love, touch me ever so softly
Gentle request for a soft touch
Honey truck, hit me and rattle my bones
Repetition of intimate imagery
Walk with the beast, and your heart will aloft be
Completeness in love through association with the beast
In love, in love
Reiteration of being in love
Once upon a time, there was a fool,
Introducing a fool who makes a wish
And like a fool, he made a wish
Describing the fool's wish
And like all wishes, it came true
Fulfillment of the wish
To be the captain of the ship
Aspiring for leadership and exploration
To sail into the deep abyss
Voyaging into the unknown
Sing with the ever-loving crew
Unity with a loving crew
Oh, no, I love you madly
Reiteration of deep love
Oh, no, I'll kiss you gladly
Willingness to kiss
Oh, my love, the gentle rhythm of the rolling sea
Comparing love to the rhythm of the rolling sea
And in the shadows of the night
Nighttime symbolism and shadows
Those in the darkness fade from sight
Freedom in the light of love
Those in the light of love walk free
Muscle of love, squeeze me ever so sweetly
Yearning for a tender squeeze
Honey truck, hit me and rattle my bones
Repetition of suggestive imagery
Walk with the beast, and your body will lent be
Completeness in love through association with the beast
To love, to love
Final emphasis on love
To love
