Knumb Skull
Dance with Specters: A Haunting Melody
Lyrics
Well I've been one for lying
The speaker confesses to being deceptive or dishonest.
With one foot stuck in the grave
The speaker feels close to death or a dire situation.
I heard a whisper from a Specter
The speaker hears a message from a ghostly figure.
She said come dance with me
The ghostly figure invites the speaker to dance.
Well if looks could kill
If the speaker's appearance could cause harm, they would already be dead.
I would have been dead
Reflecting on the potential lethal impact of their appearance.
Along time ago
The speaker suggests that their perilous situation has existed for a long time.
I felt her Stare inside my bones
The ghostly figure's intense gaze is felt deep within the speaker's bones.
And my brains rolled on the floor
Intense experience causing the speaker's mental disarray.
Now dance
The speaker instructs others to dance.
And scream
The speaker urges others to scream on their behalf.
For me
A repeated call for others to act on behalf of the speaker.
Have you ever seen a phantom dance
Questioning if the listener has witnessed a ghostly dance.
They can live inside of your mind
Phantoms can exist in the realm of the mind.
I see her disco, with one hand
Describing the ghostly figure's dance style and appearance.
One leg and six inch boots
Depicting the ghostly figure's unconventional attributes.
Now all the bodies are one the floor
Alluding to bodies on the floor, possibly lifeless.
I could swear that they were dead
The speaker questions the vitality of the fallen bodies.
I feel her fangs around my neck
Sensing a threat with the ghostly figure's fangs around the speaker's neck.
Better kiss your ass goodbye
A warning, suggesting imminent danger.
Can you
A question about being able to dance freely.
Footloose
Referencing the movie "Footloose," possibly implying a dance without restrictions.
For me
A repeated call for others to dance on behalf of the speaker.
Now dance
A renewed call for dancing.
and scream
A repeated call for others to scream on behalf of the speaker.
For me
A final call for others to act on behalf of the speaker.
