Lipstick Tourniquets: Unveiling the Dark Symphony of Hidden Desires
Lyrics
Something soulless
Someone or something without a soul has been exchanged or given to another.
Sold you
The soulless entity harbors resentment or animosity.
It hates you
Expressing the intensity of hatred from the soulless entity.
They wear the sheepskins,
People disguise their true nature, but the soulless one is the real threat.
But you are the monster
The person addressed is depicted as a monstrous entity.
Breathing men would kill
Even decent individuals would be willing to harm the monstrous figure.
Lucy don't go
A plea to someone named Lucy not to leave.
Hold me
An appeal for emotional support.
Haunt me
A desire for a haunting presence, possibly indicating a need for intensity in the relationship.
Tinctures taunt you,
Mentions of teasing or provoking with substances, emphasizing the monstrous nature of the person.
Cause you are the monster
Reiteration of the person's monstrous identity.
Breathing men would kill
Reiteration that even normal individuals would consider harming this monstrous figure.
Blame me for this
Assuming responsibility or blame for a situation.
As you sit in your counting room
Imagery of the person sitting alone, possibly in regret or reflection.
Coughing up blood
A graphic description of physical distress, possibly as a consequence of actions.
Just to spit in my mouth
A spiteful act of defiance or disrespect.
Soon you'll be gone
A suggestion of impending departure or demise.
And the rain will wash you away
An image of cleansing or renewal through rain after the person is gone.
Tucked in and gagged
Imagery of being restrained and silenced.
Now say your prayers
An instruction or wish for the person to pray.
Lipstick tourniquets work
Reference to using unconventional means, like lipstick tourniquets, to cope with the effects of poison.
When the poison begins to take hold
Acknowledging the inevitable impact of a harmful influence.
And for what reward?
Raising the question of what reward or satisfaction comes from enduring poison.
So the simple can suck on the rinds.
A cynical view of simplicity, suggesting that it is satisfied with superficial or discarded aspects.
