Honestly this is one of my favorite songs ever! I agree with a lot of the previously posted comments and interpretations. This song is obviously about a woman whose love has crazed her. I think her love has turned into an obsession because she has lost him. He hurt and her and her love for him is so strong she feels a need to hurt him with hers. "My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in" She wants to punish him and make her love him. "I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart" He is obviously gone and now she is realizing the loss of him is affecting her. she is feeling wounded and wants to feel his life and love. There are little hints to suggest she would wound him too. "Drag my teeth" "Claw your skin" "Hunt for you" She feels that if she is with him again that he will purify her and make her feel loved and that's when she can rest. "The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress. Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest" "A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright" I think she is hinting at a deception. She thought he was pure and then he revealed he was a wolf. I know some people may not agree with my interpretions but i just wanted to share |
