Laid to the river
Midsummer, I waved
A V of black swans
On with hope to the grave
And though Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain....
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above onto me?
For once upon a time
On the binds of your loneliness
I could always find the slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discoulours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine

Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampyric addiction
To Her alone in full submission
None better...
Nymphetamine

Wicked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest
Were whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillars of salt...
(keeping Sodom at at bay)

Fold to my arms
Hold their message away
And dance out to the moon
As we did in those golden days

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above onto me?
For once upon a time
On the binds of your loneliness
I could always find the slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discoulours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine

Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampyric addiction
To Her alone in full submission
None better...
Nymphetamine

    My Interpretation:I dont know if there is an official meaning of this song out there and i havent read many of the other comments on this page yet. So this is my mostly uninfluenced interpretation of this song:
    Its about a man who was previously in a relationship with a woman. It wasnt a very good relationship, and the man suffered emotional abuse at the hands of his partner. Eventually she left him, but now she wants him back in her life. The man is torn because he does love the woman greatly and part of him does want to be with her (shown in the lyrics: I'm a prayer for your loneliness) but he does not want to be hurt anymore. Faced with this dilemna, he decides to kill himself so that he wont have to live without her or have to endure more pain(illustrated in the lyrics: So I swore to the razor
    That never, enchained
    Would your dark nails of faith
    Be pushed through my veins again,
    and:
    Six feet deep is the incision.

    Song Meaning:I could totally be wrong about this... but I thought maybe I would give this a shot.

    I personally think this is about not exactly a relationship (could be) itself but more of a guy whose female companion and him have amazing sex and such a strong connection. I feel as if maybe she had wanted more of a relationship in the end but he didn't. He was just caught up in being able to be with other women and still able to have incredible addicting sex with her. Eventually she calls it off and decides to try and move on, and he wasn't too happy about it, but he later on realizes he took her for granted and he is "detoxing" from her. She still has feelings for him but she doesn't want to fall back into the same old routine so she continues to back off from him, and he is trying to win her back... when she doesn't give in he attempts suicide/comits suicide. She feels guilty, and she misses the past and she begs him to appear like a thorn for the holy ones meaning ressurection... which either if he killed himself she wants him to come back from the dead so they can continure where they left off... or if he just attempted it then she wishes he would ressurect the part of him that died. I also think that when she refers to the tomb, " who would you have soon come above onto me?" She is meaning who do you think could have been better than her? who could you have had amazing sex and a connection with other than her? and makes him seem foolish to ever think that way. also when she says "I'm a prayer for your loneliness", she is refering to the fact that he only wants her back because he's lonely and she expects he only wants sex from her and "For once upon a time On the binds of your loneliness I could always find the slot for your sacred key " She is referring how she is the only one who can trigger his sexual desires, and she is the only one who can please him and he knows that deep down. (Hint: that her pussy (slot) is fit only for his dick (key))

    There is probably more info that I maybe leaving out. But this is just my opinion on the song.

    General Comment:The woman seems to be calling to the man throughout the song, seen right at the beginning with: "I begged you appear/ Like a thorn for the holy ones." And yet, she left him: "Cold was my soul, untold was the pain/ I faced when you left me a rose in the rain." This supports the notion that she picks him up and leaves him as she pleases.

    And we see that the man has had his faith broken many times: "So I swore to the razor that never enchained / Would your dark nails of faith be pushed through my veins again." And he's fighting against her, but she calls to him like a Goddess, Liv's voice hauntingly beautiful.

    She tries to pull him back, to remind him of their times together in a way that is emotional: "Bared on your tomb I'm a prayer for your loneliness," sexual: "I could always find the right slot for your sacred key," as well as deeply spiritual: "Fall into my arms, hold their mesmeric sway/ And dance out to the moon as we did in those golden days." He speaks of her like an addiction, and that's what it is. No matter that he knows better, we still see him pulled in, enraptured by the memory: "Christening stars, I remember the way/ We were needle and spoon mislaid in burning hay."

    This woman is all that the man has, she's his whole world, the "prayer for his loneliness." And he knows she'll use him, abandon him, but he's caught up in the beauty of her, and, try as he might, he can never let go of her. She's his drug.

    My Interpretation:Remembering the happier times when she was a Christian, which she has now denied but believes in her heart that she wishes to be one, but now only the drugs can help her, even though she knows they are bad she has nothing else to turn to.

    Note the way the words are written: "Come above unto me."

    "I begged you appear like a thorn for the Holy ones" - but her prayers were not answered,, "Untold was the pain, so I swore ... that never... would your dark NAILS of faith be...".

    She has come to realize that religion is is a false institution designed to control. But she found comfort in it, and wishes she was still capable of believing the lies.

    As much as I would like this to be a song about Love, there are no lyrics in the song which refer to the Lover. It's *I* could always find a slot for your sacred key... if it were only her, then the Love would not have failed.... if she is still in Love, then HE must have done something either wrong or broke up with her.... but it's not there, it only talks about her. This song is about religion and drugs.

    General Comment:so I dont see where anyone has pointed out the line "so I swore to the razor"
    they mixed the words Anphetamine and Nymphette together, like she is his drug of choice and he "never enchained" would have her "dark nails of faith/Be pushed through my veins again" He has killed himself to shake his addiction to her beauty/sex proof is in the next line "Bared on your tomb"

    General Comment:First Of All
    Nymphetamine is not a real word (yes i checked it in the dictionary befor i rote this) the word is a compilation of Nymphomanica (a medical condition in wich you are heavely adicted to sex and will obtain it in any way possible) and amphetamin (wich is also know as speed, wich is a VERY adictive range of drugs designed to give people a boost, make then more energetic/livly) so from that and the lyrics, the word nymphetamine is used to describe his sexual feelings towards a girl, it DOESNOT say that ither of them of nympho's what it says is that to him she is like a drug, and he is addicted to her and the certain things she can do -winkwink-

    Secondly
    i read what people are saying about how he is in love with her and she left him, wich is suported by good evidence but i chalange it with this -
    "With skies fire-paved
    I begged you appear
    Like a thorn for the holy ones "
    "Bared on your tomb
    I'm a prayer for your loneliness
    And would you ever soon
    Come above onto me? "
    and there are a few more.
    this sugests that she is longing for him, not that she has "dumped" him.

    I have many ideas about what this song could be about
    my number one idea is that it describes the sex life between these two by that i meen in detail, but described using metaphores and inuendoes (SP) i base this on the references to chains perticularly in the video, tumb could meen bed, and refernces to things such as razores and imortality sugest a "hardcore" style of sex life. my other reasons of thinking this is a number of there songs are about sex, and sometimes quite violent styles of sex (such as lord abortion, perhaps the tital speeks for its self).

    my other idea is that it is about romeo and juliet (perhaps not lituraly them, but the story line), as they speek of death, and wanting each other but not having eachother.

    however these are probably quite far from its actual meening and i think the only ones that can explain are cradle of fith them self.

    General Comment:If you've ever been homeless then this is a song that speaks to you in the sense that you're going through a painful time in your life and you can easily imagine what a soul feels like: cold, without feeling or caring for much. When it comes to the part about loneliness it's a natural condition of homelessness-to be without friends or any support. Like, If you had good friends to turn to, they wouldn't let you be homeless. The imagery you get is that it's below zero, freezing weather outside and you're roaming the streets looking for a place to squat for the night. Think of the less fortunate this season. And pray for them.
