Lyrics for Behind the Crimson Door as interpreted by realitydistortd

Behind the Crimson Door Lyrics
Covered the carcass of time with flowers
To send the scent of blame to the grave
Set the darkest thoughts on fire
And watched the ashes climb
To heaven's gates

We hide behind the crimson door
While the summer is killed by the fall
Alive behind the crimson door
While the winter sings
‘Your love will be the death of me’ (death of me)
Your love will be the death of me

Death served wine for lovers
Brought from the world where devils reign
And intoxicated angels with sorrow
They witnessed in the eyes
Of their slaves

We hide behind the crimson door
While the summer is killed by the fall
Alive behind the crimson door
While the winter sings
‘Your love will be the death of me’ (death of me)
Your love will be the death of me

We hide behind the crimson door
While the summer is killed by the fall
Alive behind the crimson door
While the winter sings
‘Your love will be the death of me’ (death of me)
Your love will be the death of me

We hide behind the crimson door
While the summer is killed by the fall
Alive behind the crimson door
While the winter sings
‘Your love will be the death of me’ (death of me)
Your love will be the death of me

We hide behind the crimson door

I feel this song is about a bad relationship where one part
tries to forget or hide from all the bad stuff thats going on
just to stay in that relationship & to have some one even though
they know that persons love
is going to end up hurting them more

What is up with the crappy melodies on this album? Poor lyrics that you just have to laugh at: 'We hide behind the crimson the door, why the summer's killed by the fall'.

Anybody pay any attention to the background? Right before the song breaks into repeats of the chorus, there's this breakdown in the bg; does anyone else hear the ''Slovakia'' in the 'noise'? (I think I also hear ''Montreal, Canada'' then somewhere along ''Texas'' and then again ''Paris''.) Am I nuts?

i think "your love will be the death of me" means something different. i think he knows that loving her is only going to end up hurting him so badly that he will end up dying because of it, or maybe even for her. it jst seems to tie in more with every other him song, which is most often about the evil in love.

I think "your love will be the death of me" has more to do with, say, reversing a cold, dead heart, than with hurting him or completing his life. Since the WINTER sings "your love will be the death of me," I think that makes sense. Like love could end the winter of his soul. So...in that case, maybe he means the love of God. Whatever, anyway it's a beautiful line.

I think the "crimson door" is a physical body--meaning, flesh and blood. Mortality. Because, really, what is your body but a gateway between life and death?

Also, I think the talking in the background is Finnish, which is why we don't understand it...heh.

I agree with the "Your love will be the death of me" bieng the standout line. I will remember that for years.

I think that the song is pretty mediocre for HIM, its likeable, dont get me wrong, but i dont feel that the lyrics have as much meaning behind them as some of their other songs.

I was thinking about Bam Margera in this song. Ville talks about hiding his love behind the crimson door, and I noticed on Viva La Bam that Bam had a red door with a heartagram on it, and when Ville says "your love will be the death of me", I took it to mean Bam didn't want it out in the open and it was killing him to keep it a secret. Not that it was like a serious love affair, I know Bam's engaged but I feel like theres a connection between them.

OK CUTIEWHATTHEFUCK Ville doesn't write about that. WHo the hell has so much time on their hands that they would figure that out. This song is about a guy who went so far into drinking or something that he killed some one close to him, his wife. Now he tries to hide behind the door of blood that is burned his soul.

me and my girlfriend were talking about this song, we thought that "covered the carcass of time with flowers" meant that, firstly a carcass of time is the past, so covering the carcass of time with flowers is like covering up his bad past with goodness

It is so beautiful. I believe the song is about pussy. That is the “crimson door”. That’s why her love will be the death of him.

He had dated and fell in love with a woman and for some reason broke up. They were living together, and she left and his life was a mess. For whatever reason she came back to live with him. But they were not a couple. Just fuck buddies, even though they both really loved each other deep down. The “Crimson door” is of course the inside of a woman. They both hide behind sex and love, even though a reunion could never truly transpire.

In the first verse. Flowers are either physical or representing gifts, given by the man to the woman. This guy really wants a second chance with this woman, but she will not grant him saying “I Love You” just sex.

We hide behind the crimson door
While the summer is killed by the fall
Alive behind the crimson door
While the winter sings

Both lovers hide behind the “Crimson Door” which represents sex, insecurity and twisted love. Because, she will be the death of him. Sex goes from summer to winter and as torn down a man he is, he could never say no to the “Crimson Door”(the inside of a woman he loves). And she hides behind the Crimson Door too. She likes one lover even if he’s tainted or done something wrong to break them up in the past. She truly loves the little things he does for her.

Death served wine for lovers
Brought from the world where devils reign
And intoxicated angels with sorrow
They witnessed in the eyes
Of their slaves

Death served wine for lovers, means exactly what it says. The couple often went out to places and drank wine together. It was brought to them where devils reign. Doing this, going out socially made them stronger. And I think the angels were drunk because no matter how much they tried they could not save this relationship. And love will be the death of him, because can’t go on for ever having sex with a woman that doesn’t truly love him. The girl, although she’s not admitting it, still loves him. But death is coming, just how long they will have to wait and see.
