Lyrics for Dirtywhirl as interpreted by prayingmantis84

Dirtywhirl Lyrics
Oh there is a murderess amongst us
Her love is a violent spiral
Hurling in upon us, conjured up
At the birth of the world

Durga is a dancer
Mindless questions find no answers
Slicing through the ether
Yeah she's gleaming like mother of pearl

Dirty little whirlwind
Commander, controller
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl
Dirty little whirlwind
Defender, destroyer
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
Tangled up in the flesh of a girl

Oh you could curl up beside me
The spark in your eyes belies the apocalypse inside you
Twisting the pits from the particle
Skull can't save face

So shake the shame from it
Burn me up inside you
Let me churn in your furnace of whirl
Dirty little whirlwind
Commander, controller
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
I am pinned by the heat of your swirl
Dirty little whirlwind
Defender, destroyer
I found you
Dirty little whirlwind
All caught up in the flesh of a girl

All that I ever wanted to be was destroyed at sea
Hurricane rescued me salvaged calamity
Do not delay we stood in place for it
Turn me up inside you
Up and into the heart of your world

I love the way the lyrics are sung in this song, I'm still kinda getting into these guys, they've got a different sound especially when compared to the other bands i've been exploring lately... I think this song is about finding a girl who's beautiful on the outside but has her demons and flaws on the inside, perhaps she's unstable, her love will destroy him and he knows it yet he can't seem to just let her go, he wants her love... great song

"All that I ever wanted to be was destroyed at sea"

I'm curious as to what this means.

In a live video, Tunde said the song is about being lost at sea, but, does that lyric mean that everything this person wanted was destroyed, or that the only thing he wanted was -to be- destroyed at sea.

Any thoughts?

I think being lost at sea might be a metaphor for life. I picture a guy who just expected to live his life normally and instead found himself caught up in a rather complicated relationship with a girl that has brought adventure to his life. So, while what he's experiencing might be dangerous and may eventually tear him to pieces, he feels that this hurricane of a girl has actually saved him from a boring life. While he is being sucked into something more powerful than himself and feels he has no control, he feels no shame as her hold on him grows stronger because it all surpasses his wildest dreams, and he willingly gives in to her even more.

I believe that he means all of his goals and ideals where turned on their head (dirtywhirl destroyed them) but he found a new way (through dirtywhirl) to happiness

To me, this song always seemed to be about fucking and the guy is too tangled up in how good the sex is with her to care about how awful everything else is going to be with this woman.

Hi Folks! I love this song too - the music is relentless, the lyrics are captivating, and TVOTR rocks. I agree with heatherjane on meeting a whirlwind of a girl. Whatever she is, commander, controller of men, he finds her, and seeks to be with her. The simultaneity of danger and love/lust is too powerful to ignore.

BTW, Durga is a Hindu goddess, a blindingly beautiful warrior who fights a powerful demon. This explains the first verse, and the "man eater" nature of the girl, perhaps.

I've always seen it as being pretty obviously about sex in some way. Death and/or destruction are pretty commonly used as metaphors for orgasm.

Put that together with lines like "Burn me up inside you" and it's way too obvious to be anything but intentional.

Great song about sex, more or less. Basically, incredibly beautiful but dangerous girl that he's basically addicted too.
Love the line "The spark in your eyes belies the apocalypse inside you"
