Brandenburg Gate
Lou Reed & Metallica Lyrics

I would cut my legs and tits off
I feel terrifyingly passionate about Boris Karloff and Kinski to the point that I would mutilate my own body.

When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski
Boris Karloff and Kinski are so hauntingly captivating that they consume my thoughts.

In the dark of the moon
In the mysterious and eerie darkness of the night.

It made me dream of Nosferatu
This experience of darkness inspired me to dream of the vampire character Nosferatu.

Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau
The nightmare of being stranded on the island of Dr. Moreau, who creates grotesque animal-human hybrids in the novel of the same name.

Oh wouldn't it be lovely
Expressing a sarcastic desire for something that is actually horrifying or disturbing.

Small town girl
I am an unimportant person living in an unremarkable place.

I was thinking Peter Lorre
Peter Lorre, an actor known for portraying strange and unsettling characters, was on my mind.

When things got pretty gory as I Crossed to the Brandenburg Gate
As I approached the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of power and conflict, the atmosphere became intense and gruesome.

I was feeling snappy perhaps I'd been napping as I just ate
I was feeling energetic and alert, possibly due to a recent nap and meal.

A following heart can tear you apart on a midnight to eight shift
The emotional attachment of someone else can be devastating during a graveyard shift job.

A graveyard romance can only give one chance as the tombstones weave and breathe
A love affair between cemetery visitors must seize the opportunity due to the ever-changing and unpredictable nature of life and death.

Feeling happy when my heart got beating on a Sunday afternoon
The simple pleasure of feeling alive and healthy on a leisurely Sunday afternoon.

I dreamt of breezes going through the treeses and stars were still illumed
In my dream, the gentle wind was blowing through the trees, and the stars in the sky were still shining brightly.

I have three hearts that I keep apart trying to relate to normal feelings and the nighttime reeling and some absinthe drunk so late
I have multiple conflicting emotions and experiences, some of which are influenced by absinthe consumed late at night, and I struggle to connect them to everyday life.

The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunk onto the size of dessert plates
The inebriation of the cook caused the prostitutes to appear smaller than normal.

But me I'm happy cause I got my little nappy and some opium to set me straight
Despite the chaos and strangeness around me, I am content and at ease with my drug-induced relaxation.

I'm just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirl while my looks still hold me straight
I am a young woman, eager to experience life while I am still considered attractive.

Straight up to illusion and fantasy's fusion of reality mixed with drink
My mind is embracing the blurred line between reality and my intoxicated perceptions.

I'm just a small town girl who's gonna give life a whirl looking at the Brandenburg Gate
I, a seemingly unimportant person, am ready to take on life's challenges and experiences, symbolized by my observation of the Brandenburg Gate.

Small town giving it a whirl
I am exploring life with an open mind despite my humble origins.

Brandenburg Gate
A prominent landmark in Berlin, Germany representing history, power, and strife.

Small town girl
A person with an unremarkable past and unassuming future.
