Venus Blue
Acid Bath Lyrics

Creeping like frost
Slowly moving and spreading, like frost on the ground.

As slow as grave moss
Moving at a very slow pace, like the growth of moss on a gravestone.

Like drowning in dry oceans of bone dust
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated, as if underwater in a vast, dusty landscape of bones.

I taste the wreckage of crumbling faces
Experiencing the aftermath of destruction and decay, including the sight and smell of decaying faces.

I know the pale thing in the darkest of places
Being familiar with and perhaps even afraid of a pale, unknown entity that exists in the darkest, most hidden parts of existence.

I remember blood from the thighs of the mother
Recalling the sight and experience of blood from the birth process of a mother.

As everything is eaten by another
Recognizing the cyclical and inevitable nature of life and death, where all things are eventually consumed by other creatures or forces.

How much more must we bleed her
Expressing concern and sorrow over the destruction of the planet and its resources.

I cut their throats while they slept I wept I peel back my skull for you Yes I do
Possibly recounting a violent, regretful act or expressing a willingness to be vulnerable and open with someone.

Slow desolation like a funeral procession
Experiencing a slow, gradual decay and decline, akin to a funeral procession.

The lovely one screams like she's caught between stations
A woman or loved one screaming in pain, perhaps emotionally or psychologically stuck or lost.

I eat the razor, a mouthful of God's flesh
Metaphorically or literally consuming something dangerous or self-destructive, as if devouring the flesh of a deity.

Sweating this blackness, I am shitting this cold death
Experiencing deep emotional or physical pain or illness that seems to emanate or manifest as blackness and cold, death-like output.

DEAD VENUS BLUE Love is rotting on the vine Crumbling in God's sunshine I am dying all the time Point me at the sky... sky
Describing a world that is dead, decaying, and devoid of love. The singer feels as if they are continually dying and seeks something higher, such as God or the heavens.
