Steeped in a hard rock swing, brash punk energy, metallic bombast, and a healthy helping of death rock, these three musicians—Jimmy Calabrese [vocals, bass], Bobby Calabrese [vocals, guitar], and Davey Calabrese [drums]—established a diehard following and garnered immense critical praise outside of the traditional system, emerging as underground luminaries from their native Phoenix, AZ.
Tastemakers from Alternative Press and Guitar World to Metal Hammer, Rue Morgue, Fangoria, and Rock Sound have featured them, while the trio has shared the stage with the likes of Tiger Army, She Wants Revenge, Strung Out, Nekromantix, and more.

Death of Me
Calabrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By your black fingertips
Cold entwined and evermore
Openings and closings
Something you can't, ever find
Vivid pumpkins grin in nine
It's only imagination, baby
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
We are but one, burning fun
Falling endlessly in hell
It was our choice for all eternity
Closing our eyes, while driving along
Crashing into murder walls
Rebel angels and the victims of our youth
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do (Whoa-whoa-whoa)
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
The overall theme of these lyrics appears to be a toxic and destructive relationship that is causing the singer a great deal of pain and turmoil. The first verse suggests that the singer's voice has been silenced or muted by their partner, as their lips have been sewn shut. The partner's "black fingertips" likely represent a darkness, possibly even a malevolence or villainy, that has infected the singer's life. Despite this, the singer seems to be somewhat resigned to their fate, acknowledging that they are intertwined with their partner in a cold, unfeeling way.
The second verse continues the theme of the relationship being almost like a prison or a dangerous trap. The line "we are but one, burning fun" suggests that the couple is caught up in a dangerous game that they both know is not healthy or sustainable. The "murder walls" and "rebel angels" could be interpreted as references to the chaos and destruction that their love has caused. Finally, the repeated refrain that "you are the death of me" really drives home the sense of hopelessness and despair that the singer is experiencing. They are stuck in a situation that they know is not good for them, but they can't break free.

My sewn up lips
My ability to speak has been taken away
By your black fingertips
By your touch, I have been silenced and controlled
Cold entwined and evermore
Our relationship is entangled and unfeeling, and will continue this way indefinitely
Openings and closings
Our interactions are fleeting and unstable
Something you can't, ever find
You will never be able to fully understand or connect with me
Vivid pumpkins grin in nine
The sinister imagery of jack-o'-lanterns haunts me
It's only imagination, baby
These fears and fantasies are all in my head, but they still have a powerful hold on me
We are but one, burning fun
We are united in our self-destructive tendencies
Falling endlessly in hell
Our destructive cycle seems to have no end, and it's taking us to a dark place
It was our choice for all eternity
We have chosen to continue down this path, even though it will lead to our ruin
Closing our eyes, while driving along
We are blindly trusting and ignoring the danger all around us
Crashing into murder walls
Our recklessness is leading to our ruin and even death
Rebel angels and the victims of our youth
Our rebellion and past traumas have contributed to this destructive pattern
You are the death
You are the cause of my destruction and downfall
You are the death of me
Your influence on my life has been negative and damaging
In everything, in everything you do
Every action you take has a negative impact on me
Whoa-whoa-whoa
An interjection expressing strong emotion or emphasis

DEATH OF ME LYRICS
My sewn up lips
By your black fingertips
Cold entwined and evermore
Openings and closings
Something you can’t, ever find
Vivid pumpkins grin in nine
It’s only imagination, baby
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
We are but one, burning fun
Falling endlessly in hell
It was our choice for all eternity
Closing our eyes, while driving along
Crashing into murder walls
Rebel angels and the victims of our youth
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do (Whoa-whoa-whoa)
You are the death
You are the death of me
In everything, in everything you do

Yes, Calabrese is very talented band. I got into them back in 2006. The albums they make are the kind you don't want to skip a song, just start to finish... Well that's what I think.

Still one of their best songs. I love the House On Haunted Hill samples.
