Nadia
Cancerslug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in a puddle of piss an shit and blood
there were cum stains on your face
i wondered if you had died, or perhaps were still alive
then a sound came so sweet that it almost brought me to my knees
you started crying
its fun to be there when your dying, nadia
crying out my name while you are lying there in pain
and the cum stains on your face
there is nothing here
there is nothing there
just you and death and two arms to share
The lyrics to Cancerslug's song "Nadia" are quite gruesome and disturbing in nature. The song starts with the singer finding someone, presumably Nadia, lying on the floor in a terrible condition. The imagery is vivid, with references to bodily fluids like urine, feces, and blood, and even semen on the person's face. The singer wonders if Nadia is dead or alive, and then he describes a sound that comes from her that almost brings him to his knees. It turns out that the sound is Nadia crying, and the singer seems to take some sick pleasure in being there with her as she dies.
The chorus of the song is particularly disturbing, with Nadia crying out the singer's name as she lies in pain with all the bodily fluids and stains around her. The singer seems to revel in this, relishing in the fact that in this moment, there is nothing else in the world except for Nadia, death, and his two arms to hold her.
Overall, the lyrics to "Nadia" are difficult to interpret in any kind of positive light. They seem to be glorifying a very sick and twisted relationship between the singer and Nadia, where they both derive pleasure from pain and suffering. The gruesome imagery and disturbing themes make it clear that this is not a song for everyone, and it's certainly not a song to be taken lightly.

i found you lying on the floor
I stumbled upon your body laying on the floor
in a puddle of piss an shit and blood
Your body was surrounded by bodily fluids
there were cum stains on your face
I noticed semen marks on your face
i wondered if you had died, or perhaps were still alive
I was unsure if you were dead or alive
then a sound came so sweet that it almost brought me to my knees
I heard a beautiful sound that almost overwhelmed me
you started crying
You began to weep
its fun to be there when your dying, nadia
Being present as you die is an enjoyable experience, Nadia
crying out my name while you are lying there in pain
You screamed out my name while agonizing in pain
with the piss and shit and blood
Amidst the grim surroundings of bodily fluids
and the cum stains on your face
Also the visible stains of semen on your face
there is nothing here
This place holds nothing of worth
there is nothing there
Even beyond this place, there is nothing
just you and death and two arms to share
Only you and death, sharing my embrace

This was the first Cancerslug song I heard. I think I learned it on guitar (by ear) the same day I heard it. I was shown this band by a friend of mine on YouTube, and I've been a fan ever since.

Remember this band from way back in the day. Glad to see they are still around. I ALWAYS thought they bested even the Misfits, and for me to say that it MEANS something.
