The Culling
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics
Dead eyes, I only call you when you′re in my dreams
Died too young, the culling then, it was obscene
I am depleted by love
I am depleted by love
I'll never tell the secrets of my family
Bled out, a cult of anonymity
The kettle is wheeling, my love
Riding on the back of a hell they caused
One eye on the room
My tongue on your pulse
My finger in your wound
Sweet dead eyes, I long to hear you again
Sweet dead eyes, I long to see your face
Sweet dead eyes, I long for that illustrious hiss
Sweet dead eyes, I know you feel it
No turning back, only God knows what we′re headed for
The flowers bloom, the sun rises
Flux, hiss, welt, groan
Flux, hiss, welt, groan
Flux, hiss, welt, groan
Flux, hiss, welt, groan
Flux, hiss, welt, groan
Flux, hiss, welt, groan

Chelsea Joy Wolfe was born in Roseville, California, and grew up in Sacramento. She is of Norwegian and German descent. Her father was in a country band and owned a home studio. By the age of 7, she had written her first poem and by the age of 9, she had written and recorded songs which she later described as "basically Casio-based gothy R&B songs."
Inspired by the dark state of the world and the strange connection between all things, she creates a unique musical blend of goth-folk, experimental rock and spiritual realm funeral songs. With influences ranging from the great minds of Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch to Soviet and end-times literature, her songs conjure visions of other dimensions, claustrophobic echo-rooms and parking garage cathedrals.
Wolfe has recorded seven full length studio albums: The Grime and the Glow, which was released on December 28th, 2010 on limited vinyl through Brooklyn’s Pendu Sound Recordings; Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “Apokalypsis”), which was released as a 12” LP on August 23rd, 2011; Unknown Rooms: a Collection of Acoustic Songs, which was released on October, 2012 through Sargent House; Pain Is Beauty, out September 3rd, 2013; Abyss, which was released August 7th, 2015; and Hiss Spun, out September 22nd, 2017; Birth of Violence[7i] which was released on September 13th, 2019.

The Culling:
Dead eyes
I only call you when you're in my dreams
Died too young
The culling then, it was obscene
I am depleted by love
I am depleted by love
I'll never tell the secrets of my family
Bled out
A cult of anonymity
The kettle is wheeling, my love
Riding on the back of a hell they caused
One ear to the ground
One eye on the room
My tongue on your pulse
My finger in your wound
Sweet dead eyes, I long to hear you again
Sweet dead eyes, I long to see your face
Sweet dead eyes, I long for that illustrious hiss
Sweet dead eyes, I know you feel it
No turning back
"Only god knows what we're headed for"
The flowers bloom
The sun rises
Flux

Chelsea is brilliant. Her songs feel like a soundtrack, the lyrics are perfect, she's both dark and beautiful and the video is like watching a disturbing memory... what else can you ask for?

Absolutely. She is masterful at blending genres & her voice is so unique in that it's sweet & delicate but also dark & menacing at the same time. She has excellent control over her voice as well, and I love how she can switch from light to dark in an instant (Iron Moon" for example.) Truly one of the best artists out right now.
