Cradle Of Filth - 2004 - Nymphetamine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked into those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd come there for
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighborhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with nymphetamine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
The song 'Devil Women' by Cradle of Filth, talks about the dangers of getting involved with mysterious women. The song starts off with a narrator who has been having bad luck since a black cat appeared at his doorstep. He then seeks out the help of a woman who practices magic or some other similar mystical power. The woman has a crystal ball that shows the future and the past, and a cat with evil eyes. The singer eventually realizes that he has fallen under the woman's spell and that she is, in fact, a devil woman with only evil on her mind.
The song then describes how the devil woman proceeds to get hold of the singer, by offering him a potion and by seducing him with her charms. He finds himself on the floor, looking into the woman's big green eyes, wondering what he had come there for. The song ends with a warning to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, to beware of women with nymphetamine ways and to get out of there fast if they feel danger.
In essence, this song is a warning to people about the dangers that lie in getting involved with others who may not have good intentions. The singer's experience with the devil woman emphasizes the importance of being careful of people who say they have mystical powers and prompt you to take action that you may later regret.

I've had nothing but bad luck
I've had a lot of misfortune in my life
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
Since the day I had a strange encounter with a cat at my doorstep
So I came into you sweet lady
So I sought refuge and comfort in your presence, dear woman
Answering your mystical call
Responding to your enticing, yet obscure summon
Crystal ball on the table
There was a crystal ball conspicuously displayed on the table
Showing the future,the past
The crystal ball appeared to reveal the future and past events
Same cat with them evil eyes
The same cat with unsettling eyes appeared again
And I knew it was a spell she cast
I realized that it was part of a supernatural enchantment
She's just a devil woman
She's no ordinary woman, but rather someone deeply associated with evil
With evil on her mind
She is determined to do evil things
Beware the devil woman
Be wary of this dangerous figure
She's gonna get you
She will harm you in some way
From behind
Unexpectedly and from an unknown direction
Give me the ring on your finger
Please give me the valuable item you are wearing on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
Please allow me to examine the wrinkles on your skin
I can see me a tall dark stranger
I can envision a mysterious, ominous figure
Giving you what you hadn't planned
Providing you with something unexpected or unwanted
I drank the potion she offered me
I consumed the concoction that was given to me by this woman
I found myself on the floor
I lost consciousness and fell to the ground
Then I looked into those big green eyes
Then I stared into her large, green, sinister eyes
And I wondered what I'd come there for
I questioned why I was even there at all
If you're out on a moonlit night
If you ever find yourself outside on a night with a full moon
Be careful of them neighborhood strays
Be cautious of the vagabonds and wild animals that roam the area
Of a lady with long black hair
Particularly of a lady with dark, flowing hair
Tryin' to win you with nymphetamine ways
Attempting to captivate you with intense charm and seduction
You'd better get out of there fast
It is imperative that you flee the scene as quickly as possible
