In 2000, Darling Violetta released The Kill You EP, and in 2003, the album Parlour.
In 2005, the band composed an extended version of the Angel theme called "The Sanctuary Extended Remix", featured on the soundtrack of the series Live Fast - Die Never.
The style of the band is recognizable for the voice of singer Cami Elen (compared by some critics to that of PJ Harvey), the use of cello and violin, specially in their early compositions, and lyrics charged with sexual innuendos, dark metaphors and goth references.
Darling Violetta also wrote and produced a song for Activision for their game, "Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption", titled "I Want to Kill You". The meaning of the song has been debated since its release, but most people tend to agree the song is about a ghoul missing her vampiric master. They also wrote another song for the Masquerade Universe which was in "Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines" entitled "Smaller God".
Darling Violetta have their own website at http://www.darlingvioletta.com and are currently working on their Fourth Album along with a DVD.
Say You Love Me
Darling Violetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To room one eighteen
You open my heart with
A sapphire skeleton key
I ache to taste your breath on my skin
Say you love me
Yeah, you love me
I'm in love, yeah
Gonna love you
Gonna love you
I know what you want
And I'll give you everything
In twilight morning
While all the world sleeps
Cinnamon sins are all safe here with me
Let's sip our cognac and savor memory
I'm not finished dreaming
I'm a heroine on the run, with a gun
The echoes of our sighs fill the room
We're not dressed yet
But we're swaying to the moon!
The lyrics of Darling Violetta's song Say You Love Me are both romantic and intense. The lines ‘We walk through crimson fire to room one eighteen’ and ‘You open my heart with a sapphire skeleton key’ symbolize the lustful and passionate nature of the relationship between the two individuals. The imagery of ‘crimson fire’ represents the heat of their passion, while ‘room one eighteen’ suggests a sense of secrecy and intimacy. The ‘sapphire skeleton key’ represents the trust and vulnerability required for one person to open another's heart.
As the song progresses, the intensity of the passion between the two individuals becomes increasingly apparent. ‘I ache to taste your breath on my skin’ is a powerful metaphor for the deep longing they feel for one another. The repeated lines of ‘Say you love me’ and ‘Gonna love me now’ reflect the desire for a commitment that goes beyond just physical attraction. The singer is willing to give ‘everything’ to the person they love, alluding to the depth of their feelings.
The song then moves on to describe a moment of intimacy and sensuality between the two lovers, with the lines ‘Cinnamon sins are all safe here with me/Let's sip our cognac and savor memory.’ This moment is presented as a safe haven from the outside world, where they can indulge in their desires freely. The last few lines of the song convey a sense of defiance and liberation, with the two lovers ‘swaying to the moon’ even though they are not yet dressed. The lyric ‘I'm a heroine on the run, with a gun’ speaks to the idea of taking control of one's own life, regardless of societal norms or expectations.
