Lycanthropy
G.B.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And spreads to those he slays.
Uncontrolled metamorphosis,
Undetectable by day.
But when the moon is waxing,
And all the world's asleep.
Through woods and fields,
The werewolf he will creep.
Even a man who is pure heart,
And says his prayers at night ..
Can become a werewolf when the wolfsbane blooms,
And the Autumn moon is bright.
He instinctively seeks to kill,
The thing he loves the best.
He'll bare his teeth, growl and snarl,
And wish upon you death.
His suffused eyes will glare in hate,
Silver-grey hair will shine.
He'll grip you in his muscular arms,
And on your your flesh will dine.
Cures are rare for this schizophrenic,
A Marfisa flower is a start.
Silver topped cane, a crucifix,
A silver bullet through the heart.
The song "Lycanthropy" by G.B.H. explores the theme of werewolves and the uncontrollable transformation that leads to violence and death. The opening lines of the song, "Lycanthropy is in his blood, and spreads to those he slays," introduce the idea that the condition is genetic and that those who are afflicted with it are dangerous to others. The lyrics go on to describe the werewolf's metamorphosis, which is undetectable during the day but occurs when the moon is waxing. The werewolf is portrayed as a predator that creeps through woods and fields seeking to kill.
The song also suggests that anyone can become a werewolf if they are exposed to wolfsbane and the autumn moon is bright. This adds to the tension of the song as it suggests that the affliction is not limited to a select group of individuals but can happen to anyone. The werewolf's uncontrollable instincts to kill are also explored in the lyrics, which state that the creature will bare its teeth, growl, and snarl at its victims. The werewolf is described as being in a state of hate, with suffused eyes and silver-grey hair that shines.
The lyrics also suggest that there are few cures for lycanthropy, with a Marfisa flower and a silver-topped cane being mentioned. The final suggestion for curing the condition is a silver bullet through the heart, a common trope in werewolf mythology. Overall, the song "Lycanthropy" by G.B.H. explores the dangers of a condition that turns humans into violent predators and suggests that there may be no cure for those who are afflicted.
