Medusa's Coil
Highlord Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I know that lady can look so fine
A blonde angel with such a sweet smile
You feel like you can ride the sky like a super-nova
But how can you and such a sweetheart walk the same road?

[BRIDGE]
A jewel set in sterling silver
An angel with eyes that shine like amber
She's a cherokee on the war path, and you're her pray

[CHORUS]
Dark shiny boots the hunter she wears
She's a saint but how she can make you scream
A gorgeous Valentine, so swift to wreak Mayhem
A viper in your bed, such a savage emotion

Your summers have never been so wild since you've met that missy
She can enter your skin like an ancient curse from Asia
It's a canyon of lust when that temptress takes your heart
But if you want to leave her, my friend, you can't just turn the page

There's a crystal in her eyes that mekes her shine like a star
A rider on a horse of sin, meet the lords she serves





[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Highlord's "Medusas Coil" depict the allure and danger of a seductive woman. The song opens with the recognition of the woman's physical beauty, described as that of an angel with a sweet smile, enticing the singer to believe he can "ride the sky like a super-nova" with such a stunning partner. However, the central narrative of the song highlights the fundamental incompatibility between the woman and the singer, who cannot walk the same road as his "sharp-dressed" partner. The "jewel set in sterling silver" is a tempting lure, but the "Cherokee on the warpath" is the predator, and he is the prey. The woman's physical appearance contrasts sharply with her true nature as a viper, capable of causing "savage emotion" and "mayhem."


The song's main bridge describes the woman as having "eyes that shine like amber," an attribute that is undoubtedly captivating but ultimately dangerous. The chorus reinforces the idea that the woman is a hunter, wearing "dark shiny boots," and can make the singer "scream" while simultaneously portraying her as a saint. The woman possesses a sparkling exterior yet a dark and mischievous core. The singer is trapped in a dangerous but alluring relationship, represented by the "canyon of lust," unable to leave because of the crystal in her eyes that shines like a star. The woman is viewed as a "rider on a horse of sin" who serves "the lords," heightening her devious nature.
