Him Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And death keeps knocking at our door
So we open the door and we die a bit more
We`re in love with with death and we die on and on
Won`t you close our eyes
We`ll be by your side
And you keep waiting at our door
Yes - we open the door
Let us die a bit more
Because we`re in love with you and we die on and on
Won`t you close our eyes, eyes
We`ll be by your side
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world
Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns
In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in
I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting
Your love is the only thing I live for in this world
Oh how I wait for the day your heart burns
In these heavenly flames I`ve already scorched in
I just want you to know I`ll always be waiting
The lyrics of HIM's song "Our Diabolical Rapture" depict a dark and twisted relationship with death. The idea of death knocking at our door is a common metaphor for mortality, but in this case, the singer is not afraid of it. They willingly open the door and "die a bit more", suggesting that they are drawn to the idea of death and perhaps even find pleasure in it. The line "we're in love with death" reinforces this idea, highlighting the twisted fascination that the singer has with mortality.
The lyrics go on to suggest that this relationship with death is mutual, with the singer addressing someone who is waiting at their door. It's unclear who this person is, but the repetition of the line "we'll be by your side" suggests that there is a level of intimacy or closeness between them. The phrase "heavenly rapture" also adds a religious element to the song, hinting at the idea of an afterlife or otherworldly existence.
Overall, "Our Diabolical Rapture" is a haunting and eerie exploration of the darker aspects of human nature. By personifying death and presenting it as a lover or companion, the song creates a sense of unease and discomfort for the listener.
