Troll
Jarboe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

After I bed with thee
Your soul shall no longer be
Deep inside the hollow space
Only I can fill its ache
And in your new found ecstasy
Thine eyes shall search mine pleadingly
I am the light the way the dark
And when you sleep thy demonic heart
Dost take you down beneath the ridge
To where is found the silent bridge
So leap unto the shame no more
Come sleep among us chambered whores
And I will eat you




And I will eat you
And I will eat you eat you eat you

Overall Meaning

In Jarboe's song Troll, the lyrics speak of a seductive and alluring force that promises to fill the void inside an individual's soul. The song begins with a sexual proposition, with the singer expressing a desire to bed with their subject. However, there is an underlying darkness and danger hinted at within the lyrics. The promise of fulfilling the soul's ache is a tempting prospect, but it comes at a cost. The singer claims ownership over the subject's soul, and their new ecstasy is portrayed as a desperate, pleading search for the singer's approval.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become heavier and more ominous. The singer claims to be the light, the way, and the dark - a seemingly all-powerful entity that can control and consume their subject. There is a suggestion that the subject's heart is demonic, leading them down to a silent bridge where they are faced with a choice between shame and the singer's embrace. Ultimately, the song ends with a final ominous repetition of the phrase "and I will eat you, eat you, eat you."


Overall, the lyrics of Troll explore themes of temptation, control, and the lure of darkness. There is a sense of danger and powerlessness that runs throughout the song, culminating in a chilling final line that leaves the listener with a sense of unease.


Line by Line Meaning

After I bed with thee
Once we have sex


Your soul shall no longer be
You will give me your soul


Deep inside the hollow space
Inside your body


Only I can fill its ache
Only I can satisfy you


And in your new found ecstasy
And while you are experiencing pleasure


Thine eyes shall search mine pleadingly
Your eyes will beg for more


I am the light the way the dark
I am everything- good and bad


And when you sleep thy demonic heart
When you sleep, your evil nature


Dost take you down beneath the ridge
Takes you to a dark place


To where is found the silent bridge
To a place where there is no escape


So leap unto the shame no more
Stop feeling ashamed


Come sleep among us chambered whores
Join other people in sexual pleasure


And I will eat you
I will consume you


And I will eat you
I will consume you


And I will eat you eat you eat you
I will consume you repeatedly
