Cannibal Dolls
Land of Giants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lead us not into temptation
Tie my legs and my hands pull my fingers from my nails
Lead us not into temptation
Pour the glass in my wine invite the devils to dine
Lead us not into temptation
Lock up your children, devils in their eyes
Valley of the cannibal dolls nibble at my flesh
Lead us not into temptation
Look there beyond the door, under the mat a mouse
Lead us not into temptation
Like a cat amongst the mice, catch our fill every night
Lead us not into temptation
Lock up your children, devils in disguise
Lock up your children, devils in their eyes
Valley of the cannibal dolls nibble at my flesh
Lead us not into temptation
New hat different gun, faces never change
Lead us not into temptation
Dress in black, Paris blue, moral of the day
Lead us not into temptation,
Temptation
Temptation
The lyrics of "Cannibal Dolls" by Land Of Giants reveal a dark and twisted narrative of temptation, cannibalism, and murder. The singer is in a valley of cannibal dolls who are nibbling at their flesh. The singer pleads for guidance to avoid temptation, as they are tied up and helpless while the devils dine upon them. They then urge others to lock up their children, warning of devils in disguise with malicious intentions.
The lyrics paint a portrait of a society where people are only interested in satisfying their primal and selfish desires, regardless of the cost or harm it causes to others. The singer finds themselves as the prey in a world where the powerful and wicked hold all the cards, and morality is non-existent. Ultimately, the lyrics serve as a cautionary tale, warning listeners of the dangers of temptation and the price of giving in to one's darkest impulses.
Overall, "Cannibal Dolls" is a chilling and haunting track that leaves a profound impression on the listener. The lyrics are a reflection of the band's desire to explore the darker aspects of human nature and a commentary on the dangers of allowing oneself to be consumed by temptation.
