In 1996 they released their first demo, a three track EP entitled Candycanes and Razorblades containing the songs Jesus Chrysler, The Perfect Woman, and Knee Deep in the Dead. All three of which were also included in their 2000 demo, Motel Murder Madness. At the time nu metal was exploding and Lollipop Lust Kill was gaining local and regional acclaim for their masterful delivery of murder rock.
In 2002 they released their only studio album, My So Called Knife on Artemis records. It featured the song Like a Disease which enjoyed a significant amount of regional radio play, and a not dismissable amount of national radio play as well. 2004 was to be their last year together. Following several line up changes, the band decided to call it quits citing a lack of cohesion following the changes. On June 2nd, 2004 Lollipop Lust Kill took the stage for one last time with all original members in their proper places.
Personal Jesus
Lollipop Lust Kill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
The song "Personal Jesus" by Lollipop Lust Kill is a cover of Depeche Mode's original song. The lyrics talk about the idea of having a personal Jesus – someone who will listen to your prayers, care for you, and be there for you when you're feeling alone and lost. The song starts with the repetition of "Your own personal Jesus" during which the listeners are introduced to the concept of the personal Jesus. The person being sung to is feeling alone and unsure, with only their flesh and bone by the telephone. In the next lines, the singer encourages the listener to reach out and touch faith; to make the singer their personal Jesus, and confess what's on their chest.
In the second verse, the singer repeats the previous lines, but this time with the promise that they will deliver and forgive. The song ends with the singer encouraging the listener to reach out and touch faith again, repeating the idea that the singer could be the listener's personal Jesus. From a religious perspective, the song likely means that the listener should have faith not in a literal personal Jesus but in themselves or their own power to overcome their troubles. Overall, the song is about finding comfort and guidance in the self and looking to others for support when needed.

This song is awesome in the original version...but a rock-metal cover sounds so good!!!
Nightmares On Review Street.
I'm never the biggest fan of remade songs, but some just hit right. Orgy's Blue Monday and Lollipop Lust Kill's Personal Jesus are fantastic examples.
