Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now my love the end is near
I'm the one you always feared
Dancing with the Devil
The strike of midnight soon arrives
A second and you'll be my bride
The hearse is parked out in the drive
Fire and pain consumes your soul
I'm the one who makes you whole
I will drag you down
My hearts the only sound
I will tear you down
You can wear my crown
Forever
I gazed into a shallow sky
And I wept as you passed me by
The colours changing back again
Stay the way, ease the pain
And I can't leave you here alone
I've suffered so long on my own
Your sleep enchants me here tonight
As you take my vampyre bite
I will drag you down
My hearts the only sound
I will tear you down
You can wear my crown
Forever
The first paragraph of the song, "Blind Faith," by Nosferatu, depicts an intense and somewhat tragic love story between two individuals. The singer has been following his love interest for two hundred years, suggesting that longevity is a trait of the supernatural. Despite their shared love, the singer warns that the end is near. He claims to be the one that his love has always feared, which suggests a darker side of the singer's nature. The singer describes his experience as "dancing with the devil," which could be interpreted to mean that he is leading his love down a dangerous path.
The second paragraph of the song describes the singer's plans on the night before his love's impending death. The singer intends to make his love his bride at midnight before taking her on a one-way trip to hell. The hearse that is parked in the drive symbolizes the journey to the afterlife. The lyrics suggest that the love story is doomed to end tragically, with both characters destined to a life of fire and pain.
Overall, "Blind Faith" is a haunting love song that draws upon supernatural themes. The lyrics suggest that love is not always happy, and that it can be dark and dangerous.
