Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm ashamed to be a human being
The mirror in my soul
Reflects that I'm not whole
The faces of the revolutionary
Un-dead soldiers and mercenaries
Bear down upon me
And sing my death Unto me Unto me
I could have told a billion lies
To defeat the terror in your eyes
But every little weakness
Reveals another secret
Lying silent in your bed
Watching violence in your head
The voice in every sequence
Whispering to me
"Baby Baby Baby Baby Blue
Under the moon and the stars
As the water finds you
Baby blue the spectre in your mind
Is forever ever ever entwined"
Hold your breath and count to ten
While you make escape attempts
To break a way out from your
Sub-aquatic deathless cell
Four Five Six Another place
Where you'll rejoin the human race
I hope you find
A paradise in your home of ice
Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven
Kiss your face again and again
Wake up Just wake up
I'm dreaming I'm screaming with you
In another space in another time
The night reflects across the ice
With every little weakness
Drowning in forgiveness
The faces of the revolutionary
Un-dead soldiers and mercenaries
Bear down as witness
As I whisper to you
"Baby Baby Baby Baby Blue
They'll never, never, ever find you"
Oh but Baby Blue the phantom in your heart
Is serpentine in the waves and the water
And sunshine
While your body melts within my arms...
The lyrics of Nosferatu's song Entwined are a haunting and introspective expression of the singer's guilt and shame. The first verse speaks to the singer's remorse for their actions as a human being and the feeling that they are not a complete person. The imagery of the "revolutionary un-dead soldiers and mercenaries" bearing down on them suggests a sense of impending doom or judgment for their sins.
The second verse is a reflection on the power of vulnerability and how it can reveal deeper secrets and hidden pain. The voice whispering "Baby Baby Baby Baby Blue" is a haunting reminder of the singer's past and the specter that haunts them. The repetition of "Baby Blue" reinforces the sense of entanglement and how the phantom in their heart is forever intertwined with their psyche.
The final verse is a surreal and dream-like scene where the singer is counting down while trying to escape their "sub-aquatic deathless cell." In the end, they are confronted with the faces of the revolutionary un-dead soldiers and mercenaries as they whisper again to Baby Blue. The final line, "while your body melts within my arms," is a stark reminder of the seductive and dangerous nature of the phantom in their heart.

Mother, Father I have sinned and
I'm ashamed to be a human being
I admit to my guilt and feel regret for being a part of humanity

Reflects that I'm not whole
I am incomplete and damaged, and this reflects in the way I see myself
The faces of the revolutionary
Un-dead soldiers and mercenaries
Bear down upon me
And sing my death Unto me Unto me
I am haunted by the faces of those who rebelled against death and they are causing me to feel overwhelmed and powerless
I could have told a billion lies
To defeat the terror in your eyes
But every little weakness
Reveals another secret
I had the option to deceive you, but my vulnerabilities constantly reveal new truths
Lying silent in your bed
Watching violence in your head
The voice in every sequence
Whispering to me
Observing you suffer in your sleep, I am tormented by the voices in my own head

Under the moon and the stars
As the water finds you
Baby blue the spectre in your mind
Is forever ever ever entwined"

With every little weakness
Drowning in forgiveness
There is an alternate reality where the night is serene and every flaw is forgivable
The faces of the revolutionary
Un-dead soldiers and mercenaries
Bear down as witness
As I whisper to you
My demons are still present and the spirits of those who fought against death serve as a reminder of my weaknesses

They'll never, never, ever find you"
Oh but Baby Blue the phantom in your heart
Is serpentine in the waves and the water
And sunshine
While your body melts within my arms...
You may believe you are free from your ghost, but it remains within you like a snake that twists and turns like the waves and sunshine. Meanwhile, I am physically with you as your body fades away

Gravity
on Bombers
I see you are beautiful across the lives
and through your skin
I spy you are beautiful inside
Maybe you’re not meant to be
Sleeping alone dreaming so prettily
Waiting always waiting for tonight
To open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like starts to follow
No one knows, no one sees
As I cut your throat
Let the river flow down so... slow
Today the sun sank quietly
Across your back and through your eyes
Drowning in your dilated stare
England’s dreaming land conceals
Our sliding bodies as i steal
Every honeysuckle scented breath
You open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like stars to follow
No one knows and no one sees
As I cut your throat let the river flow
Down slow
All the time
Through your eyes
Breaking every life
Stopping every moment in time
But never saving your soul
Through your eyes
Breaking every moment
Stopping every movement inside
And never saving your soul
I see you are beautiful across the lives
and through your skin
I spy you are beautiful inside
With every hungry bite I take
Your frozen body shake shake shakes
Gasping for breath
Gasping for breath
So deliciously pale in your moment of death
You open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like stars to follow
No one knows and
No one sees
As I cut your throat
Let the river flow...flow....flow...flow...flow...flow...flow...flow
