The Hunger
Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll take you there, lay down your life.
Forget about the other days,
The darker times the shades of grey.
Through the glass embrace I'll come to you,
Take your sleep and bring you through,
To another side of life, you see,
You are mine eternally
Higher than the stars the sky,
The hunger burns for you.
Sleep my child, you'll never die,
The hunger burns for you.
Follow me to the open doors,
Kiss and bleed, the sounds come cutting,
Just ask and you can have it all,
"With Dog and Dame" And the next to fall.
In the shadow's hold I will arrive,
Take your veil and give you life,
A kiss of death,
Your wedding dress,
Your love, my love, I now possess.
You see,
The way it's meant to be sometimes.
God knows. It's hard, but I have faith so put your faith in mine.
And the sun will shine for you.
And I will make you mine.
Higher than the stars the sky,
The hunger burns for you.
Sleep my child, you'll never die,
The hunger burns for you.
You see, The way it's got to be sometimes.
God knows. It's hard, but I have so put your faith in mine.
And the sun won't shine for you.
Somehow, you won't mind.
Higher than the stars the sky,
The hunger burns for you.
Sleep my child, you'll never die,
The hunger burns for you.
The lyrics of "The Hunger" by Nosferatu are those of a seductive and hypnotic vampire. The lyrics have two main themes: the promise of eternal love and the granting of immortality. The song begins by inviting the listener to embrace the darkness and forget about their previous life. The vampire promises to take care of them and bring them to the other side of life. The lyrics then shift to a description of the passion and lust that the vampire has for the listener. The hunger that the vampire feels for the listener is described as burning higher than the stars in the sky. The vampire implies that they will never die and that they will grant the listener eternal life as well.
The chorus of the song is particularly captivating. The vampire repeatedly tells the listener to sleep and promises that they will never die. The hunger that the vampire feels for the listener is described as burning for them. The vampire is portrayed as being in complete control. They are able to seduce and hypnotize the listener with their words.
The second verse of the song further illustrates the vampire's seductive ways. They invite the listener to "kiss and bleed" and promise to give them everything they desire. The lyrics then take a dark turn as the vampire describes taking the listener's veil and giving them life with a kiss of death. The vampire states that they now possess the listener's love.

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
