Shell is protective magic in fantasy. So they can be considered as a black armor. But why this exactly? Well, the idea came when I noticed that wherever I am, whatever I do, listening to my songs completely detaches me from this world. I'm riding the tram, plowing through the Budapest smog, and yet, with my earphones on listening to Elysia makes it completely different. Like I was just a spectator from outside, protected from everything. Then my battery dies, the armor disappears, and I'm back again in the cruel reality. That's why it's Obsidian Shell. - Henrik

My Little Monster
Obsidian Shell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanted rain
But only acid falls
To clean your face
To erase your destiny

They want you dead
But it's ain't right
The blood flows slow

In your veins
but you're still mine

Oh, thy sweet little monster of mine
Abomination but you're still close to my heart

I am on a razor edge
I ride for a fall against me
Dancing with angel of pain may kill me
Tempting levitation
With my loved tormentor
Who knows what will happen
If the game rashly coarsen...

All your attempts to captivate
Unaware faces

Wish you good luck betraying me
But you will hate this

The last line of the verse challenges the listeners to try to betray the singer's love but states that they will end up hating it.

Line by Line Meaning

I wanted rain
I desired something pure and gentle

But only acid falls
Instead, I receive something harmful and destructive

To clean your face
I wanted to wash away your imperfections

To erase your destiny
And change the path you were fated to follow

They want you dead
Others wish to harm you

But it's ain't right
But that is unfair

The blood flows slow
Your life force is ebbing away

In your veins
Within your body

but you're still mine
But you belong to me

Oh, thy sweet little monster of mine
My beloved creature, strange and frightening as you may be

Abomination but you're still close to my heart
Though reviled by others, you remain dear to me
