The Asbestos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did the knife in yout guts said
You're part of the odss now?,
That's right so sad,
Mary that's one pretty hat,
Honey this isn't that bad,
If you care about your image so.
The stains matches that dress,
The more you move, the more you bleed,
Is a matter of time.
(Chorus)
Killing is a lot like dancing,
I held your hand, you stabbed me,
Killing is a lot like dancing,
I held your hand, you stabbed my heart!
(You stabbed my heart! x4)
You've got a mail,
The content it's half the kidney
That I used to feed myself,
Gotta hold me or stop me now,
Stop me now!
You should hurry up and catch me,
'Cause the closest that you've gotten to me,
Is hear the screaming last words
Beneath my shadow!
(Pre)
The stains matches that dress,
The more you move, the more you bleed,
Is a matter of time.
(Chorus)
Killing is a lot like dancing,
I held your hand, you stabbed me, (2x)
Killing is a lot like dancing, looooot.
(Solo)
(Pre)
The stains matches that dress,
The more you move, the more you bleed,
Is a matter of time.
(Chorus)
Killing is a lot like dancing,
I held your hand, you stabbed me, (2x)
Woooooooo (3x)
You stabbed me,
You stabbed my heart!
The lyrics to The Asbestos's song "Jack and the Harlots" paint a bleak picture of a violent and destructive relationship between two people. The first lines of the song, "I hear your knees crumble to the ground, did the knife in your guts say you're part of the odds now?" suggest that one of the characters is in physical pain and possibly dying. The next lines, "Mary that's one pretty hat, honey this isn't that bad, if you care about your image so," seem to be an attempt to downplay the severity of the situation, perhaps indicating that the characters are in denial about their own behavior or the consequences of their actions.
The chorus of the song, "Killing is a lot like dancing, I held your hand, you stabbed me," repeats the idea that the characters' relationship is violent and destructive. The image of holding hands while stabbing each other creates a sense of twisted intimacy and co-dependence. The verses that follow continue in this vein, with lyrics about a stolen kidney and the suggestion that one character is pursuing the other while they flee in fear.
The overall mood of the song is one of darkness and despair, but the lyrics also hint at complex emotions and motivations that are not readily apparent. It is up to the listener to interpret the precise nature of the relationship between the characters and the reasons for their behavior.

hace algunos años encontré un cd en caja que decía "the asbestos waking the nightmares" en una venta de garage original con el manual, hasta hoy en día lo atesoro y sigue siendo una de mis bandas y albunes favoritos, una pena que su música sea tan infravalorada hoy en día :'(
