Le Grand Guignol
Theatres Des Vampires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Theatre of your life
No one here gets out alive
When the red curtain rises
And the macabre play begins
Waiting for the life parade
Where clowns,whores,and liers win
In This grievous masquerade
Death! Horror! Pain! Suffer! Sex! Nightmare! Hell! Madness!
Welcome to this theatre
Theatre of the Absurd
Where luxury and hunger
Are never satisfied
No one seems to be alive
Waiting for the Freaks parade
And no-one here,will survive
Lookin'for what the man as made
Untill we lose all what we won,
What have we done? We can't return.
We just destroy what we begun
What have we done?
Le Grand Guignol
Moment to seconds,Seconds to minutes,
Minutes to hours,What have we done?
Welcome to this theatre
Theatre of harlots
Flesh and soul are sold
When the curtains falls
And the macabre play begin
Waiting for the life parade
Where clowns,whores,and liers win
In This grievous masquerade
The lyrics of the song "Le Grand Guignol" by Theatres Des Vampires depict a theatre of life that is filled with horror, pain, suffering, nightmare, madness, and sex. The song takes us on a journey of a macabre play that happens when the red curtain rises. The lyrics suggest that no one gets out of this theatre alive but the clowns, whores, and liars win at the end of the life parade. The song speaks about the absurdity of human existence and how luxury and hunger can never be satisfied.
The lyrics of the song also suggest that humans are waiting for the freaks parade, which implies that they are waiting for something unusual or unnatural to happen, which adds to the overall theme of the macabre play. The lyrics of the song suggest that humans are the ones who have created this macabre play, and they are the ones who have to bear the consequences of their actions. The song ends with a sense of regret as the lyrics ask the question, "What have we done? We can't return. We just destroy what we begun, What have we done? Le Grand Guignol."
