Bites and Bloody Kisses
Two Witches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moans of passion leave the grave
My inebrity fills the emptyness
Left by the twilight of the day
Deepest enjoyment dragged pleasures
Black velvet on pale skin
Betraying love with a foolish lie
P> With love will I be happy
With passion will I be conscious
Will I hold the fire?
I'm slave of my own desire.
My lips are saying
A silent prayer
For giving me eternal life
A lot of bites and bloody kisses
Taking me from this world
I'm weak without my goddess
This feeling kills me deep inside
My only beg, let me taste
The covering beauty of eternal night.
"En jaksa hymyillд,
Ei ole paljon syytдkддn,
Laulut on laulettu loppuun,
On aika lдhdцn. "
With love will I be happy
With passion will I be conscious
Will I hold the fire?
I'm slave of my own desire.
The lyrics of Two Witches's song "Bites and Bloody Kisses" are full of dark and erotic imagery, depicting a passionate and obsessive love affair that is doomed to end in death. The verses describe a world of shadows and mirrors, where the singer is consumed by feelings of emptiness and despair that can only be assuaged through the consumption of blood and the exchange of kisses. The language is rich and sensual, using vivid metaphors to suggest the intense physical and emotional pleasure that the singer experiences through their macabre rituals.
The chorus of the song presents a kind of existential dilemma, with the singer asking whether love or passion will bring them happiness and whether they are capable of "holding the fire" of their own desires. This suggests a sense of conflict between the singer's idealized vision of love and the more visceral, primal urges that drive their actions. The final lines of the song express a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer acknowledges that they are powerless to resist the call of the goddess of the night and must surrender to her embrace.

The intensity of my emotions is overwhelming and unbearable
My only beg, let me taste
My only plea is to experience
The covering beauty of eternal night.
The enchanting beauty of perpetual darkness
