The Hungry Eyes
Two Witches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be my countess
My beautiful one
My lady in the tomb
Be my Carmilla
You got a raven hair
Lush red lips
and rounded cheeks
My teenage whore
You're a girl with the hungry eyes
You're as pale as death
My destiny
My dream and death
My desire
You got a raven hair
Lush red lips
and rounded cheeks
You got those hungry eyes
My teenage whore
You make the heat on me
like no-one else could do
Your face in the candle light
When you get out of your coffin
Please, bite me again
Please, bite me again
The lyrics to Two Witches' song "The Hungry Eyes" are unsettling and reveal a disturbing fascination with death and vampirism. The singer, who claims to be "the count" and desires a "countess," references the vampire tale of "Carmilla." This character was an 1872 novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu that recounted the story of a female vampire named Carmilla who preys on a young girl named Laura.
The singer's desire for a pale, raven-haired woman with "lush red lips" is disturbingly strong. He describes her as a "teenage whore" who has "hungry eyes," and he encourages her to "bite me again" when she emerges from her coffin. The song's lyrics are full of dark imagery and allusions to death, which may be interpreted as a commentary on society's preoccupations with death and violence.
Overall, "The Hungry Eyes" is an eerie song that delves into the darker aspects of human desire for the supernatural and the unknown.
