Sex
Vendetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was fast asleep
Dreaming I was rain
I fell from the clouds
To touch your frame
But you just hid your face
Beneath you hands
Delirium is soothing me
Just close your eyes,
Go to sleep
I was holding on,
Hanging by a thread
Clinging to three words you said
But words are meaningless
In your absence
This violations a victory
I'll keep you close to me
Delirium soothing me




Just close your eyes,
Go to sleep

Overall Meaning

The singer is struggling to hold on to the three words their lover said, but recognizes that words are meaningless without their actual presence. The violation in this scenario is described as a victory, implying that any interaction with their lover is better than none at all. The singer finds solace in their delirium and encourages their lover to close their eyes and go to sleep.


The dreamlike quality of the lyrics is emphasized through the use of ethereal imagery, such as falling from the clouds like rain. The sense of desperation is also conveyed through the use of words like "clinging" and "hanging by a thread."

This is such an amazing Scene. How one event leads to the next all in a perfectly planned pattern V has set out. The only domino that didn't fall is symbolic of his feelings for Evie how she's the one thing he didn't predict. So meaningful you can find so many little symbolic things in this movie that just makes everything 10 times better.

I always thought it was the cop who was the last piece to fall. When he let evy start the train at the end.

Media Dunce

I was wondering what that final domino meant.

@Sander Nielsen No he's holding a broken up chalk, V told him to mark his door with a X. His name's Creedy.

Is the man (can't remember his name) in the green house hold suicide pills ?

I love this movie. Its perfect. The story, the characters, everything. Especially Hugo Weaving. His performance was outstanding. Everything he said was like poetry. The point is, it was an outstanding movie and i would lime to see more movies like this in the future.

Sadly movies like this with similar story lines would never be made/backed/released becuase they practically hit the western worlds problems on the head and cut so close to the bone that it would be impossible to get funding based on ideological opposition

Eric Finch is awesome he found out V’s true plan but refused to stop it because of the unstoppable ability of it, but to the fact that Britain can become better.

Jordan Kipp

It worries me how this scene is becoming more and more relative in the real world...
