Sleeping Beauty
Wedding in Hades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If your life was so meaningless
Then why were you so afraid?
I've seen in your eyes
The reflection of fear
While you felt the blade
Deep into your flesh
As if your skin, as if your skin
A warm crimson sweat
Drowned forever in a deadly dream
Surrender of the mind
Like a slave to the grind
Or the curse of The Jade Scorpion
Justified your retribution
Whatever were your sins
I granted my blessings
Darkened your future
And turned your pride into a failure
A lethal submission
An evil jurisdiction
A devil's demonstration
An atrocity exhibition
The lyrics of "Sleeping Beauty" by Wedding in Hades paints a dark and eerie picture of a person committing an evil deed towards someone who was sleeping. The singer is questioning why the victim was so afraid if their life was meaningless. The victim's fear is reflected in their eyes, and as they felt the blade deep into their flesh, their skin seemed to perspire their own blood, like a warm crimson sweat. The victim was then drowned forever in a deadly dream, surrendering their mind like a slave to the grind, or the curse of The Jade Scorpion.
The singer justifies their retribution by stating that they granted their blessings while darkening the victim's future and turning their pride into failure. The victim's submission was lethal, and the singer's actions were an evil jurisdiction, a devil's demonstration, an atrocity exhibition. The lyrics showcase the singer's twisted thought process and their justification for committing such an heinous act. It also highlights the victim's helplessness and the trauma they went through, showing the consequences of such actions.
