White Skull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We spent the night
You can't refuse me
I can't survive
The pain of living twice at same time
Destroyed my senses, undertook my mind
Heaven in my dreams
Hell in real life
You can't imagine how do I feel
That's the way you're gone ahead
Don't you remember
We spent the night
You can't refuse me
I can't survive
I've heard your silence
I've heard your no
I feel just like slidin' in the black hole
Heaven in my dreams
Hell in real life
The pain of knowing you can't be mine
You can't imagine how do I feel
That's the way you're gone ahead
Heaven knows... Just another city'n'place
Heaven knows the pain.
The lyrics to White Skull's song "White Lady" depicts the emotional pain and heartache of a protagonist who is longing for a past lover. The song is sung in first person, with the singer reminiscing about the time they spent together, and how they cannot move on, despite their lover's absence. The line "Don't you remember, We spent the night, You can't refuse me, I can't survive" emphasizes the desperation and desire of the singer to be recognized and loved by their former partner.
The line "The pain of living twice at the same time, Destroyed my senses, undertook my mind" furthers this notion of mental and emotional distress. The singer's mind is consumed with thoughts of their former lover, leading to a distorted reality between their dreams and their waking life. The lines "Heaven in my dreams, Hell in real life" speak to this, highlighting the disconnect between the idealized relationship in their dreams, versus the harsh reality of being without their lover.
The chorus of the song is repeated twice, emphasizing the intensity of the singer's emotions. Lines such as "I feel just like slidin' in the black hole" and "Heaven knows the pain" continue to paint a picture of despair and hopelessness.
Overall, "White Lady" is a powerful song about unrequited love and the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship.
