Did you ever wonder what a love song from Satan himself would sound like? Well, look no further. Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler wrote “Nativity in Black” from the perspective of the devil falling in love.
A song about someone murdering their nagging love and burying her in the backyard is enough to give anyone the heebie jeebies, but considering who penned it makes it a little more alarming.
Oh can’t you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you....
The meaning of “Every Breath You Take” has been debated and misunderstood for decades. But it’s hard to think of the song as anything other than the ultimate stalker anthem after reading the words on paper. By using moving instrumentation and melodies, Sting and The Police created possibly the only creeper anthem played at half of all weddings.
And I’ll pull your crooked teeth
You’ll be perfect just like me
You’ll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart....
Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan doesn’t really give the object of his affection a choice in the single Ava Adore. Shedding light on a relationship where one of the parties is molding the other, Corgan sings “I’ll pull your crooked teeth. You’ll be perfect just like me” before chanting the haunting “We must never be apart” over and over again.
used to be so in control, but reality is losing its hold
Now I don’t know where to begin, just look at the state that I’m in
My mind is in total decay, I’m coming to take you away
There’s nothing more that I can do, this maniac’s in love with you
You know things are going to be rough when even the singer of a deranged song knows he’s bad news. In “This Maniac’s in Love With You,” Alice Cooper doesn’t really come off as an unrealized weirdo following someone around. Instead, he’s writing a begging and pleading letter to the listener to get out while she still can.
