On an interview (http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/celebrity/entertainment/monitor/2012/12/susanne-sundfor-interview-the-silicone-veil) Susanne said The Silicone Veil was an image, a representation of the boundaries between life and death.
In Can You Feel The Thunder she sings about a matador: a man...
[Verse 1]
He was not mine
He was not mine
I saw him fall
To the white sand
In Pamplona
There was a matador
A king
He swung the muleta
Every heartbeat was a scream
[Verse 2]
Wish I was there
Wish I was there
To turn the blade
To wipe his tears
To shield his bones
And let the lightning gore my soul
But nobody covers for a matador
[Chorus]
I am merely human
My body covered in patterns
Can you feel the thunder
When I bow and arch the veil?
[Verse 3]
The stars are dull
Arching the sun
It's getting late
They've chained the moon
Now bet your coins
Tapando la cara con la muleta
The sun never rises on a matador
[Chorus]
I am merely human
My body covered in patterns
Can you feel the thunder
When I bow and arch the veil?
[Outro]
Kneel, kneel
Spoliarium
A place to heal
Kneel, kneel
To the angels in high heels
