The song is a spoken word which describes a scene in which Needles is killing her husband. The visuals depicted by the lyrics are inspired by Needles' fascination with true crime.
It was based off of the “ghost tracks” that used to be hidden in in the middle of official tracks on vinyls and cassett...
[Spoken]
When I look into your moon shape eyes
When I look into your pouty lips
When I touch the nape of your neck
When my fingers dance upon your inner thigh
I can only think about all the beautiful ways there are to destroy you
A hundred ways to kill you, and only two ways to breathe
Why is everything important in your neck?
Mmh, the spots are so soft
Eyes like jelly, how easy the knife goes in
I have to admit, the first cut is the hardest
But after that, I really can no longer claim my soul as my own
It’s as if I’ve done this before...
I wonder what your skin would look like on me
I love your eyes, so wide with fear
They’re even wider with no face
Smiling is so easy
Yet removing it proves to be difficult
Your insides are rainbow
Baby, I should have eaten you while your bones were soft
You must’ve been a beautiful baby...
(laughter)
I don’t mind the mess
Gurgling is just the sound of breathing with texture
They never get the blood right in the movies
