Danse Macabre

The Danse Macabre (; French pronunciation: ​[dɑ̃s ma.kabʁ]) (from the French language), also called the Dance of Death, is an artistic genre of allegory of the Late Middle Ages on the universality of death. The Danse Macabre consists of the dead, or a personification of death, summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer. The effect is both frivolous and terrifying, beseeching its audience to react emotionally. It was produced as memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain are the glories of earthly life. Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest recorded visual scheme was a now-lost mural at Holy Innocents' C… more »

Let's speed down a lost highway
On a foggy night with the headlights off in the rain
Set a course to Mulholland Drive
You always know what it takes to make me feel alive
Cut the brakes as we drive down the peaks
Not a care in the world, there's nothing that can stop me
That's why I close my eyes when I'm running all the red lights

Running all the red lights
Running all the red lights
Trying to do whatever I can to get you off of my mind
Spend my days watching life pass by from the bleachers
And spend my nights in a trance like I don't want to get better
Keep writing all your songs about devotion
But you don't know a fucking thing about real emotion
I start to languish, you've got me mesmerized
By the way the full moon hangs in the lonely sky

Do what thou wilt, you embrace all that's Thelemic
The stuff that you're chanting has got me feeling anemic
Go on, cast your spell, just need a drop of my blood
Try as I might, I know I will not survive the flood

Right now, I'm lying awake
I don't know how much more of this I can take
Right now, I'm trying to cope
But honestly I reached the end of my rope seven days ago

Last night, I climbed a roof
Of a strip mall that I spent summer nights in my youth
Last night, I closed my eyes
And for a second tried to remember what it felt like

Let's speed down a lost highway
On a foggy night with the headlights off in the rain
Set a course to Mulholland Drive
You always know what it takes to make me feel alive
Cut the brakes as we drive down the peaks
Not a care in the world, there's nothing that can stop me
That's why I close my eyes when I'm running all the red lights
