It's a song of frustration at the darkness in the world, at the way humans judge each other, and the cycles of victims and perpetrators. Final version of lyrics: Monday, January 1st, 1990 Black & Blue (This Side of Paradise, 2001) take a look at captain deadend take a look at his shivering hands take a look at his new girlfriend but he's having fun that you don't understand we only see surfaces when we look aroundclose your eyes and watch his shadow turn. run your hands through your hair and feel your eyes begin to burn. how can you love the source of all of your pain when rape eyes are telling you that he's dreaming again love! bleed! nails! cross! god! tree! man! lost! now i'm thinking about adam and eve. paradise is on ice, darkness, light, can't sleep at night and you're waiting for a chance to please. to please? i thought you said you had the key. 1990, London.
