Zombina and the Skeletones: The First Kiss

Ever since I started this blog, I wanted to do something with horror themed music; I just haven't gotten around to doing it. But that all stops now. If you've never heard of Zombina, you're really missing out. They are amazing musicians, with INCREDIBLE horror music. They're one of my favorite bands, and The First Kiss is one of my favorite songs. I like this song because it's a little bit different from the rest of their music. Most of their songs are pretty obvious. You understand immediately that it's about zombies, monsters, or whatever. But this one's not quite as obvious, and the lyrics are absolutely beautiful. It is about unwillingly being forced into the world of vampires.

Zombina and the Skeletones: The First Kiss

I have a confession for you
You're not my first
I'm older than I seem
though sometimes I still move too fast
I'm smarter than I look
but I have a checkered past
I have a confession for you
You won't be my last

The first kiss cuts deeper than the rest
It's a shame, but it's just the way it is
The first kiss cuts deeper than the rest
I will never breathe again

I have a confession for you
My love passed on long ago
When the world was black and white,
and I was oh so young
Now I'm obliged to take from you
what I need to stay strong
I have a confession for you
All I love is gone

The first kiss cuts deeper than the rest
It's a shame, but it's just the way it is
The first kiss cuts deeper than the rest
I will never breathe again

In between days
Only at night
I took his love
He took my life

Somehow my dress became undone
The moon stared down in disapproval
Like a dead man's head forced into a pitch black drain
Weeping stars to illustrate a glittering release from pain
From my loveless life
My lifeless love
would gleam just like the tears that hung above our heads
in these wooden beds
I think it's getting late
Now I kneel before St. Peter's gate,
the hot breath of Hell still on my neck as I wait
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait

The first kiss cuts deeper than the rest
It's a shame, but it's just the way it is
The first kiss cuts deeper than the rest
I will never breathe again
