this song is from a concept demo (who ever heard of such a thing?) called The Deformed. it's goes with the song "Last Words...".
cold velvet blue is industrial. at times purely electronic, at others has that hint of metal to it.
Story behind the song
i wanted to complete a demo that told a story i.e. a concept demo. new idea but hey it's america. this track is about the end of the psychopath's killing spree (nice huh?) and how he has to pay for his crimes....and his plea for clemency.
Lyrics
i'm on the other side now
fighting for words to explain it all
how do i tell you what i've done
how do i explain what i've done
i can't justify my actions to you
i can't explain what i went through
the years of torment
and the years of abuse
don't mean a thing to you
no, no, no, no
how do i tell you what i am
how do i tell you what i did
how do i tell you what i wanted to be
when all you see are my mistakes
how do i tell you what i love
how do i tell you who i loved
how do i explain the phantoms in my mind
how do i show you the darkness
no, no, no, no
when i'm locked in this cage for years
what speech do you really give me
in these last moments before execution
how do i tell you that it was all a mistake?
how do i tell you that it was all a mistake?
how do i tell you that it was all a mistake?
HOW DO I TELL YOU I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO ANY OF IT
