Cradle Of Filth - Nymphetamine (Overdose) Lyrics






Evanescent like the scent of decay
I was fading from the race
When in despair, my darkest days
Ran amok and forged her face
From the fairest of handmaidens to
A slick perverted wraith

Nymphetamine

Heaving midst narcissus
On a maledict blanket of stars
She was all three wishes
Sex, sex, sex

A lover hung on her death row
I was hooked on her disease
Highly strung like Cupid's bow
Whose arrows hungered meat
And the blinding flare of passion
In the shade of narrow streets
Where their poison never rationed
All the tips they left in me

Two tracks
Bric-a-brac
Something passed between us
Like a bad crack
Upward-lit
I'd met another kind

Of rat
In fact
With every Rome inside me
Licked and ransacked
She haunted at the corners of my mind

In black
Cataracts
Wouldn't whitewash away
Her filthy smoke stack
She burnt me like a furnace
For my future suicide

Lead to the river
Midsummer, I waved
A 'V' of black swans
On with hope to the grave
All through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain
So I swore to thy razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

Wracked with your charm
I am circled like prey
Back in the forest
Where whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillars of salt

Fold to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance her to the moon
As we did in those golden days

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your holiness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, a vampyric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better
Nymphetamine

Sunsetter
Nymphetamine (Nymphetamine)
None better
Nymphetamine

Two tracks
Bric-a-brac
Something passed between us
Like a bad crack
Upward-lit
I'd met another kind

Of rat
In fact
With every Rome inside me
Licked and ransacked
She haunted at the corners of my mind

In black
Cataracts
Wouldn't whitewash away
Her filthy smoke stack
She burnt me like a furnace
For my future suicide

    This song prolly one of the most unique in there whole catalog

  13. �.... ....

    Wrrrrraaaarrrgh!

  14. s.... ....

    It's like they blended 2 songs together...i like the short version better. I just like how it starts with that slow heavy riff. It's like saying, "get comfortable. ur in fer sum heavy shit."

    s.... ....

    Yeah, in my opinion it just feels like a really clunky transition to the short version, like they shouldn't be together.

    s.... ....

    @A Mess. I made us a time capsule :)

  15. F.... S....

    I wish I could travel back to this era!

  16. N.... A....

    Que extraño se escucha la transición de un estilo a otro :\ ha de ser por haber conocido primero Nymphetamine Fix y luego esta versión... Siempre genial claro! 🔥🤘

    7:15 kicks ass for sure

  28. D.... c....

    this is the real nymphetamine version

    D.... c....

    This version is better than the one with a girl on swing.

  29. J.... P....

    best part 0:00 => 2:40 and 7:00 to the end

    J.... P....

    The moment when girl is singing is just magnicifent and superb! She's lovely voice :D

  30. J.... S....

    I'm definitely in love with this anacrusis-style drumming. Google what anacrusis is.

    J.... S....

    No. Don't tell me what to google!

    J.... S....

    fuck off

    J.... S....

    Sounds like typical metal drumming to me...

    J.... S....

    I believe you know what your talking about. I just dont care.

    J.... S....

    @GRANKOR He's, I believe, referring to the pickup bar at the beginning of the song with just the drums, which hardly warrants calling it "anacrusis-style" when this anacrusis literally only means the two first notes in the beginning.

  31. L.... ....

    fucking great.

  32. O.... ....

    aprende a pronunciar primero brother

  33. D.... S....

    My heart is Black

  34. D.... I....

    This song you can never overdose on I can listen to it over and over again

  35. K.... S....

    Smoke crack

  36. M.... V....

    i dont like cradle of filth... but this wasn't too bad tbh

  37. A.... L....

    Still!!

  38. s.... ....

    waaayyyyy better than the shorter version. The short version doesn't exist to me.

    s.... ....

    Agreed!!! 100%

    s.... ....

    Realest talk

    s.... ....

    Really pisses me off listening to Nymphetamine live because they NEVER do the fast parts. It's always the slow crap.

    s.... ....

    I can see the anger...the full song is just great.

    s.... ....

    Wish they'd made the video for THIS one

  39. A.... L....

    In black!!

  40. A.... L....

    Pretty much best song.

    One of the first songs I heard from these guys (years ago) and since hearing their previous albums it's safe to say I'm a fan

  46. L.... C....

    4:22 SICCCCCC

  47. K.... ....

    mükemmel...

  48. C.... A....

    para mi opinion, cradle of filth este album y el cruelty son los mejores albunes en toda su carrera yo les doy un diez sobre diez a estoe xitasos que an sacado por que no son sonidos tan progresivo en un solo sonido sino que hace que la musica fluya por las venas dando pausas que hace que la piel se le erise con distintos sonidos de voces y  hasta cantos gregor.....sebe que mas bien es que es maquiavelic

    C.... A....

    +Carlos Andres Madariaga sabes como se llama la chica que canta en esta cancion??!!

    C.... A....

    +radel smor Liv Kristine Espenæs Krull

    C.... A....

    I like eating peanut butter but I ride my bicycle on the sidewalk because cars are bigger than me. Do you want a popsicle? I have peach, nanner, mater, apple, googenheimenberry and so many more... only $20

  49. A.... W....

    it's been over ten years since I heard this.... how the fuck did I forget it was soooo good?!? It's so haunting yet so powerful!!

  50. T.... A....

    no need more words, just
    "She was all three wishes,
     Sex, sex, SEX!"

    T.... A....

    One whish x 3...

  51. p.... o....

    GET WITH IT FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  52. p.... o....

    best fucking ballad from cradle of filth fuck all ya'all who don't get get this shit get with bit fools!!!!!!!!!!

  53. A.... R....

    Its about sex lovey

  54. H.... K....

    such a beautiful song but very sad at the same time

  55. J.... P....

    I guess all you have to do is scream nonsense into the microphone and make deaf retards follow you I've heard better sounds from forks knives inside a blender

    J.... P....

    You're an idiot, and I have far more musical training - classical - than you do.

    J.... P....

    and it takes a tool to voice his ignorant view when nobody gives a flying fuck what he thinks. Go back to listening to Mmmbop ya little bitch. lmao

  56. J.... P....

    This shit Fucking sucks

    J.... P....

    @James Pollard Then don't listen!!!

    J.... P....

    then why are you watching the video ?

    J.... P....

    awesome buddy

    J.... P....

    James Pollard why are you here then? Cradle of filth is awesome. There is a story behind dani filthy songs. Awesome live and he is a humble person. Love dani forever

    J.... P....

    14 years later im still listening to this. Such nostalgia. I was 12 years old listening to this. I showed my mother born in a burial gown music video. Horrible idea she thought I was going satanic.

    For the record dani can still get it l can at least say I loved his concert. For getting up there in age he is still relevant (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  57. L.... B....

    Wonderful song...

  58. M.... C....

    Amazing!!!!!

  59. S.... A....

    Best song I've heard from them.

    S.... A....

    I come from the future, and I tell you they released far better songs now! This is still a great song nonetheless.

    S.... A....

    It's a very good song, but its far from their best ones imo. Almost every song in Dusk and Her Embrace and Cruelty and the Beast is better.

    S.... A....

    You haven't heard many of their songs then. This is like saying Symphony of Destruction is the best Megadeth song or that Enter Sandman is the best song you've heard by Metallica. These are the types of statements people make when they don't know shit about the band lol.

    S.... A....

    You must have ever head the damnation a day album now that has Tegridy

  60. A.... L....

    Best track ever..

  61. J.... G....

    Scarlette, you're hot.

  62. P.... M....

    Awesome fucking tune. Sex sex sex! And green.

  63. S.... M....

    Sex, sex, sex!! 🚬

    S.... M....

    a lot of sex

    S.... M....

    you sure do like sex 

  64. K.... V....

    This song is so good....But Cradle of Filth always reminds me of this group of fat mall goth chicks in high school who always said how the would have sex to Cradle of Filth...ewww

    K.... V....

    I need the names of these girls. I too share the same fantasy ! 

    K.... V....

    Rock'n'roll always was mostly for outsiders ;)

    K.... V....

    Kosta Varvatakis lmao I've seen those before. I was the goth chick in cemeteries....not malls.

  65. r.... r....

    sex sex sex and drugs.

  66. s.... ....

    Why waste a good decorative figurine?

  67. D.... C....

    That opening riff is so damn sinister. One of my all time favorites from them.

  68. T.... L....

    I had this album until my ex stole it.

  69. x.... ....

    this is the only song I like from them......

  70. S.... ....

  71. E.... M....

    Sorry, I got hungry.

  72. d.... ....

    I was suppose to see these guys march 23rd but they canceled the damn show because of US immigration laws. I guess they couldn't enter the country because they didn't have proper documentation or some shit. I hope they can come to Ohio again some time soon.
