Voltaire - Ex Lover's Lover Lyrics






Three heavy stones will keep it from floating,
Weigh it down to the bottom, food for the fishes.
And I know that it won't be discovered,
'cause I will be careful, so very careful.
What if it doesn't rain for days and the river is,
Reduced to its muddy bed?
With the corpse exposed, I would work in haste,
And I might bury the bones in a shallow grave.
And the rain comes and moves rocks and the stones,
Washes away all the dirt and the mud flows,
Bones are exposed and well,
You know how that goes!

I wait for the day when I finally defile,
The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers.
I'll pile high to the sky,
The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers.

Die die die die die die,
Die die die die die die die,
Watch them die. [2x]

I saw you with him. You looked so happy.
All of that can change, cause I am so lonely.
And I have lots of time to send you straight to the Devil.
I'm taking my time,
To plan your demise.
What if I were to cut you up and mail each part
To a different town?
It would take the most,
Brilliant private eye,
The rest of his life,
Just to put you together.
A piece in each mailbox all over the planet,
From Moscow to Tokyo to Guadalajara.

I wait for the day when I finally defile,
The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers.
I'll pile high to the sky,
The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers.

I wait for the day when I finally destroy,
The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers.
I'll pile high to the sky,
The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers.

Die die die die die die,
Die die die die die die die,
Watch them die. [2x]

I saw you with him, you looked so happy.
That will never change because I know myself too well.
I don't have the courage,
To carry out my dreams,
And only there will I see them,

Die die die die die die,
Die die die die die die die,
Watch them die. [x4]

Voltaire Ex Lover's Lover Comments
  1. D.... K....

    I've been listening to a lot of ASMR's lately, and a lot of them are yandere.
    This song seems to be simultaneously yandere yet also the opposite of yandere.

    D.... K....

    It's about someone who so desperately wants to be a yandere but has far too much restraint and decency.

  2. a.... w....

    god this shit brings me back

  3. S.... A....

    Voltaire's music always makes me feel better.

  29. M.... W....

    M.... W....

    @Pokémaniac Guquiz Actually, 6th now. The 5th ones out, but please don't be weirded out. She's using different animation for this one!

    M.... W....

    @TalkingFez1 saw it. But was a bit weirded out by the change to what looked like Flash

    M.... W....

    @Pokémaniac Guquiz It's how she saw the video!

  30. V.... A....

    Tumblr answer: Turn gay and steal her date.

  31. T.... F....

    This song never gets old for me... it's been on my roadtrip playlist for over 15 years. A timeless piece really...

  32. c.... s....

    Damn I come back to this every few months and every time I hear the first few cello riffs I’m immediately so hyped for Halloween and fall and absolute gothic magic and think why aren’t I a goth?????

  33. R.... R....

    Not tonight...

  34. f.... ....

    God this is such a banger. THOSE STRINGS, MAN. THOSE STRINGS

    THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME AN ANTHEM FOR MY EXs!!!!!! BIG FAN, THANK YOU TO ANDY, A REAL FRIEND WHO TURNED ME ONTO VOLTAIRE!!! ANNIVERSARY IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER!!!! PLEASE VOLTAIRE KEEP UP THIS MUSIC, U GIVE UNDERDOGS LIKE MYSELF A CHANCE TO VENT PROPERLY!!!!

  38. M.... C....

    Not only is this song a very catchy song that, many might think it’s about an unfaithful person cheating on their significant other, it could also be a rather entertaining and catchy threat from someone whose love is so intense, that regardless of the consequences of the actions taken, he/she is willing to kill, dismember and bury all those who dare hurt/get in the way of the love of their life.

    M.... C....

    Mon Cri Check out my song The Ones Who've Hurt You from the Heart Shaped Wound album here on YouTube! ; )

  39. S.... C....

    Every time I hear the opening of game of thrones, I always think of this song ♡

  40. C.... S....

    I find this song liberating and frightening at the same time

    Like it is normal to feel these feelings yet I fear my feelings

    I know awareness tames the monster yet I fear releasing will unleash my desires into action and at the same time I fear repression :/

    This music is healing for me in many ways

    Thank you!

  41. G.... B....

    Reminds me of my ex lol

  42. D.... R....

    I love this song.

  43. E.... ....

    oddly enough my x gf contacted me today. shes mexican. she wanted to get back together. i told her " you cant have my green card" and started singing this. she hung up.

  44. d.... ....

    A classic!

  45. N.... B....

    37 people now dislike this song.
    Wow, his ex-lover is certainly getting through partners at an alarming rate. Perhaps THEY are the one doing all of the proposed murdering! And their last act in this life is to dislike this song as a sign of dissension and which shows their knowledge of THEIR now ex-lover's activities. Thus, sealing their fate.

  46. A.... S....

    HOLY SHIT THIS SONG IS POWERFUL

  47. C.... J....

    That last verse...

  48. B.... 3....

    This is my jam

  49. C.... ....

    The ultimate breakup song.

  50. A.... W....

    ... I was going to buy this too but it turns out the iTunes store is unusable garbage today. :(

  51. J.... ....

    Thats around 120 some drinks for the whole song...

  52. S.... F....

    this reminds me of a relative of mine who killed his wife's lover. #rolemodel

    S.... F....

    i was being sarcastic in case anyone wasn't aware.

    S.... F....

    He had the courage

    S.... F....

    @Skyler High I kind of admire him tbh. But it is still a human life. I was and wasn't being sarcastic.

    S.... F....

    @Skyler High it's just something I'm ambivalent about. I covered it up because I didn't want people to think I'm a sociopath. I'm a very jealous lover, but I could never see myself committing a crime of passion.

  53. C.... C....

    had this song on repeat ugh its so addictive

  54. T.... H....

    I have an ex. Once told me she wanted to stick me with knives as she was blaming me for things. She probably wanted me dead. I didn't let it get to me. I never held a grudge back. Now I'm actually one of the few people she can open up too. "Courage" is the key word here. People get afraid. Fear leads to hate. And sure, I was scared too and hid away. Yet somehow she found the courage to be there for me at my worst, despite all the hostility. You might be angry and scared and think of someone as nothing but the worst, but I've learned that the people that hate us can be those that care the most. At least then they care enough to hate as opposed to feeling nothing at all. Unhealthy, yes, but feelings being present nonetheless. Hate is simple the presence of fear. If someone is giving you "I want nothing to do with you" yet lets you be around them anyway when wishing you nothing but the worst then a part of them still cares. Maybe a small part but in time it can get bigger. Long as you don't flee in terror or start playing the blame game. Just got to accept that some people can have major trust issues. It's not a "betrayal" when that happens. Those people can even be hard on themselves for it. Or using it as an excuse to "Be strong". Then we can end up hurting them without meaning too. How many people take responsibility for their own actions and how many turn on those they claim to care about? The former never ends well. The later can even lead to hanging out again. And having things go even further from there. Catch 22 is that we can feel like we don't deserve it at times. Eh, I've also learned that it's not up to me alone about what I deserve. It's as much up to others as it is myself.

  55. S.... D....

    Voltaire I'm a big fan, I discovered u in Billy and Mandy, thanks for the great music.

  56. S.... C....

    I relate to this song, and I love this song. I related to this song most and found it at the same time, some time around last year or maybe the end of the year before. Either way, things happened, and at one point I even made a joke of asking how to make a petrol bomb to blow the guy up. I didn't, of course, but that's not to say I didn't want to hurt the guy. Bad. Oh and in the end he ended up hurting the girl (not physically) so yeah that's two reasons I want to hurt him. Fun times. Aside from that, great song despite being so simple.

  57. e.... a....

    my friend was busking and he sang this song and everyone was walking past him looking horrified it was hilarious he got about £50 out of it though

  58. M.... ....

    (Overwatch) Reaper's favorite song

  59. A.... ....

    I was alone,I was all by myself
    No one was looking, I was thinking of you
    Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
    All by myself...
    All by myself...
    All by myself...

    I went to your house,but no one was there
    I went in your room
    I was all by myself
    You and me had
    Such wonderful times
    When I'm all by myself,
    All by myself.

    A.... ....

    Alienshade DOOK-KIIIIIIIIIIIIIE

  60. J.... ....

    no anime producer use this theme for some yandere scene background... why...

  61. K.... g....

    it's black friday

  62. T.... B....

    I LOVE this song and I'm only 10

  63. S.... F....

    some of his songs sound like irish drinking songs. graveyard picnic too.

  64. H.... _....

    Calm down Reaper XD

  65. S.... ....

    Anybody else glad they watched The Grim Adventures as a kid?
    Considering I would have never found this guy without it, I'm pretty damn glad I did.

    S.... ....

    I watch The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, but I never knew who did the songs, specifically BRAINS!. In fact, it took me a year of listening to this guys music before I figured it out. I'd never seen that he had a song called BRAINS! and when I listened to it, it just hit me like: "Woah, holy fuck."

    S.... ....

    Never watched Grim Adventures, first found this guy on another channel who made a music video of it, fell in love with the brain song ever since XD

    S.... ....

    Snafu Yep.

    S.... ....

    I loved his music before that show, so I was so excited to hear him on my favorite show the time!!

    S.... ....

    Same here. Back then when cartoons were good.

  66. S.... W....

    this song reminds me of the Sabretooth x Wolverine ship; only, you know, Sabretooth really would kill off Wolverine's lovers. . . just for kicks

  67. G.... R....

    DIE DIE DIE

    G.... R....

    Reapers favorite song

    G.... R....

    Tbh


  68. B.... V....

    what type of music is this? Irish?

    B.... V....

    I don`t know what this comes under exactly, but I` Irish and can definitely say with certainty that this is not Irish music :D

    B.... V....

    It's spooky music :)

    B.... V....

    Dark cabaret

    B.... V....

    There's a bit of that Irish bounce in the chorus, but no one dies so it's probably not Irish

  69. m.... ....

    The deep, rough voice in the background really catches you off guard if your first listen is on quality headphones.

    m.... ....

    maruryuu15 I never noticed until I plugged my beats in I still dig

    m.... ....

    maruryuu15 really? Hes practically whispering. Not rough 2/10

    m.... ....

    I didn't notice until I had me headphones in. Scared the hell out of me.

    m.... ....

    Lol I know right.

    m.... ....

    I notice it bf but there something sexy about it when hearing it with headphones on so so sexy or is it just me

  70. A.... M....

    "I'll heil, high to the sky"

    A.... M....

    I cant tell if your mentioning thats what it sounds like, or actually trying to tell Voltaire his lyric is incorrect

    A.... M....

    @Prootzy Zoots I'll let you figure it out.

    A.... M....

    @CrayfishYAY Good.

    A.... M....

    I doubt he'd be heiling much of anything lol

  71. P.... J....

    This song is secretly dedicated to a secret lover of mine.

    P.... J....

    He is singing about killing his ex gfs exes...

    P.... J....

    @Amy King well cept for the cut you up and mail each part verse...that seems a little more pointed towards one

  72. B.... G....

    yep drinking to the slaughter of his exes ex lovers...

  73. T.... ....

    That moment when you realize this is secretly a drinking song.

    T.... ....

    Really?

    T.... ....

    Take a shot or sip every time he sings/says "die." :P

    T.... ....

    No it's not.

    T.... ....

    Sunless Bon-Bon you'd promptly.. You know.. "die".

  74. T.... ....

    Beautiful

  75. L.... D....

    Still one of my favorite songs. I started listening to you as a young teen. I'm 31 now. Feel old yet? 😉

  76. P.... Z....

    54.666 inscritos...

  77. K.... D....

    I know this is fucked up, but I'm listening to this only a few weeks after my ex boyfriend broke up with me. he already has a new girl

    K.... D....

    +Kathryn Dantonio
    Well, instead of just drinking the sorrow away, do it in style. Play the Ex Lovers Lover drinking game. Lol.

    K.... D....

    how is that played.

    K.... D....

    Never mind these types of songs actually make me feel better

    K.... D....

    +Kathryn Dantonio Ha, I know how you feel. My ex-girlfriend did the same trick, pulled the wool right over my freaking eyes. You'll get over it quickly and move on, don't worry ;)

  78. K.... ....

    I think 15 people were the ex-lovers lover

    K.... ....

    20 now, it's okay we can watch them die :3

    K.... ....

    37 now. Wow, his ex-lover is certainly getting through partners at an alarming rate. Perhaps THEY are the one doing all of the proposed murdering!

  79. T.... S....

    The 1st song on Voltaire's 1st album, and it's his best song to this day. I love being yandere.

  80. S.... H....

    I have the signed album

    S.... H....

    lucky fucker

    S.... H....

    +Saxon Draco
    Very lucky. He only passes through the Midwest occasionally.

    S.... H....

    I have every one of his CDs signed... he will sign anything ;) Love Voltaire, what a fun guy

    S.... H....

    You need to come to Dragoncon, he is, luckily, always there

    S.... H....

    He signed a pack of cigarettes for me 😂 I was a smoker at the time and it was the only thing I had on me for him to sign

  81. M.... ....

    The lyrics' arrangement really throws me off when trying to sing along. I love the song as it is, but I'd love to sing to it as well.
    Great work nonetheless, Voltaire!

  82. G.... X....

    id love to preform this song in front of people it has so much showmanship in the way you inflect your voice.

  83. A.... ....

    I like Voltaire, but after hearing this song he's gotten a lot more creepy.

    A.... ....

    This was his first album lol

    A.... ....

    +Dimensional Jake
    How is he not yet already creepy? This is the man who sings songs like Headless Waltz, DDDDEE Song, Happy Birthday My Olde Friend and more.

    A.... ....

    Don't forget Coin Operated Goi hahahaha

    A.... ....

    You mean less creepy... this was his first album.

  84. M.... G....

    voltaire should sing the whole soundrack of sweeney todd

    M.... G....

    Merrin Guthrie yes!

    M.... G....

    Hell yes.

    M.... G....

    P L E A S E!!!!!!!!!!1

  85. I.... P....

    I find it a cute song, personally. The one loves so much his lover, but he is jealous and becomes sick about love at the point he can't say how much he loves, and it is translated in hate and worry, while he is afraid to lose his lover, and could make anything to have her totally for him.
    I love this song!

    I.... P....

    Cute? Now that's true high standards (no offense, I love it too)

  86. J.... E....

    gran canción!

  87. A.... C....

    Great song
    Really.

  88. O.... G....

    die die die die die die....

    O.... G....

    @Games Cooky goths don't cut themselves, wtf r u talking about? And they don't have any trouble with their emotions, сonversely. they are to serious

    O.... G....

    +Peter Rodrigues
    Major difference between Goth and Emo darling. One's a trendy music and fashion style and the other is a full blown subculture that has been around since the 70s.

    O.... G....

    +Games Cooky
    Not really. Goth is a full blown subculture. Few Goths self harm. Being Goth is mostly just a culture thing. We have our own movies, music, fashion, events, and mindset.

  89. T.... G....

    damn the 8 people who gave this wonderful song a thumbs down!

    T.... G....

    Hell does,we dunno about heaven....
    Then again,it could be Heaven Voltaire went to, God could just wanted to accomodate him better,so He made a faux Hell that was actually part of Heaven so that He could feel right at home,rather than being tortured in Hell/in a place whose tone didn't fit him.

    T.... G....

    @masterxehanort3 singing your death ,death ,devil, devil ,evil, evil songs......

    T.... G....

    @Oberyn Martell
    Indeed...

    T.... G....

    don't worry I will watch them die, die, die die die die
    watch them die.

    T.... G....

    no, 11!!!! why???!!!

  90. T.... G....

    the perfect song for a break up

  91. N.... ....

    dont worry voltaire ill do it for you and watch them Die die die die die die
    Die die die die die die die
    Watch them die. 

  92. S.... �....

    DRINKING GAME!!!! drink whenever he sais die

    S.... �....

    Ya know what'll happen?

    You'll
    DIE, DIE, DIEDIEDIEDIE

    S.... �....

    "DIE"s of alcohol poisoning :3

    (Overwatch) Reaper's favorite song

    S.... �....

    Sammy Öhrn but then we would DIE! Lol

    I hang my head in shame because so many people beat me to the joke. :(

    quote out the description: ''SCROLL DOWN FOR LYRICS: 
    If you like what you hear, please consider getting a copy at iTunes:

    Or you get a YT vid downloader.....

    I dont pay in dollars, so too bad

    b.... ....

    i am sure he could appreciate your rubles then. Be cute, fucking thief. ^^

    b.... ....

    its LEGAL to download. The guy who uploaded it is the thief !

    b.... ....

    and when it is the artist himself you dumb ass? You know nothing, we are done here, get the last word in, go ahead, it will be as dumb as the first.

    b.... ....

    @B. sade Well then he can expect that the faq of streaming is the same as downloading, so if you good some knowledge of software you know you can easily copy this from this website. So yea, maybe he should put out a demo maybe ? Maybe he doesn't care ? I dont, if he dindt want me to copy this he should not put it on public

  94. b.... ....

    First Voltaire-CD I bought years back and I still play it!

  95. S.... ....

    It's an inner monologue of someone who hates the one he still loves, AND himself for loving her. All that scary shit is just for himself, expression of his hate. He is just a normal person, trying to get out of his tragedy and start a new life. And though he says to himself that he has no courage to kill her, in reality, he simply knows good from bad. 

    Many of us had that tragedy, but hardly anyone went on to kill their ex. Because we are not monsters.

    S.... ....

    I meant Voltaire. If the song is about himself then many of his lines in the song make no sense.

    S.... ....

    @Aleksas Augaitis oh yeah I remember what i was thinking that each of the "bodies" are the thoughts he had to put down about still being her lover but most of it is just him putting his frustrations out there i think

    S.... ....

    At this point it just sounds like your're making shit up in your head as a means of justification. Most people aren't as "deep" as you believe them to be. I see no point in searching for something that isn't there.

    S.... ....

    @Aleksas Augaitis Ok fair point

    S.... ....

    Huh, that's a better way to look at it.
    I always thought it was a reinterpretation of the phrase: "If I can't have what I want, then nobody will."

  97. V.... ....

    This reminds me of something i wanna do... <-< >->

  98. K.... B....

    I'm lucky to have my voice be similar to Voltaires.  I can sing along to this!  Take that, Middle School bullies!  Talking crap about my vocal cords producing a "manly voice"!

    K.... B....

    I know, having a voice that lets you sing along without taking too much away from the song is the best.

    K.... B....

    Voltaire's songs aren't really hard to sing, its more of an intonation of your voice to sound deeper. Most bands of gothic genre have that manly intoned voice that unless the balls haven't drop is easy to replicate.

    K.... B....

    well there's a problem when those bullies think he sounds gay and miswrable, like the bullies here do XD
