A beautifully disturbing non-power ballad from a metal band, Acid Bath's "Scream of the Butterfly" is perfect for wallowing in misery and misanthropy. Might just be (definitely is) the best ballad any metal band ever recorded, and is better than probably 99% of non-metal bands to boot. One of my favorite songs of all-time, and apparently my fourth most listened to song on last.fm, and that's before I got a media player that can sync to last.fm, so in all likelihood it's by far my most listened to track of the past year-and-a-half.

I seriously have no idea how Dax Riggs could have written lyrics so poetic and yet so metal at the same time.




Quote:
A creature made of sunshine
her eyes were like the sky
rabbit howls like something old
as we twitch to a lullaby
the scalpel shines in god's sunshine
the streetlights whisper pain
down here near the poison stream
our god has gone insane

she smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
with blood on her hands
into the sun she stares
she feels it die
I heard her cry

she smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
with blood on her hands
into the sun she stares
she feels it die
I heard her cry...
like the scream of the butterfly

sunshine in the house of flames
she loves it where she gets it
but it's never felt the same
surgery, in the house of dissection
when your candle burns out..I Will resurrect you
she runs
through fields of daisies
yeah, it's just a shame that they eat their own babies
who cares cause the air is free
when you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

There's blood on the moon and the summer is cold
There's blood in the room but that's gettin' old
There's blood on my face sittin' on a dead shore
A highway of emptiness and I'm gettin' bored

there's blood on the moon as we plan our escape
the goddess in bloom
handcuffed and raped
there's blood in the bathtub baby
murdered the king
there's blood on the moon
there's blood on just about everything

sunshine in the house of flames
she loves it where she gets it
but it's never felt the same
surgery, in the house of dissection
when your candle burns out..I will resurrect you
she runs
through fields of daisies
yeah, it's just a shame that they eat their own babies
who cares cos the air is free
when you get there will you kiss the dead for me?

Something cold is forced inside her a tear spills down her cheek
Stillborn songs of a dead dreamer, hymns of the needle freak
With sunlight in her hair she smiles like she don't care her dreams are
liquid blue

I cut myself again and again to remind myself of you

she smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
with blood on her hands
into the sun she stares
she feels it die
I heard her cry

she smiles like a child with flowers in her hair
with blood on her hands
into the sun she stares
she feels it die
I heard her cry

like the scream of the butterfly
like the scream of the butterfly Yea Yea Yeaaaaaa!!!

like the scream of the butterfly
like the scream of the butterfly Yeaaaaaa!!!

like the scream of the butterfly
like the scream of the butterfly Yeaaaaaa!!!

This song reminds me too much of Goron City.

Yes I feel that way too, he has such raw talent that he automatically wins over fans of extreme music while staying true to his own gentle soul. Very interesting character as seen in many interviews such as this one:



Have you gotten into his solo music much? This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite ever albums:

I've listened to a bit of his solo stuff (including that album), along with Agents of Oblivion, and Deadboy and the Elephantmen, and I definitely remembering digging it, but it's been too long and I don't really remember how that stuff even goes. Gonna have to go revisit some of it.

How can something so sad be so beautiful.
