There was a silver circle sign
And she was standing at the door
We pressed our way right through the crowd
Our pace was quickened to her floor
There was a single feigning light
And there was silk all on the walls
She had a lot of love to give
I was prepared to take it all
(But what did she do next?)
She had disrobed and she was
Waiting on the floor
She asked me what it was I want
I thought that I wanted it all
(What did you say?)
I said stand up and move your body to the bed
She quickly stood and slowly turned
And here’s exactly what she said …
«Please be soft and sweet to me
This life has not been good, you see
It’s hard with such a history
Buried in misery»
(And what did you do next?)
I broke a smile, reminding that I paid
Her well. Her lips returned, and then I felt
Her hands unbuckling my belt
(So was it good?)
It felt like heaven but I’m sure she was in
Hell. I made it clear that I’d get my money’s
Worth out of the goods she sells
Break and bind yourself to me
Deliver what you sold you see that
I will only take from you
And use it up. I’ll use you up
What was your name?
I just started listening to The Dear Hunter last night. I had heard a lot about them but decided to check out a few songs before I went to bed. I was up almost all night listening to Act I,II, and III. It is the most amazing music I have ever heard.
In case anyone is wondering, this song takes place when the soldiers in the war gather around start telling each other stories and one of them tells about a prostitute he had sex with and treated like garbage named Ms. Terri, leading The Dear Hunter to dsicover that this man is his father.
You can tell he's talking about "The Dime" (the church/brothel) at the begining when he says "There was a silver circle sign".
I thought it was about the Boy and his squad telling stories of their past. One specific person tells a story of his expierence at the Dime and how he had sex with a prostitute by the name of Ms. Terri. The name catches the boy's attention.
I assume by the "what was your name?" the song is talking about ms.terri, right? at first I thought it was ms.leading and I was like D: but ms.terri sounds more like it.
