The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Dead Girls" by the artist "Voltaire"

Voltaire's "Dead Girls" is a dark and provocative look at unrequited love, loneliness, and obsession. The lyrical hero, from whose perspective the story is told, appears before us as an outcast, an object of ridicule and misunderstanding. He addresses the "jury," as if defending himself in court against accusations of being strange.

The central motif of the song is the hero's attraction to "dead girls." It's important to understand that this is a metaphor. This is not about necrophilia in the literal sense but about the desire for an unattainable ideal. Living women, according to the hero, reject him, ignore him, and hurt him. Dead girls, on the other hand, embody the ideal of passive, all-accepting, and silent love. They can't hurt, reject, or leave.

There is a lot of pain and bitterness in the lyrics. The hero feels misunderstood, ironically asking, "Don't you understand?" He tries to explain his "abnormality," his "otherness" by saying that he "saw something you will never understand."

The song leaves a heavy impression. It makes you think about the nature of love, loneliness, the price we pay for our "otherness," and how far despair and the thirst to be loved can take a person.
