Is there a meaning behind "Miss Murder"? Who is this Miss Murder that's after Davey? First, let's take a look at the lyrics, including Prelude 12/21.
This is what I brought you, this you can keep.
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you this you can keep.
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promised you my heart,
Just promise to sing kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought I thought you'd need me.
This is what I thought so think me naive.
I promise you my heart,
You promise to keep kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to . . . Sleep. (Prelude 12/21)
Hey Miss Murder can I.
Hey Miss Murder can I,
Make beauty stay if I, take my life?
Whoa oh oh.
With just a look, they shook.
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look,
Can break,
Your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky,
He left them all behind,
We're left to wonder why he left us all behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I.
Hey Miss Murder can I,
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
Whoa oh oh.
Dreams of his crash,
Won't pass.
Or how they all adored him.
Beauty will last,
When spiraled . . . Down.
The stars that mystify,
He left them all behind.
And how his children cry.
He left us all . . . Behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I.
Hey Miss Murder can I,
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
Whoa oh oh.
What's the look,
The twist within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
At the cost of love your ray of light will fizzle out,
Without hope.
When the empty sand just flowing through our empty skin.
Ever searching for what we were promised,
Reaching for the golden ring we'd never let go.
Who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey Miss Murder can I.
Hey Miss Murder can I,
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
Whoa oh oh.
Hey Miss Murder can I.
Hey Miss Murder can I,
Make beauty stay if I take my life?
Whoa oh oh.
So, after reading those lyrics what do you get from them? Prelude 12/21 sounds like a love song, right? That's about all I got from it. But more comes from the ret -- it sounds like, maybe Miss Murder was going to kill a gorgeous man, who was very loved, well known . . . maybe famous? Or maybe Miss Murder drove him to suicide? I'm not sure, just what I got. Y-mail or post it in the BBS what you think the song is about, but continuing on.
Now let's go over the music video. The music video shows a woman, sitting a desk; she is most likely "Miss Murder." You see her folding a piece of paper, and putting it in her mouth. At the same time Davey is singing (sitting in almost an identical area), and you see the band getting ready to play. When the prelude is over, you see Davey looking in a mirror and taking a piece of paper out of his mouth.
Following that, Miss Murder leaves, and Davey opens the note with a shocking look and begins singing. He's still at the desk, but he's just singing into the camera. You can also see the band playing. Then before the bridge, you see Davey and Miss Murder walking out of their areas. Then Davey is seen rallying and saluting the crowd, because he knows Miss Murder is after him. So, he's trying to keep her back. But surprisingly enough, Miss Murder walks out of the building. Then Davey shows a surprised, and enraged face. You can also see little scenes of him back at the desk, and the band too.
Then he's seen back at the desk with Miss Murder approaching with a rabbit. There she places it on the ground, and Davey turns in his chair, and sees 13 black rabbits on the floor. Then Davey picks one up, and makes a strange sound while singing "without hope." There are more scenes from him at the desk, rallying the crowd, and the rest of the band. (At the end you can also see that the paper had an AFI logo on it, from Decemberunderground, three black rabbits spaced evenly around the band's name.)
So now, Davey, is maybe that mystery man. But hey, he's not dead, what gives. Maybe Davey is portraying something. Some say he looks like Hitler, and that he's on the United Nations building. So now it's Hitler, who's going to be killed by Miss Murder or driven to suicide? But there's a part that's wrong. Hitler had no children. (Also he wasn't the most gorgeous man, and no one would be upset really if he died, I mean the people he had relationships with, and his niece attempted suicide.) So, who can it be. If you have a lead, also mail me. (BBS also)
Who is this so called "Miss Murder"? On wikipedia.org, the main website I used for this, it didn't mention who Miss Murder was. So, what now. We have no clue if it is Davey who this song was written about?
Next week if this even makes it in, I will do another "Inside The Song," on the song, "Seize The Day" by Avenged Sevenfold (A7X)
