Atreyu: The Crimson Meaning
Song Released: 2005
The Crimson Lyrics
Boys do cry and with blood tears in my eyes I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life.
I can't hide the monster anymore, one can only feel desolate for so long until
One starts to change into...
-
I agree with all of you, it's about the girl his in love with will still like him when she finds out what he was done, Also about him becoming a vampire and wants to hide that so she won't find out.
If you could make a music video for this song, Which we all know that they didn't put a story behind it, what would your story be about??? how would you start off your video??? -
Okay,
so most of you have it down pretty good.
"The Crimson"
Anne Rice's Vampire Cronicles [i'm an anne rice novel come to life]
this song is in my opinion,
In Louis point of view.
In the novel, and the movie,
he talks about how he
"viewed the sun for the last time"
then set out to "Become what I became"
then this part of the song
"will you still hold me
when you see what I have done?
will you still kiss me the same
when you taste my victims blood?
so crimson and red
i feel it flowing fromm your lips
crimson and red
My heart is dead and so are you"
In my opinion is about louis, and Claudia
She is his daughter, and his beloved.
In this movie Louis Is a vampire with a human soul.
something extreamly rare. The Claudia is born into darkness, He loved her with every beat of his imortal heart. Claudia then later finds out that louis feed on him, and Lestat bore her into darkness.she gets upset. and that's what its talking about. Later in the novel, and movie claudia dies. and louis is once again on his own.
Then this part:
"and it pulses through, the desire to change
to deconstruct all of my past failings
but where to begin
because when you live is sin
its hard to look at the saints
without them reflecting their jet black auras back on you
and all I have is hope
my inner burn's not fading
ill wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day"
this is talking about louis, yet again.
and how he would rather spare human life.
yet he only feels peace when he kills,
and He can feel the Blood of the one he kills
pulsing through his viens.
This part-
"And all I have is hope
And all I need is time
To bury in pine under six feet of time
The lies I told me about myself.
Claw my way out,
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails.
I won’t lose hope,
I won’t give in.
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
I try not to die again."
Louis is on his own.
he travels back to new orleans,
and then mets up with Lestat.
Ends up leaving,
and wandering the streets.
He is just trying to live, and go through each day.
ahh blah blah blah.
thats my opinion, so don't tell me I'm wrong.
kthnks. -

Before a show, Alex claimed that this song was written because he fucked up, then fixed it, then fucked up again, and the cycle just continued. He claimed that the only way to learn is to keep fucking up. I agree with everyone about the vampires being a dark metaphor and the cheating, but I'll go with the author's interpretation :p lol
-
it is about being a vampire, but that is primarily just a metaphor for things he has done wrong
-
It is about a vampire. Anne Rice is an author that writes about vampires and such.
-
dude it's sooo efing simple he's afraid his girlfriend will leave him when she finds out he's truly a vampire.
-
I heard alex before a show claim it was about growing up. But you two near the top are right, him becoming a vampire and hoping his girlfriend will still love him after he, like, goes and kills people. lol
-
Robert smith was a singer/guitarist in The Cure, who wrote a song called Boys Don't Cry.
-
what does "and robert smith lied mean?"
-
yeah, this song is about turning into a vampire. or I think it might be about a guy keeping a secret from a girl, about turning into a vampire.
wicked good song! -
I see a few different meanings in this song
One of the main ones is the singer is wondering if this girl, probably a girlfriend will still like him if she finds out what he has done in the past, he has made mistakes and is wondering if she will still like him the same if he told her.
"will you still hold me when you see what I have done, will you still kiss me the same"
another meaning could be something to do with vampires hence the anne rice novel coz she is a author that writes mostly of vampires -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
You guys are both right. It is about becoming a vampire, but it is also about if his 'girl' will still love him when she finds out what he has become and the things he has done.
"will you still hold me when you see what I have done. Will you still kiss me the same, when you taste my victims blood"
