Cradle Of Filth: Filthy Little Secret Meaning

Filthy Little Secret Lyrics

There hides a secret
Deeply twined inside of her mind
A tried and confined egret
That pines to fly south
To this mouth of mine

Pity

Too long have these emotions
Like potions, made me
A sole castellan
Trusted to keep
The weight of...

   Oh and yeah persephone spends half the year in hell an half on heaven an earth, whereas in the song this women is spending the day on heaven an earth an the nights in hell. an the person singing has fallen in love with her by the way but won't risk breaching the gaps, though he eventualy will as he says he would risk all for one moment of bliss. I'm Spen by the way! http://sp3n2.bebo.com

   Seems to me that the women he talks off is bridging the gap between Hell and Earth. He refers to her as Persephone (and Demeter is mentioned, that's Persephones mother), which was an ancient Greek Goddess who had been abducted to the underworld by it's ruler, Hades, but Demeters wrath brought the world hunger an pain an so Zeus demanded her back. but as she had eaten in hell, a pommegranite, she had to stay. a compromise was found an she spent half the year in Hell an half on earth an heaven.
   He also says he's the sole castellan (which is like a caretaker, an he's the sole one) posted to keep slow wheels in motion from the human race to beat. So he has to keep the secret for the sake of humanity. It says without her there thin walls would crumble (the preverbial walls that seperate earth an Hell). So she must be kept safe to stop hell invading basically.

   This one sounds like the same as "Nymphetamine" but a little different... The guy is obsessed with the chick, and she leaves him, but in this one he doesn't want to let go, and he talking about why she's like a drug and he can't let her leave him.
