COIL Song Meanings

I recommend this website to anyone interested in COIL's lyrics. Not many have people posted on it, but there is still some great insight into the meaning behind the songs. I was surprised to learn that much of Jhonn's lyrics are borrowed from other artists, most notably William Blake. I encourage you to contribute your lyrical interpretations.

The Sick Rose by William Blake

O rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
