Lyrics

Some people believe the song is about a serial killer and some of the lyrics seem to agree with this claim. “The man in the dark will bring another attack” and “I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming” certainly seem to refer to a murderer however a number of the lyrics point to the song being about prostitution. The mention of things like "red lights" is just one possible indication. Further evidence to support this in claim is at the end of the song where “A hand in the bush” is repeated over and over, this is a clear reference to fisting Some people prefer to take a hybrid view and believe the song is about a killer with a modus operandi similar to that of Jack the Ripper. This mutual view point seems to be supported by most of the lyrics however the lyrics are vague and metaphorical so no definite conclusion can be drawn.
