Description
Kiss Of The Dragon takes its name from the movie "Kiss of the Dragon" with Jet Li. There is a scene in the end of the film where Li's character used an acupuncture needle in a forbidden spot called "the Kiss of the Dragon" which stimulates the blood to flow into the head, but not out of it. This, for me, was the same way that anger works. This song is about dealing with someone you care about who is consumed by rage.
Lyrics
Anger feeds on anger And it grows And it grows And its learning how to function On its own On its own You are spinning round Spinning round A star winding down Winding down And I don’t want to be there When the supernova burns up the sun And I don’t want to be there When the supernova burns up the sun Pyroclastic ire How it burns How it burns Leaving nothing but the ashes For the worms For the worms And how you survive You survive You’re swallowed by the fire Still alive Still alive Spontaneous combustion Is the fastest way to ruin a meal Spontaneous combustion Is the fastest way to ruin a meal I’ve never ever seen Such a lovely shade of red. The Kiss of the Dragon Leaves all its lovers dead. Remember in the embers To bleed what can be bled Or you’ll drown in the blood That’s rushing to your head. Devastating rage What a waste What a waste I never hoped to find it On your face On your face And oh, what’s the use What’s the use? You’ve bottled up the fire turn it loose Turn it loose I only hope to find a way To siphon it before you explode I only hope to find a way To siphon it before you explode
