Wolfe, Chelsea - Mer Lyrics

the ring

Как же необычно

Another masterpiece from the gothic queen

💗💗💗💗💗💗

[Verse 1]
Hollow courtship, run-on, pointless
Faint dreams creeping, endless
Timeless, wasted, fucking jaded
Destroy, demand, ending, craving
Seething, teething, war, war
Hands waving, hands bleeding

[Chorus]
How can you live with yourself?

[Verse 2]
Cities, countries, children hunting
Worn, wearing down, down
Hear, speak, breathe, eat
Crave, pour, drink, need
Wake, never, fully, ever
Shiver, shake

La mer, haunted, sexuality
Curves, angles, charcoal to paper
Memory, history, capsize, explain
Express, stomach, take it out
Out, out, out, out, out, out

[Chorus]
How can you live with yourself?

Pure awesome, the occult imagery is beautiful as well as the music , I've been a fan of this siren for quite a while and her music has always moved me . It's the dark otherworldly
vibes steeped in her control and intention that comes through in her music , this is what I love about her art.

Can someone explain how this has a Kenneth Anger influence? I don’t see it.

Wish she still sounded like this

watch it on acid... you´ll "see" more.
Amazing work!

Hermosa ella 🤗😘😍

Terrible

Good stuff!

great...

Whoever directed this did a great job.

I don't understand the language
But my last name is [MER]
Full name is rishi mer

Chelsea has stated in some interviews that she used to be in a cult so of course this I partially wha it’s about I guess.

Essa música revelou um pouco do que muit@s pessoas tem curiosidade, dentro de um som perfeito 😎✌

I can't tell you how many hours I've passed with this on repeat.

I just want to know where this was filmed.

2:57 Sasha Grey?

I wish they had of deceased the size of it or had been able to add 1 or 2 more girls to that loop on the beach so they didn't end up looking as if they were awkwardly pulling each other around a video shoot and instead guiding each other through some sort of ritual.

This is probably one of my favourite music videos, I hate that my mind can end up fixating on one thing but I guess it's good to know we won't really be going to hell by enjoying this blasphemy...

Ved buens end a little bit in the music, not vocals though. Good. I want the sweater with the teeth.

Just purchased this cd.this song does it for me,haunting.

I'm acquiring an addiction to this woman

Strong PJ Harvey influence.

Never have I been so attracted to a musician before.

Like PJ harvey

Now I know where AHS: Coven took their idea

🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜

Was it filmed in the Faroe Islands?

The symbol at the beginning and end in the rock, and on the girls dresses is a Ancient Norse Rune Stone known as Laguz. It is the rune of the waters, hence MER. The "r" in MER is written as this Rune symbol. Laguz concerns itself with imagination and dreaming. It suggests that we let things flow to us, rather than aggressively going after them. Laguz carries a deeply spiritual energy, one that asks us to connect with the more intuitive and psychic aspects of ourselves. It asks us to feel our way rather than think our way forward. Hope this adds some wisdom to interpreting meaning.
Let the messages this video and song brings to you flow and come to you.
SKAL!! <3

fuckin masterpiece

How can you live with yourself

An album made in heaven. I can die in peace now.

The sign that appears at the beggining is a viking rune wich meaning is psychic powers, and adding 6 more all together form a sigil "mer"

actually feelings of soul

Chelsea Goddess.

Radiohead anyone?
I love her!!

me.caso

So I think the women are doing a ritual to punish their husbands/boyfriends for their crimes. One girl throws coins into the fire and one of the mans pockets start spilling out sand showing that his problem was greed and/or a love of possessions rather than of his wife/girlfriend, I think the second guys problem was that he was unfaithful as the girl throws a garter from one of the other girls into the fire, and with the third guy a girl throws a mirror into the fire and his eyes start bleeding showing that his problem was vanity

Unworthy Unbeliever there's nothing wrong don't worry

Unworthy Unbeliever I wish I know what everything there means

Good job!

João Victor onde você aprendeu essas coisas? Desculpa estou curiosa rsrsrs

i agree...and btw.. symbol at the begining something like |\ is rune Laguz it signifies the sea, dark undiscovered depths of the sea and psyche as well, it also signifies deep and raw sexuality and emotions, and last but not least it points to magic as something when people who know how to do, do it by reaching in forementioned depths of psyche, soul and world itself... the women in the video are clearly doing the ritual but maybe specific ritual for specific cause is not that important here as is the very act of doing that which is in lieu with Laguz XD

This song remind me of Frida Snell, another great songwriter.

soy el ùnico al que esto le parece muy sexy?

This frightens me.
I like it.

I am thoroughly enamored.

Amo ela♥♥♥♥

This was the first Chelsea song I heard, so glad I found it.

have you listened to the whole Ἀποκάλυψις album yet this was taken from? one of my favorite albums from her and ''pain is beauty''

dink dink

Jasmine Robb DINKKKKKK. I just saw your comment now haha

Her earlier work is better.

this is how it all started for me.

henri crousteau Yea, same.

Me toooo

I hear ya there

she's my ideal women. besides the beauty. she's talented. I love the work.

Your music videos really have that certain something. Especially this one and the portal one, from what I've seen. Love the visual style in both, they have a very strong effect but serve the music very well. I look forward to seeing more of your amazing work :)

#marryme

Ugh, I've been trying to figure out where I've heard this song before. It's driving me fucking nuts.

Same here. Think it was in a movie or series.

Beginning riff sounds like one of Touché Amoré.

this song is haunting:) I really dig Chelsea.

I see some nine inch nails in this video

If i show this song to my parents they're going to think that its a satanic ritual lmao

make everything a satanic ritual

@Lost KhajiitFirst of all: If you had actually read what I wrote instead of skimming you would understand that I was not "Shitting on your opinion for expressing it" or even the opinion itself but rather the method of which you used to express it. Second: You can't de-value a persons opinion by belittling them; argue like an adult. Third: Should I bow down to you because of the sheer fact that you expressed your opinion...The answer is no. I am allowed to disagree with you and if you would like clarification as to why than just ask, don't assume my reasonings and immediately antagonize me based on a loaded assumption. Fourth: I'm not upset at all (you are just projecting me to be a specific type of person so you can have an outlet to lash out at) I am just baffled at the conclusions you drew in your argument and If anything I was on your side, I agree with your stance on satanism, I just didn't agree with how you went about expressing your opinion (I felt that you were too antagonistic) but now I see that I don't want to be on your side as you've done nothing here but make an ass of yourself.

They would be right

bruh ikr niggas be like "shits satinic" but im like bruh its artistic not sutistic yo if you want some good torrentscheckl out'biggdicktorrents.net/bruh

They're probably right.

I'm curious what that symbol is from the beginning and the end of the video.

It's the Lagu rune, which means "Lake" or "water." This makes sense, because "Mer" is French for "sea."

It's a backwards 1

...it reminds me of another song, but I just cannot remember....makes me furious

I want her to play this song on 2016 tour. At the NJ show, preferably. Haha

+Shannon M Just saw it in Pittsburgh last night :)

@W. George Sadly, I wasn't able to go to the show. Kudos to you for attending. ;D

She played it in Boston and I was happy.

Great show :) I was very happy that I was able to make it. I think she had to call of the next couple because of sickness? Glad they were all feeling up to it.

Yeah, it was my first show and I was glad to go but hopefully she will not have such bad luck next time she tours. I was going to see her in RI the next day too

Laguz rune

som do demonio

the power of Jesus Christ overcomes you!!!!!

+James Milner

Either you are a troll quoting The Exorcist (badly) or need some medical help.

Chill the fuck out.

beautiful.

Beautiful

How can you live with yourself?!

Don't think about it

Omole Musah-Eroje It's a part of the lyrics

I know, I was just replying to the rhetorical question

Read that as Chelsea sang it! XD spooky

can people give me their interpretations of this song?

thats a really good interpretation! i used this song for a project in music class and mine was that she was comparing a destructive realtionship, that she was ashamed of, to the sea which can be equally destructive and shes ashamed that she needs this relationship i the same way that she needs water... idk. haha.

@Erin Archambault I like Your idea with relationship 'cause I think a little similiar. I watched some interviews with Chelsea Wolfe and she said there sth about that she writes songs those are mostly about relationships between people. When I typed about shame I meant some shameful relationship. I am not sure if lyrical person tells about herself or points others but I would agree it's somethin' this way. I am impressed you took it as project song. I would be ashamed I tell some fakes during the class lol

it's all about embracing your dark side. demons the moon. monsters, MOONstars it's just a deity of the moon but it's also a part of you. since the moon rules your subconscious mind just like the sun rules your conscious mind. so how could you live with yourself while demonising your shadow self. she wants us to know that we are one. the yin and the yang.. but then again the media church etc will keep demonising it so as long as you believe them you will never have control of your subconscious aspects which are really more powerful than your conscious aspects but your work is to be aware of both..in this world everyone is blind but the ones with their third eye open have an advantage and will always be in control as long as we stay asleep

+Black Jaguar (Indigo Child)   Yes, embracing the dark side....

I agree more with the notion of embracing your evil side. I think the line How can you live with yourself is more mocking than serious. Just my take though. You might like a track called Writes in Black if you like music a little different by some UK band

2:57 wuddup wuuuddduuuppppppp

Satisfying percussion.

Такое вступление испоганила... дура

love ya !

Unbelievable song. I'm speechless...

sounds like it could be on portishead third

+Bloody Twins

Just needs some DJ scratching and a more processed beat, haha.

Bloody Twins Totally agree. The song screams Third out loud. Reminds of PJ Harvey too.

With more folk influences

Yeah honestly I heard the vocal treatment and was confused for a second.

Fucking amazing!
Brilliant. ..damn..

Chelsea Wolfe is one dark, sexy witch of a woman! I'm so captivated by her in this video. The intensity she gives off around the 2:36 mark... fuck!!!

chelsea wolfe is literally all ive ever wanted in a woman. but never got.

Tanisha M Very well said

Chelsea Wolfe it's a fantastic songswriter,and atmosphere of her songs it's surrealistic.

The Moon is most pleased with this!

@Screaming Moon  hello moon

hipnòtico

Guitar reminds me of Head in the Ceiling Fan by Title Fight at a couple parts... I think this song actually came out first though

ok. goki or whatever you name is. why did you take time to be negative about such an awesome person? im sure you are soooo cool!

2:58 is it Sasha Grey? O_O xD

@michyrock1 thanks :)

You're welcome :)

She is Sasha Grey!

@Corvus its not, but chelsea wolfe does know her i think as they used to be on the same record label

Not to be immature here but those waves at 0:14 look like dicks.

I'll say it. Honestly I thought they looked like dicks too.

But I probably definitely am immature

well they could make them look phallus-like intentionally considering the content of the video

They look more like fingers to me.

Clip is like a frame of art work  this artist can express and enhance a color. 
express & enhance is a beautiful thing. thank you Chelsea! 

love the dark atmosphere in her videos they go so well with her dark music. thank God it wont get mainstream this way.

@viki vik I think she has a video on vevo :/ lol

what’s wrong with mainstream tho? doesn’t that just mean she’s getting the recognition she deserves? and isn’t she kinda mainstream now?

@Bunnygirl yes but was it really necessary to do a song with DJ Khaled and Lil Uzi Vert?, i think it was a bit too much from her.

@M A wtf are you talking about

@Noémie DeSantis im sippin gin n juice lol

Witch :)

Interesting. The first symbol seen (like a lowercase r) is symbolic in runes as "Flow" (Water, Sea, a fertility source.). The M that starts the word MER is akin to the rune symbol for "Movement" (Horse, associated with the Course of the Sun.) Water = feminine. (as seen with the women on the beach)  Sun = Masculine (as seen with the lit candles/fire)

Also, the word "mer" means "sea" in French 

Very nice insight , yes these creatures have the water and intuition for sure. Charged with the fertility symbols for sure .
But thanks for the rune info.

She is a talented musician.Apkalypsis is already one of my favorite albums.i have mad respect for her handling out several genres and no matter what delivering the music and atmosphere.God i think i can fangirl over her all day.

Seriously this song makes me want to re-install diablo 2

excellent post

underrated

I came thanks to revolver mag. And, I like it!! And, I am in love with her!! :)

i cant see any talent, just a pagan ritual. this is the fashion now i guess.

we live in a world of pagans, what else would you prefer to see?

Heathen and pagan are different

@Dead Light your point being?

Why must you comment on Chelsea Wolfe's video calling it something pertaining to Paganism? I've seen your comments quite a few times now on her videos. Your comments are pointless and and you're just starting useless arguments. If you don't like her music don't listen to it. It's your choice you're not being forced to listen to her.

You've obviously never seen her live. This chick fills the room with talent.
