Some Men Are Like Chocolate - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows

careful openness and fragile honesty

had gradually begun to slowly win him over … -

and somehow had lured him here.

Despite my obvious display of defect

my miserable frailty,

of which I never made a secret

I disarmed him with my sincerity

that never waned, despite the laughter

of public insult, ridicule

not even when confessing meant

turning myself into a wretched fool.

Some men are like chocolate

but most of them are like shit

and if you don’t have the experience

to spot that tiny difference

you’re likely to fall for all of it.

In secret, on those rare occasions

when no living soul was near,

no eyes, no ears, no other people

were around to see or hear

so there was no danger of some chance intruder

to doubt his manliness and strength…

then suddenly his words grew gentler.

and his gestures slightly changed.

He did not seem to mind my presence at all

came even closer of his own accord,

yet still he veiled each subtle revelation

in rough-cut gowns of what we call

the «ACCIDENTAL TOUCH»

Some men can truly be like chocolate

but most of them are more like shit,

and if you don’t have the experience

to spot that tiny difference

you’re very likely to fall for all of it Alas, some men are like chocolate

but most of them are like SHIT

and if you don’t have the experience

to spot that subtle difference

you’re likely to fall

for only the promise of a kiss.
