Love Beyond the Grave: The Dark Romance of 'Necrofancy'

Scary Bitches' song 'Necrofancy' delves into the macabre and unsettling theme of a love that transcends death. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a narrator who is unable to let go of their deceased lover, despite the physical decay of the body. This morbid attachment is expressed through a series of haunting and darkly humorous lines, revealing a deep sense of denial and an inability to say goodbye. The repeated imagery of the lover's rotting flesh juxtaposed with the narrator's tender feelings creates a chilling contrast that underscores the song's gothic atmosphere.

The song explores themes of grief, denial, and the lengths to which one might go to preserve a lost love. The narrator's actions, such as lying beside the corpse and handling it gently to prevent further decay, highlight a desperate attempt to maintain a connection with the deceased. This is further emphasized by the lines about keeping the body hidden from visitors and the dark humor of bringing home other lovers, knowing the deceased will 'stay out of the way.' The song's eerie tone is amplified by the narrator's twisted sense of normalcy, as they find solace in the fact that their lover is now a 'much more faithful' partner in death than they were in life.

'Necrofancy' also touches on the theme of control and possession. In death, the lover becomes an object that the narrator can manipulate and control, a stark contrast to the unpredictability and flaws of their relationship when the lover was alive. This shift in dynamics is highlighted by the lines about no longer arguing or dealing with drunken behavior. The song's dark humor and gothic elements serve to both disturb and fascinate, making 'Necrofancy' a compelling exploration of love, loss, and the human desire to hold on to what is gone.
