The Necrophile's Bride

The song 'The Necrophile's Bride' by VOCALOID delves into the macabre and unsettling theme of a love that transcends the boundaries of life and death. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a doctor who falls in love with a deceased woman, going to great lengths to preserve her beauty and keep her by his side. The song opens with the doctor breathing life into the lifeless lips of the woman, symbolizing his desperate attempt to revive her and rekindle their connection. This act sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the doctor's obsession and the lengths he is willing to go to maintain this forbidden love.

The narrative takes a dark turn as the doctor continues to care for the decaying body, adorning it with jewels and fine garments, and attempting to mask the inevitable decay. The lyrics describe the doctor’s actions as both a labor of love and a grotesque defiance of nature. The imagery of the 'white-skinned daughter' coughing and eventually rotting away underscores the tragic and futile nature of the doctor's efforts. Despite the physical decay, the doctor remains enamored, singing of his love and staining his hands with the evidence of his actions.

As the story progresses, the doctor’s actions are eventually discovered, revealing the monstrous reality of his creation. The song questions the morality of the doctor's actions and the societal judgment that follows. The final lines of the song pose a poignant question about justice and righteousness, challenging the listener to consider who is truly in the right. Is it the doctor, who acted out of love and a desire to fulfill the woman's wishes, or society, which condemns him for his actions? This haunting tale of love, obsession, and societal judgment leaves a lasting impression, prompting deep reflection on the nature of love and the boundaries of morality.
