Opeth Mystery Girl

[Blackwater Demon]

Does anyone know who Mike is talking about when he says from Coil, "She told me why she told me lies" and then from When, "I knew she had lied" it sounds like someone fucked him over bad. SO is she?

MAYH has a concept, you know.

 

[Blackwater Demon]

no I didnt know. I knew the last lyric in each song was the title of the next song but that was it.

 

[Crepuscularia]

I don't know her name, but I know she left him for Jack Frober.

 

[L0bster]

95% sure its because Mikael think the lyrics look nice with "she.." , you know, a little bit more dramatic. Adding lies on top of that, and boom.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

Maybe it's the same girl from To Bid You Farewell?

 

[PeeWee1473]

Uh, it's probably the same "she" that every metal/rock lyricist has ever sung about. You know......she.

 

[Hedon-]

no
bid farewell = real life girlfriend
when = the ghost character's girlfriend
coil = mom

 

[abandonedwaz]

I kinda dont liek the way he sings coil.....too accented..."LIIIIEEEEEEeeeeesssss"......"WWWhhhhhiiiiiiieeeeeeee".....i always skip that song.....plus that girl singer has a very mediocre song....OK....ti post was not helpful at all....but to answer ure question....in WHEN....by SHE he means MELINDA.....coz shes teh girl he likes bu was banished from teh twn...bla h hblah blah........PEAC EOUT

 

[SerenityNow!]

No, Melinda's in Still life. That and MAYH are 2 totally different stories. As for who "she" is in Coil, I think is meant for interpretation.

 

[RjBeals]

I don't know her name, but I know she left him for Jack Frober.

Jeez. I leave this forum for a couple years, come back and the first thread I look at mentions Jack Frober. Insanity!

 

[opethpainter]

try in other 2 years then... who knows what happens, maybe nothing.

 

[isolation_years]

MAYH has a concept, you know.

coil is on watershed........not MAYH


and good thread DF, i know mikael said all these lyrics were very personal, which is why he didnt print them right away, so maybe one day we'll find out what these songs are about

why ignore my post it has all the answers

nobody is talking about MAYH, you know.

 

[Luann]

no
bid farewell = real life girlfriend
when = the ghost character's girlfriend
coil = mom

Seems like you could be right.

 

[Mr Samsara]

Jaclyn Frober

That's ironic, because you're the only one who said the right answer.

...Guys c'mon. The "she" is just about different women in different stories. Most of Opeth albums are concept album. Exception for Damnation, and I don't really know about Orchid and Morningrise.

 

[Blackwater Demon]

I had just been wondering this for a while. I take it someone close to him fucked him over. We should all give Mike a big hug.

 

[αlphaWhore]

Wait, Mikael was FUCKED by a SHE? That doesn't even make sense
