HIM - Katherine wheel lyrics

[MrCraigSmithson]

Ducks like bread ..

Just saying.

[mythicstealth]

St. Catherine of Alexandria was tortured on this device. A person was strapped to a wheel that turned & the executioner used a hammer to break their bones-it was a slow death. So it correlates to "love" being a form of torture.

[conecht]

@mythicstealth crying :'( cryiiiiing :' ,(

[EricSnowmane]

@mythicstealth Actually, St. Catherine was sentenced to be tortured on a breaking wheel, but it miraculously broke, so she was beheaded. But the name Catherine Wheel stuck ayways.

[Psilocybong420]

people...you need to look up some devildriver videos

[MartaHorrorPcturShow]

You have to love Ville´s cracy ideas for songs

When i first heard this song i hated it, it was to poppy, and the lyrics of how he suffered for Katherines love were confusing

Then i made a little research, turns out, Katherine Wheel was a torture device.

And it all makes sense! he made a love song to a torture device!

Now, isnt that just pure genious?

[David120692]

@MartaHorrorPcturShow You didn't know what Katherine wheel is? :D Well now you know...but it's still quite a general knowledge. I'm not from England, but we have still learned this in High School at history :)

[MartaHorrorPcturShow]

@David120692 Well, no, i didn´t studied torture devices in school...

[xRainxBowxBritex]

it's in a world giving head to a gun. yeah. it's fucked, but amazing. changes the meaning completely. it is though, like "blowing" a gun, as in shooting yourself in the head. just so you guys know.(:

[starshadowgirl88]

I am creeped out this is my name and my spelling

[KatarinaMJLambert]

Ville Valoooo I`m burning for youuuuuuuuuuu !!!!!

[SamanthaHarrison23]

who the fuck is Katherine Wheel???

[Keiorae]

@SamanthaHarrison23 It's actually a firework, lol

[SamanthaHarrison23]

@Keiorae

for real? -.- FAIL!

[nikkisuicidefly]

@SamanthaHarrison23

Catherine of the Wheel was a christian martyr who died in a wheel or a barrel full of spikes. I read about it once but I can't fully remember anymore.

[SamanthaHarrison23]

@nikkisuicidefly

hey thanks.

i heard so MANY theories about this song.

1- It's dedicated to Kat Von D

2- Katherine Wheel was a torture thingy

3-the one you just said..

4- it's fireworks

confuuusing -.-

[jaanuska95]

My other/ second name is Katherine. :D

[56789aaron]

H.I.M. best band EVER

[cryoffalcon]

There is another mistake left, your lyrics say "with the WALL within" while he is saying "with the WORLD within" its at 2:27, i love HIM and i think that's how every visitor of this song feels like ^_^

[cryoffalcon]

you got the same mistake IN YOUR 2ND VERSION OF THIS SONG at same place, there you have used "with the WAR within" i saw that mistake at azlyrics.com and contacted them to correct it (today, lets hope they do it). it's "with the WORLD within"

[FerociousSavior]

between you and iiiiii what r u waiting forr. BUTIFAL

[TheSy182]

Brilliant tune

[sandra12petrovska]

This is my favorite song from Screamworks: Love in theory and practice !!!!!!!

[MrGetdrunkortrydying]

a katherine wheel was a torture device and saint catherine of alexandria was tortured by it

[pgoodzmusic]

[CassidyRayofSunshine]

I know it's been said but...."click here for see the other video"?

This is the sexiest song....

[Cristina491]

@CassidyRayofSunshine 

[missvampyregurl]

[rawrxiscareyou]

Holding hands won't be enough in a world **giving head to a gun**

[kingsx123]

This is by far my favourite song on Screamworks.Maybe along with Disarm me with your loneliness.

MAY HIM NEVER DIE!!!!!!!

[openmint78]

wow! congratulations! master of video editor, great subtitles!

[sigliumdiaboli]

did you do somthing to the sound i think it kinda sounds better could just be the computer tho?

[carlosf8888]

}{~}{ }{ }{\/}{

[KatherineInBraille]

For me, it's a song about a toxic relationship and that reminds me of my friend's love. Her boyfriend is extremely jealous and overprotective, but also violent. Once, she told us that she did not want him to go abroad, so he knocked her down so as she fell on the bed, pushed her face hard into the mattres and said:'You think you can tell me what to do?' There was no point in calling the police- he's a cop.

[princessyoukai1234]

did you know he is not talking about a person but a torture device called "catherine wheel"?

[judasromero]

@princessyoukai1234 Saint Catherine of Alexandria (died A.D. 307), who was condemned to be tortured on a wheel. There is such a person ;)

[princessyoukai1234]

@judasromero really?wow i can really be thoughtless some times i thought a girl named it after herself XD

[himlover4eva93]

Who cares about the mistakes in the lyrics in the video?

This song is great, so all you need to do is listen to it.

If you really want the lyrics, go and find them on the internet!~

[TheFranchesca2009]

This song always gives me the chills and I always want to sing to it =DD I can't handle being quiet with the rhythm!

[Xoxoxy14]

I wonder if there is any horror film which has this torture device, it's pretty sick.

Anyway I love how he uses these kind of metaphores.

[abd12385]

@Xoxoxy14 on fatal frame they do it. itrs a video game

[Xoxoxy14]

@abd12385 awsome

[a7xlover10]

[abd12385]

@xDeadlyxDarlingx OH THANK YOU



[squishsquishboom]

@abd12385 ...pathetic, ignorant person giving HIM fans a bad name much?

[abd12385]

@squishsquishboom and what do you mean bye that?

[squishsquishboom]

@abd12385 what i mean BY that, is that you sound like one of these pathetic fan girls like ZOMG THEY HAVE A WIFEEE?!

[abd12385]

@squishsquishboom i`m very aware he has a wife her name is jonna nygren. and i`m also not stupid or pathetic.

[squishsquishboom]

@abd12385 well you sounded it by acting annoying he was singing about about 'katherine' lol.

[abd12385]

@squishsquishboom i was confused cause I hadn`t learn the meaning of that english fraze. so I didnt know of him dating a katherine wheel but some people told me what it was so then I understood and continued reserch on that time period, like the preists fork. I had no idea what that was.

[abd12385]

@squishsquishboom can you also not go wifeee its difficult for me to translate english isn`t my first language.

[weedenny]

-In a world giving head to a gun.-

[MrNataska16]

^^!

[Kagaaah]

I am now happy my name is Katherine :)

[Cristina491]

@Kagaaah ''Katherine'' i think the song is for Kat von D.. her real name is Katherine and they r friends..

[Kagaaah]

@Cristina491 Yes I know this...

I was just saying I like it because my name is also Katherine :)

[bermel13]

@Cristina491 Katherine Wheel is actually about a torture device!

[abd12385]

@Kagaaah haha lol your half torture device..

[SylkieOndine]

Oh, God, HIM rocks!

[crimsonmoon92]

Does anyone know the answer as to why the song is named, "Katherine Wheel". Is that just the name of the girl he came up with? Or does "wheel" symbolize something?

[MsExplosionshurt]

@crimsonmoon92 The Catherine Wheel is a medieval device of torture-the song is reference to it.They were very popular in Germany.

[musicmydrug10]

I keep hearing this band and thinking I gotta talk about em! I gotta tweet this song, it's so great! So full, so maticulous with every track set, just divine for my lil ears... Great Talent, look forward to more.

[crittoprrr]

[MrAmosoy]

@spyyXX you should read the descripcion <.<

[spyyXX]

@MrAmosoy i did(:

[MultiGirlsrule]

@MrAmosoy For only 2 mistakes, you sure make a lot of it.

[squishsquishboom]

@spyyXX i dont know why people bitch about the lyrics, i put it on to listen to while i do other stuff not to watch/read the lyrics lmfao,

[MrsMadison4ever]

wrong album cover. that's the dark light album. why didnt you put up screamworks?

[hotelthehookers]

lo and behold.it's an expression

[lindevolean]

I dont think theyve sold out, Maybe just after 13 years of playing the same spine chillingly dark love songs (which I love ever second of) Ville just wanted to try something different. And then again Ville is sober now so maybe this is just a new happier side of him :) I love it all either way

[AUGUSTOGUS123]

@lindevolean & the songs are 2 cool

[BestDamnNight]

This album is one of their best! :)

[LadyofCastles]

[swissbreu]

[ValoMoon]

thank you sweetheart this is great ;)

[helmsley777]

@MrAmosoy thanks fer uploadin' this version buddy...!!!

[fuckineedanewname]

Ok.. im just pointing this out..

My Cd audio and the Audio I hear on here are completely different..

This one sounds a little higher pitch compared to the cd.. The cd audio ville's vocals are more monotone and deep.. and the music is a little lower as well..

XD Just thought I'd point that out haha XD

other then that Love the new album XD though Dark Light is being used as the album art in the video haha

~*`NN Valo`*~

<333

[HeyItsAjj]

@fuckineedanewname read the description :P

[fuckineedanewname]

@HeyItsAjj I did I was just pointing it out though XD hahaha

I have like madd OCD when it comes to things so it just happens XD

<333

[xXxFaRiHaxXx]

finally not acousic!

THANKS :)

[Lemonadder]

It's not 'Low and behold'. It's LO and behold.

The lo from the expression likely originated from the shortening of the word loke, commonly seen in Middle English texts. The literal meaning of the expression is "look and see", and it is always used as if in the imperative.

[2xZEROx7]

hey, some1 who actually put up the version of the song that isnt acoustic, thank You

[GoneWithSin10]

WoW GREAT!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!^^

[metfan1987]

Some of them are wrong.

[Heidiamandar]

Such a brilliant work! I love Ville's deep voice! :)

[inkatiko]

love this song!!!!<3

[Fildsk8]

well done i love the new album

[CKYGWAR]

your an idiot. why is this the dark light album?

[MrAmosoy]

@CKYGWAR this photo is just one photo of him ..

[AcidSkater2008]

@MrAmosoy Yeah, but it's the Dark Light album art.

[danbaugh88]

@MrAmosoy dont you mean album cover? A picture of HIM would be the picture of the band..

LOL

[TheDeppestink]

@MrAmosoy But, since it's this picture is from another album.. I think besides the insults, CKYGWAR meant that it's confusing. It'd been better SW artwork or any other picture related to the band..

xo!

[CKYGWAR]

@MrAmosoy moron at least put the song to the correct album art

[CKYGWAR]

@MrAmosoy idiot why would you put these lyrics to a dark light album background?

[Badfish5447]

@CKYGWAR i agree

[HeyItsAjj]

@CKYGWAR who cares its still his infernal majesty
