From the band's debut album, Swan Songs, this track seems to be about a girlfriend that has killed herself and left her boyfriend in pain: "It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start it was your knife," "Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest. And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound."
J-Dog of Hollywood Undead explained to Artist Direct why the band wrote a song about a girl who was brutally murdered and cut up: "Anybody who has ever been in a relationship and gone through some f---ed up s--t - like we all have - sometimes wants to kill the other person in the worst way possible. People are just scared to say it. So we did a song about how everyone really feels but doesn't want to say."
Black Dahlia was the journalist sobriquet assigned to Elizabeth Short (July 29, 1924 – January 15, 1947), an American actress who was the victim of a gruesome and much-publicized murder in Los Angeles in 1947. She acquired the nickname Black Dahlia thanks to her black hair and habit of wearing black, and the name was further suggested by Raymond Chandler's The Blue Dahlia, the film of which appeared the previous year. The murder, which remains unsolved, has been the source of several books and film adaptations.
