House of 1000 Corpses (Rob Zombie) - Requiem for a Nightmare

A video set the Rob Zombie song "House of 1000 Corpses".
<P>
What this video ultimately means to me is the figurative death of my former self. It is a life I lived, whose path led only to ruin. It is a declaration that I have died to that life, and intend to live a life that allows me to receive my share of the abundance that the infinite power of the universe waits to provide for everyone.

It also represents my hope and intention that my friends (the people I love) will die to that life as well. It is my statement of faith that I know and believe that the creator of everything is making this a reality.

I made the video as graphic as I could handle (we live in a very graphic world nowadays) so that it would evoke an emotional response from whoever watches it. However, none of the images depicting death or cannibalism were real. That is why they flash by so quick - so people won't have the time to see how fake they are.

What I am hoping for is that the reactions people have of the video will reveal a portion of their true nature. Those who celebrate and love partying and carrying on will believe it glorifies that kind of behavior and like the video for that reason. Those who hate the behavior depicted in the video will hate it. It also follows that those who partake in thoughts of death and the macabre will believe the video espouses and represents the same thoughts and emotions they have regarding our mortality. Everyone should have a different emotional response.

But to me, the creator of the video, it means that I leave that life in the past. I no longer intend to participate in that kind of life. I have ultimately given it a death sentence and ended that life forever. I am no longer that person, and I never intend to walk that path again. It serves me as a reminder that I was dead to the reality of who I really am, and I have since died to the life I thought I wanted and needed.

House of 1000 Corpses by Rob Zombie (Lyrics)

She got a corpse under her bed
She had her fun but now he's dead
Her momma said come feed desire
Her brother said hey, throw him on the fire

This is the house - come on in
This is the house - built on sin
This is the house - nobody lives
This is the house - you get what you give
Yeah yeah

I cut the flesh and make it bleed
Fresh skin is what I need
I let it dry out in the wood
And all your crying did no good, yeah

This is the house - come on in
This is the house - built on sin
This is the house - nobody lives
This is the house - you get what you give
Yeah yeah

Now you're lying on the floor
Yeah, you ca'nt take anymore
The Devil's laughing in your face
Give me another taste, yeah
