Depeche mode - Corrupt
I could corrupt you in a heartbeat
You think you’re so special
Think you’re so sweet
What are you trying
Don’t even tempt me
Soon you’ll be crying
And wishing you’d dreamt me
You’ll be calling out my name
When you need someone to blame
I could corrupt you it would be easy
Watching you suffer
Girl, it would please me
But I wouldn’t touch you
With my little finger
I know it would crush you
My memory would linger
You’d be crying out in pain
Begging me to play my games
I could corrupt you it would be ugly
They could sedate you
But what good would drugs be?
But I wouldn’t touch you
Put my hands on your hips
It would be too much to
Place my lips on your lips
You’d be calling out my name
Begging me to play my games
You’ll be calling all my names
Begging me to play my games
Depeche mode made a clip from “Corrupt” with True Blood. I thought the lyric suits perfectly. And better: on second season we thought this was about Eric, but this song is about Bill. If you watch the trailer you see Bill lurking around Sookie.
People thought this song was about Eric?
“We thought”? Aw, no sisterman, speak for yourself. This rabid bitch always knew this was about Bill. A sadistic creeper controls and tortures a girl he’s disgusted by, and makes her ask for it, all for funsies? That’s the national anthem of Comptontinople.
But seriously, at one point in this promo (or some version of it, there are a couple), Sookie is pushing Bill away, struggling with him, he twists her arm behind her back, throws her to the ground, bites her, and then she lies there like a corpse. How could anyone think this song about sadism, control, and mindfuckery was about Eric, when all he did was swagger in like a boss and win a staring contest with Bill?
For that matter, how could anyone get past the fist scene in ‘Mine’, and not realize Bill was a Villain? I went into True Blood completely blind, never read the books or heard anything about either except that the show was awesome and had a sparkly gay man named Lafayette in it. And I knew by that scene with the Monroe vamps that Bill= Bad Bad RUN YOU IN DANGER GIRL. Don’t get me wrong, I thought he was creepy and suspicious before that, that scene just nailed my suspicion to the church door. And then by that scene in ‘Sparks Fly Out’, where Bill is in the church kitchen alone, undrunk bottle of True Blood next to him, just staring at nothing like it owes him money, was the notary stamp and glitter-pen signature on my Thesis On Bill Compton’s Status As A Creepy Sadistic Weirdo Who Is Not To Be Trusted.
