15 | !Tropes: |
16 | * BilingualBonus: The chorus of "Santa Muerte" contains the line "''estoy orando por ti''." In Spanish this means I'm praying ''for'' (instead of ''to'') you. |
17 | * DivineDate: "Lucifer, My Love" is a SillyLoveSong about Lucifer. |
18 | * FemmeFatale: "Femme Fatale" (an original song, not a Music/VelvetUnderground cover), ''naturellement'', reflects on the nature of this trope and its demonisation of female sexuality. |
19 | * GratuitousFrench: The final line of "Femme Fatale": |
20 | --> "''Je suis la belle dame sans merci.''" |
21 | * GratuitousSpanish: Appropriately enough for a song about a Mexican folk saint, "Santa Muerte" is peppered with Spanish. |
22 | * HollywoodSatanism: Averted. Where other bands may use Satanism as a gimmick, Twin Temple are genuine Satanists. Their music and religious practices reflect the ideals of Satanism: the transgression of social norms and the embrace of the individual. |
23 | * {{Homage}}: |
24 | ** The drum intro of "Sex Magick" closely resembles [[Music/RonnieSpector "Be My Baby."]] |
25 | ** "Babalon" is an homage to "[[Music/TheBeachBoys Barbara Ann]]", reconceptualised to be about [[Literature/BookOfRevelation the Whore of Babylon]]. |
26 | * HotAsHell: "Satan's a Woman". |
27 | * HotWitch: "Sex Magick", "I Know How to Hex You", "I'm Wicked" and "I Am a Witch" are all songs about being a sexually liberated witch. |
28 | * {{Instrumentals}}: "In Lux" and "In Nox". |
29 | * LouisCypher: In "Satan's A Woman" she says we can call her Lucy. |
30 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted. Many of their songs make reference to menstruation. |
31 | ** "I'm Wicked" opens with the line "I love bleeding/ under the full moon." |
32 | ** "I Am a Witch": "When I bleed/ [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink I put it in your coffee]]." |
33 | ** "Satan's A Woman": "I make my own money/ I make my own blood/ and I always get both on the first of the month." |
34 | * OminousLatinChanting: The chorus of "Ave Satanas!" in "Sex Magick", though the style is less Gregorian chant and more 50s' pop. |
35 | %%* SatanIsGood |
36 | * SexMagic: "Sex Magick" mixes IntercourseWithYou with occult imagery. |
37 | * SpokenWordInMusic: The middle of "Lucifer, My Love" is delivered as love letter to Satan, in the style of |
