No Picture Berenice Average	#1 by Berenice Issaris at Oct 29, 1971 at 9:11 AM EST
	In an interview somewhere I remember Peter explaining, "furry vino tinted slave" as when he's drunk, he feels like all this insides are soft and furry.

No Picture ian Average	#2 by ian mckinly at Nov 12, 1977 at 11:22 AM EST
	i didnt know good songs needed comments...but yea great song

No Picture Ryan Average	#3 by Ryan Noffke at May 20, 1990 at 2:52 PM EST
	Ah, good ol' type o negative. this is a love song of some sort as expected by some lyrics. I'm thinkin it's somethin like he's thinkin of a girl who he was goin out with at a point. I guess they probably loved each other pretty hardcore. And in the end they broke up and she held a grudge against him and he coped with it by thinking about how she hates him and the good times they had. Maybe the burn together thing means their commitment they had for each other. just a shot in the dark on this one though.

No Picture danielle Lead Player	#4 by danielle woodley at Jul 31, 1997 at 7:54 PM EST
	Peter Steele has said in interviews and on stage that he sees himself actually as Bacchus which is further supported by his obligatory bottle of wine at live shows which a friend of mine had hurled at him =P (complete with guiatar string scores down the side of the bottle) That said, I do agree with TsolPhigher about it being a drunk talking to/confiding in Bacchus/the bottle.

No Picture ~Ivy Loves Shav Rhythm Player	#5 by ~Ivy Loves Shavo~ at Feb 15, 1998 at 12:24 PM EST
	Bacchus was the greek god of wine and wine making. He's usually portrayed as a jolly, red-faced... drunk basically, surrounded by his many friends (wood nymphs -- but that's not really important) Knowing that, the title and the first four lines seem to me to represent that the narrator is drunk or desperatly trying to become so, in order to drown his pain. He's actually talking to Bacchus as if he's his only friend.

No Picture Pablo Rhythm Player	#6 by Pablo Muñiz at Dec 17, 2000 at 1:34 PM EST
	I agree with you guys, that seems accurate enough. Man, this song is so amazing, it's sad it only has 4 comments.

No Picture terry Rhythm Player	#7 by terry terry watts at Mar 23, 2005 at 4:42 PM EST
	just to correct TsolPhiger, Bacchus was the Roman god, while Dionysus was his greek counter part, but its ok same thing really
