and just for anyone who doesn't know the real unsaid lyric to the song, here it is; "why use the word, when the WORD means to believe" (LOVE) that's what it's meaning. The serpent, siren, double, phoenix are all different factions of a persons personality/evils or goods that the woman is ignoring and just telling people she cares for them when she doesn't. Please thumbs up, so more people can read this!

I can't help but hear: "Why use the word , when the words needs the belief"

[@xSve]

This song, this group, this sound, this emotion.. It makes me writhe in contented contempt. My skin tightens, my blood solidifies, my teeth clench. The voice mesmerizes as if it itself were an instrument. This shit is like the binary code to my soul.

[@triscfs]

The drums and Chris' voice are so bewitching, I just love this song !

[@joanitunes]

[@EmpressOfFools]

ive looked at three lyric sites for this song, three say "when the word means the beast" and the other three say "when the word needs meaning"

[@RafaelYasumura]

I love him...really

[@flicchic8100]

This is my favourite song of the IAMX. Also because of this wonderful Video❤️

[@sbort]

[@K_Reeves]

[@bella-bererochester4076]

Amo al grupo y me fascina esta canción!! Iluminaron mi juventud!

[@BecciBarham1993]

wow that was so good xoxox

[@sfinn85]

There weren't any lyrics in the booklet. I have both versions of 'The Alternative' album and both have just pictures of Chris and liner notes re. production etc.

[@Anarchaism]

@electray This is the hardest thing to distinguish from any song I've ever heard! D: I can't tell if it's "needs the belief" or "means the beast" (since, y'know, that's sort of like being) or. Yeah. 8D;

[@snowgrouse]

You are me and I claim my five pounds. This is absolutely exquisite.

[@musicmaster106]

guys its the DOUBLE says. not the devil says.

[@hebed633]

That's what I hear too.

[@sfinn85]

You have a very good friend. ;-)

[@triscfs]

@Whore4Horror This song is just too beautiful, I can't get sick of it. And Chris Corner is a sooo good artist! I love him!

[@DireClown30309]

Amazing song, amazing video! I have to admit that I'm only a recent IAMX fan, but I'll be one for life! I actually just made a picture show to "Song of Imaginary Beings." It's not quite as good as this, but perhaps if I get inspired again, I'll put together an actual film. Are you a member of "I LOVE IAMX" on Facebook, perhaps?

[@SuperMassiveBlackMag]

i wanna eat him and his band and his songs..argh!!!!he is perfect..why is he soo damn perfect????? (L)

[@electray]

@Anarchaism Apparently I was partly correct. Its not the same for both lines which is partly why its so confusing: Why use the word when the word means the belief? Why use the word when the word needs the belief?

[@fusional]

you do realize how much control chris had over the sneaker pimps' songwriting, yes? that he was one of the two founding members of SP? i will never understand why people say things like this. do you not know that SP decided chris should sing on the second album because his voice was more raw (a word you ironically mention) than kelli's and fitted the music better? no, of course you don't. do some research, guy.

[@holysheet-ij4cy]

Wow, seems like I completely misunderstood the lyrics...

[@AzaliahNocta]

"The Song Of Real Beings" would be more appropriate... just go ask a phoenix, or the doublet, or a serpent.
