The Mars Volta – Luciforms Lyrics 14 years ago
I spent a long time looking at this song and realized what it's actually about.
The "death factory is his mind" (Idk who "he" is but let's just go with that).
his severance is owed in the chamber of revolvers. He's going to end this relationship with someone by shooting himself in the head with a gun (revolver)
The "empty jails" is his skull or brains. By shooting himself in the head he is "Shaking the globe" and releasing himself from the pain. Then he says after he's destroyed his brain, then he won't be able to recall his pain for the loss of a loved one.
If heavan breathes, then someone trade places with me. If heavan was real, he wouldn't have to go through this pain.
It's a pretty scary song.
