Gray no petals no introduction
Gray matter for introspection
Water making and breaking seeming fine

Faith no martyr no resolution
Depth of water over our heads in
Breath restricted all suffocation

Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath

A trippy absolute
Eye tripping disease
No resolution
No auto save

Crave it matters
No fixed solution
No path crossed aging desert
Senic fixture and fixing
Wonder why

Goal neglected
Greed for negation
Rights affected
Last stop salvation
World objective equalization

Choice

Decision

No real division

Back burn

System

Faith no martyr no resolution
Depth of water over our heads in
Breath restricted all suffocation

Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath
Breath

A trippy absolute
Eye tripping disease
No resolution
No auto save

    Well...What do you think the title of this song means? Its water, yeah. But he uses the water in this song like some kind of bad thing. You suffocate in water. It can take away your breathing, your concentration, and sometimes your warmth/comfort. Its like the water is some negative void that he doesnt really fear that void so much, but it sure annoying to see it. Hmmm.

    Song Fact

    These are wrong. The entire end portion is omitted, and in one verse some of the lyrics are written as repeats of the earlier portion when they are actually slightly different.

    The correct lyrics are:

    Gray no petals No introduction Gray matter For introspection

    Water making And breaking Seeming fine

    Faith no martyr No resolution Depth of water Over our heads in Breath restricted All suffocation

    Breath breath Breath breath Breath breath Breath

    A trippy absolute Eye tripping disease No resolution No autosave

    Crave it matters No fixed solution No path crossed Aging desert Senic fixture And fixing I wonder why

    Goal neglected Greed for negation Rights affected Last stop salvation World objective Equalization

    Choice Decision No real division Back burn system

    Need to stop!

    Grave, no martyr No resignation Depth of water Over our heads in Breath restricted All suffocation

    Breath breath Breath breath Breath breath A trippy absolute Eye tripping disease No resolution No auto save

    Faith, no martyr No resolution Depth of water Over our heads in Breath restricted All suffocation Goal neglected Greed for negation Rights affected Last stop salvation World objective Equalization

    ^_^ I love this song. Nivek Ogre never ceases to amaze me. Anyway...honestly, I'm not entirely sure what this song is about. That's the beauty about it; the lyrics are so complex.

    i believe that nivek, when writing lyrics, has a certain feeling he wishes to relay to his listeners... that being said, and this being the first song under the OhGr project... i believe he had the feeling of "another song that i wont get recognized for" = grey no petals no introduction... and then goes off into a tangent of how he feels inside... as a surreal artist i often just have a general idea i want to relay and then let the lines flow... letting the art do the talking and not what im actually trying to say... lol if that makes sense

    I think this song, in short, is about man's destructive nature towards nature and the troubles it has put us in

    gray no petals no introduction gray matter for introspection water making and breaking seeming fine

    ^ introducing the begning of earth and the nature of existence. there is simply dirt and water (water making and breaking) , "gray matter" being not black (negative) or white (positive), it just simply IS. this is before man comes into the equation (seeming fine).

    faith no martyr no resolution depth of water over our heads in breath restricted all suffocation breath

    ^ Man's faith in his will and everything (desire, religion...) has corrupted into ultimately a form of destruction. No one is willing to die for a greater cause (no martyr). This may also be a reference to Jesus in that man's faith in christianity is faulty because christ did not condem himself. ANYWAYS, man's nature has now brought violence and the creations of man have not progressed him, but actually put us back in that with more possesions and ideas comes more conflict between them.

    a trippy absolute eye tripping disease no resolution no auto save

    ^ This describes the apocalypse in that no one actually wants to fathom that our natural ways of operation will bring about our oblivion. regaurdless of good, bad, wrong, or right, it doesnt matter. We will eventually evolve to a point of complete extinction. There is no way back (no auto save)

    crave it matters no fixed solution no path crossed aging desert scenic fixture and fixing wonder why

    ^ I think this is talking about how people should pull their heads out of their asses now and change before things become too late.

    goal neglected greed for negation rights affected last stop salvation world objective equalization

    ^ This part makes the most sense to my interpretation of the song. We have neglected our actual conscienceness to our desires and just wanted to take and take from the world which has slowly lead us considerably down hill. Before the moment of despair we will try to change things but it will be too late. 'World objective equalization' i think is a reference to the domestication process of humans in where we try to destroy the uncertanties of life and find balance which has helped lead to our demise.

    I was very inspired by ohGr they've given me alot of ideas for my paintings. This song in paticular really didn't sink in untill I was at the dock's and I was listening to this song I looked down into the sea and I saw this frog. It was looking around but not at me. Kinda of oblivous to my exsitence. It gave me this idea of this strange underwater world like another part of the world you would never understand.It's hard to explain the meaning of this song but if you seen the painting I finished you would understand the perspective I am trying to express if you would like to see this or maybe my ohter paintings email me at princetarble@yahoo.com

    These are absolutely the most idiotic comments explaining a song I've ever heard.And don't tell me "its open to interpretation" because that means the artist's message never was understood. The comments are obviously 15-25 yr old brainless children of today's technology age who are machines themselves.People who know anything about Skinny Puppy or just industrial music in general,know that most of the lyrics all talk about the programmed,dead minds of christians and how the THEIR souls are the ones who are truly damned and the herd mentality of society in believing whatever the government tells them without question.How the jews are bringing communism under one world government,assimilating all people together and how mindless,weak people are going along with it allowing themselves to be enslaved or destroyed.The underlying message is that we must wake up and resist.

    Gray matter no petals=an unaware brain/mind Gray matter for introspection=a brains function is to think Goal neglected Greed for negation=people who only care about money and are have no deeper spiritual desire. Rights affected=communist one world government Last stop salvation=the end goal of the jewish nwo is christian programming humanity. World objective equalization=everything I stated above⬆️

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
