This song is most probably based on the story of Hindu mythology about ""Siva's"" havoc,rage,his creative and destructive ability,<br /> which all the the gods were unable to:<br /> face,contain or fight, which he unvieled on the world, his unstoppable righteous anger, when a pure person,<br /> His worshipper and lover named "sati" who he was going to marry, died by jumping in fire of a ceremony established by her father, because of the shame which her father threw on her by <br /> disregarding Shiva (SIVA) as an acceptable groom for sati for his "Wicked Way of Lifestyle".<br /> <br /> When Siva (or Shiva) came to know that SATI had died by jumping in a prayer fire, ceremonied by her father the following incidents happened in which Many mighty gods were BULLIED by siva's rage:<br /> <br /> (taken from wikipedia:Virabhadra)(siva's angry avatar)(angry avatars of shiva are called "rudras" and their are 11 of them)<br /> <br /> Shiva came to know about this and with deep sorrow and anger, plucked a lock of hair and thrashed on the ground. Lord Veerabhadra,<br /> and Rudrakali was born. Virabhadra's believed to be the """Destroyer of Ajnana (ignorance or absence of knowledge)""", his tall body reached the high heavens,<br /> he was dark as the clouds, three burning eyes, and fiery hair; he wore a garland of skulls and carried terrible weapons.<br /> <br /> Siva also orders Veerabhadra not to fear the Brahmans(holy men) as Virabhadra was part of his very self.<br /> <br /> Lyrics interpretation:<br /> <br /> I spin off and lose my head <br /> Throwing stray a spark instead <br /> Gather strength down in my heel <br /> And dig it in the world I peel <br /> ..................<br /> ;;;;>shiva digging his lock of hair in the earth with deep sorrow and anger (probably caved in the earth with his heel)<br /> ..................<br /> Way down deep within my heart <br /> Lies a soul that's torn apart <br /> ..........................................<br /> ;;;;;>sorrow for sati's self mortification as she was a pure soul and his doubtless lover<br /> ..........................................<br /> Tell me, tell me what you're after <br /> I just want to get there faster <br /> .........................................<br /> ;;;;;>siva questioning daksha (sati's father) in his angry mind for his humanly greed which shiva can't understand and don't want to as he is innocent and angry angry<br /> .........................................<br /> I don't live - I inhale <br /> I don't give - I unveil <br /> Don't want to live in your misery <br /> I don't live - I inhale <br /> .........................................<br /> ;;;;;;>shiva telling the truth about himself: that he is an angry meditator (inhaling-breathing fast) because of daksha,<br /> and now he will unveil this truth for the earth and gods to see<br /> .........................................<br /> Sprinkle all my kisses on your head <br /> Stars full of wishes fill our beds <br /> She said, "I'm dead" <br /> ........................................<br /> ;;;;;>siva thinking about sati and how they would have wed but now she is dead<br /> ........................................<br /> All this pain smothers me <br /> Like a bomb that you can't see <br /> Tell me, tell me what you're after <br /> I just want to get there faster <br /> .........................................<br /> ;;;;;;>the pain smother and disturbs siva's breathing.....despite of this he cant't forget his breathing meditation and be like a bomb with all this pain,<br /> and so be it for all the gods and realms to see and so they will have to face his unstoppable wrath<br /> ........................................<br /> ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;<br /> During the spoiling and destruction of Daksha's ceremony gods were bullied by Siva, rudrakali(Avatar of shiva) and the Veerabhadra and Virabhadra(avatar of shiva) cuts off Daksha's (sati's father) head;;<br /> ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;<br /> ................................:::;----lllll<br /> COMPROMISE WITH SHIVA (taken from wiki)<br /> <br /> After the destruction of Daksha's sacrifice, the defeated gods sought Brahma and asked his counsel.<br /> Brahma advised the gods to make their peace with Shiva.<br /> Brahma himself went with them to Mount Kailash. Brahma prayed to lord Shiva to pardon Daksha and to mend the broken limbs of gods and rishis.<br /> The compassionate lord (Shiva) took pity on Daksha and restored the burnt head of Daksha with that of a goat's head (now he is a great devotee of siva)......<br /> <br /> ....................................::::::----lllll<br /> <br /> siva is called by many names one of which is "bhola" meaning the innocent one, despite of his mightiest destructive power,<br /> as he is eternally righteous and an avenger of his worshippers, and so the wrong doers can never escape his wrath even if they run from him for eternity he will chase them and put them to justice of dharma<br /> <br /> he is one of the mightiest hindu gods of the hindu holy trinity among Brahma and Vishnu.<br /> Brahma is all knowing and kind hearted.......<br /> vishnu is protecter of the universe and one of his angry-cruel avatar is "Narsimha"(story of narsimha is really epic 2-that's why i guess pumpkins also like siva) who is the protector of his innocent worshippers,<br /> and shiva is the powerful destructive force and these three are eternal friends<br /> <br /> i am a pumpkins fan and from india, so it gives me a great pleasure to enlighten my friends with this, thats why i wrote so much to make it clear<br /> and ofcourse this is just my opinion and iterpretation ;),,,<br /> will be watching game of thrones later goodbye :)<br /> <br />
