| The Mars Volta – Asilos Magdalena Lyrics

I listened to it a couple of times, and I keep hearing 'alas' and 'lodo' too. I translate the last part as:
Star of the Morning, Samael,
I follow you
And if I remain without wings
I die for you as well
The song is great, hope this helps the spanishless... |

"Put your hands up in the air and wave them like you just don't care." A lot of SOAD's lyrics more allude to than name certain things or feelings. Snow White, I totally agree with the feeling you got from these lyrics, but I think it is an intentional attack on Hollywood. How fucking cookie-cutter and cliche. Fucking phonies. |

It cracks me up that so many young ppl don't know who Frankie Avalon is. I think this song is about how Hollywood is a ruin of what it used to be. Back in the 50s HOllywood was THE place to make it big. Almost all movies were shot there, everything was recorded there-- If you were big in film or music in the US, you had to be in Hollywood. Now it's like a has-been great city, where you can see what city was built under the eyes of the whole world but it's nothing like it was--like a sun-bleached pack of marlboros, or like baseball (it's called this nation's pastime, but why does everyone freak out about Monday-night football and the superbowl?) Just a faded 'washed-up' version of its former grand, glittery self. Good set-up for 'Lost in Hollywood' |

Who cares, callyouout? Maybe there should be a disclaimer on every page of this sit reminding ppl like you that a song's meaning doesn't necessarily come from the artist. What the artist intended and what the song means to one personally can be two wholly seperate things, yet both right. If you are right about how the band wrote this song, it can still be a story about a man and his untrusting relationship with a woman who is or was a rape/murder victim. |

This song is about the fakeness of Hollywood and LA, and it is about just getting rid of all the social deadwood with the "BIG ONE" that will supposedly split the San Andreas fault, but I think you guys missed the part at the almost end of the song -- "Don't just call me a pessimist/ Try and read between the lines" I think this means that because (obviously) all the fake people and people concerned with shit that is really meaningless don't all live in California (Like the RHCP song Californication says, "everyone has been there and I don't mean on vacation") but rather it's a state of mind that we all must get away from. Learn To Swim. |

I agree with MeticulousyBland on everything about this song but the seeds: I think the seeds are the seeds of capitalism that we're being fed by society |
