it could be about facades terracotta is a clay used for creating pleasing facades on houses/structures the whores with bad feet could be pretty structures, or elements in our society which are unstable... they are eye candy so we easily learn defeat from them to treat the feet, we must beat the meat - thinking for ourselves so to speak instead of being told whats right or maybe not : P |

| At the Drive-In – Proximus Centauri Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
'E Tu Brute unfolding, under the breath, under the fall' A reference to Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar,' where the title character is killed by multiple stabbings, one of the culprits is revealed by Julius, in which he says 'and you too, Brutus.' Although i've never read the play, Brutus was supposively thought to be a great friend of his. This could mean that in our world of new age Emperors attempting to gain global dominance, and even that of space and the universe, there are betrayals towards nations once thought to be friendly. A general example of this could be First World Nations reaping all the resources from Developing countries in order for their own economical and technological gain. |

| At the Drive-In – Incetardis Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
At the Drive-In tend to sing about inhumane acts against minorities, specifically around the U.S. and Mexican border. This song may refer to Republican Ideologies, to those who are power hungry, creating consequences for the lives of the people they have control over. This song pictures them as 'carnivores,' creating a rash of sorts among societies. The Biblical reference in 'Sodom and Gomorrah,' refers to two of many towns that were destroyed by God because of they're homosexual behaviour. Hence where the word 'Sodomy' originated. This song may suggest that everyday there are these 'Godlike' politicians, judges etc... who destroy a community or a minorities efforts towards a peaceful living. In recent news for example, all the controversy dealing with Gay marriage, or rights and opportunities for minorities such as Latinos. 'Quartets for the heir to the throne,' may refer to this inhumanity being projected in a continuing cycle. For example, President Bush's re-election, or the fact he is sort of a 'heir to the throne' in his father's eyes. 'Instincts with Imprinted Cryptic Code,' could be alluding to current gains certain powers are making on systematically organizing groups. Observing their 'instincts' in order to know what to advertise to them, or promise them in return for their subordination. |

| Pearl Jam – Faithfull Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I believe this song is trying to say simply that we all may have faith in something intangible, but our priority should be faith in life around us, as in taking care of it; the environment, family, friends, less fortunate. | |
| I Mother Earth – Gargantua Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Based on the book by French writer Rabelais in 1534, it was a satirical romance about a peace-loving giant noted for his enormous appetite. I think this is sort of a fantastical escape song, being rid of a world full of 'porcelain Elvis heads and Gamma rays,' and joining the peaceful loving Gargantua. Blue Green Orange seems to tread a lot on the desire or need to be selfless, as in the line 'if you look around at all you might feel small where the soul lives.' There are other points in the album where Christian Tanna (the lyric writer/drummer,) speaks of feeling 'small' and living in peace. |
