This is where Al snaps. (I'm not sure if he killed before, though he did have a gun. Maybe he was just gun-obsessed before, and this is the final straw that set him killing). "panic stirred me awakened by a ringing phone in time" Claudio has called Newo--I believe, don't ask how he got the number or anything. No idea. The ringing wakes Al from his sleep "where and when would I see her?" As soon as he wakes, he is thinking of her. He is madly obsessed--they were most likely sleeping next to one another, and she snuck away or something, so he didn't see her and freaked. "Crazy were the words that scribbled out your mouth" This is Newo talking to Claudio, telling him that this dude is seriously crazy, and she needs to get away how afraid she is and whatnot. "I stuttered replacing your face to those words" When Al hears this, he is aghast. Like "I can't believe it...not Newo...she couldn't have....now...I'm so MAD!" "where and when would I kill her?" So then, he's going to kill her, because he is SO pissed and angry, he can't believe that she is doing that, saying those things. In Al's mind, Newo is on the phone, gossiping and laughing ("Now I'm the laughing stock of your joke"), like "omg, guess what, al's nuts, haha!" Al truly thought that he had a relationship with Newo, and was completley infatuated. Now he is infuriated, and so very hurt. "write this down in the diary you abuse can we make plans can I just get throught to you is this weird...do I scare her? I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this I wish...that you could share the love you'd shared with others, with me" Apparently Newo had a diary that she was always writing in, that he's pissed about, like "Yeah, write down more crap about me in there!" I think that he's yelling at her now, though I don't think he was the entire time. More so in his head. He just wants her to love him. I think when he mentions plans, he's thinking of a way to fix things. And "is this weird...do I scare her?" he doesn't understand why she's looking at him that way--I'm guessing she's looking at him like "wtf, im afraid" and backing away and whatnot. And Al's like, screw it, you're a hoe, I hate you, you're not worth anything. " this isn't love so forever let it go...forever will it burn " this is the final rejection. Let it burn, go to hell. You're dead to me. I'm not sure when Newo gets out w/ Claudio, probably at the end of this song, but maybe the start of another. I'm pretty sure that Al is in the midst of a mental collapse, probably throwing crap around the ship screaming "I wish I would never hurt again!" giving Newo time to get away |

| Also, I think the only reason she had sex w/ him (and most likely told him that she loved him, "With all the words you say...you'll save", or something along the lines of liking him/wanting him) was to save her life | |

I really don't think that Al is raping Newo in this song, though I believe that there is some element of sex. Al is nuts, and he's the type of dude that would be weirdly obsessed with his gun. Through most of the song, I think it's him talking to his gun. "With my wanting just to hold your neck in my arms and feel me squeeze No I'm not going to give you what you want so if you please" His gun is "wanting" to shoot Newo in this part, this is what I see, but part of Al is sort of loving this girl, and he really doesn't want to. All of the touching and what not is to the gun. Newo is WAY more than freaked out (did somebody take your tongue) She's terrified to speak. I'd been freaked if I was kidnapped (I believe that she was kidnapped in the song Three Evils, right before the Crowing. That is where Claudio is told that he's the Crowing, and then in Blood Red Summer, what did I do to deserve this--But THEN realizes that Newo has been kidnapped and is kind of "OH HELL NO!"--if you get my point, and starts kicking a**) and given to a weirdo. So yeah, Al isn't raping her. I sort of think that there is sex though, thus sealing off the whole love thing. Where is says "The shift as you stretch your legs You were so well behaved You were so well Who taught these tricks that make...you were so well behaved" Like, who taught you those tricks in bed, you were such an innocent chic? And then, because he's crazy, he then says goodnight not only to his "love" (which might have, at the beginning, also refered to his gun) but also to his gun. Remember, "Good eye, sniper" in A Favor House Atlantic. Al shoots people. He really loves his gun. |
