| Primus – Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i took acid before i ever bought the brown album.before the first verse is done its obvious to me that this song is 100 % about trippin face. if you dont see the connection perhaps you should take some acid and give it another listen(not trying to be a dick). the coolest thing about this song is the time signature. i think its 11/8 | |
| Mastodon – Capillarian Crest Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "capillarian crest could be a reference to the novel "Capillaria" by Frigyes Karinthy, capillaria is an underwater world where large women dominate and eat the brains of small men this place is mentioned in the league of extroardinary gentlemen( the comic book, not movie) this explains the take away the anchor line, but reall i have no clue at all but the technical instumental part of this song is so bizarre and awesome, it just proves the massive musicianship of this band | |

i have an odd take on this song and your all gonna think im an idiot, anyway i see a pretty strong elusion to "oedipus" the greek play where an arrogant tyrant( the fur trapper) goes blind after his arrogance leads on his entire fate without realizing it, just like how the trapper knows of an eskimo legend but still provokes nanook. in the play the kings fate is to now roam the desert for the rest of his life as a blind man , just as the trapper does in the tundra. other than that i think its just a song of advice, the "yellow snow" is whatever impure toxin you want it to be and obviouslsy revenge and anger caused by the snow brings the ruin of the fur trapper as well as nanook |
