This is exactly what I've always thought, too. I think there are a lot of things going on in this song but the lines you specifically quote I think refer to religious guilt regarding sexuality. I am not religious now, but I was when I was a huge fan of Live and this song was my favorite for exactly that reason. |

Back when this song was still in heavy rotation on the radio, I was driving in my car and one single line caught my ear: My planets call me to the void of my birth. I had heard the song many times before but never paid any attention to the lyrics or care what it meant. But in that moment, when I heard that one line, I realized: this song is about a guy wanting to have sex with his own mother. The entire song is a mixing of imagery of sex and motherhood with a vague science-fiction narrative. But that one line clinches it: My planets (his balls) call me to (make him lust for) the void of my birth (his mother's vagina). Space Lord Motherfucker! |

Oh, and BTW. David Draiman is Jewish, or at least was raised in an Jewish Orthodox family. The "Out of Zion shall come forth the law..." verse is also found in the book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. |

It's amusing to me to see the different interperetations of this song that fly directly in the face of the overriding theme. Liberate your mind. It's intentionally left vague so that it could apply to both pro and anti-religious people. Either point of view could be called narrow-minded, can and DOES breed hatred.
Most songs of this sort can be summed up with one phrase: Live and let live. |
