| At the Drive-In – Cosmonaut Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Well, if you saw their video live at Big Day Out 01 for this song, they mention the media before they start playing, so it makes a lot more sense to be about censorship than planes. | |
| Between the Buried and Me – Sun of Nothing Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Epic. Fucking. Song. After listening to it and reading it, it seems to be about someone who gives up completely on social interaction, and takes up a completely nihilistic point of view. |

|
Seems to be about a relapse. Mr. Graves.. the whole album concerns drugs. |

| A Perfect Circle – The Outsider Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| And for the one who said "what about the fame in decadence line"... could just be saying that the addict is making himself look like the posterboy for moral decay. (Fame doesn't always mean that you are famous...) | |
| A Perfect Circle – The Outsider Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I don't agree with it being about someone committing suicide.. since that wouldn't really fit the theme of the album. I think this is the addict from the album's friend/relative or whatever telling him that's if he's going to keep using drugs that he should fuck off and stop making excuses, basically. | |
| The Mars Volta – El Ciervo Vulnerado Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| OK, though they said the album was not a connected story, the CD basically seems to be mostly about religion, so it would make sense for this song to be about Jesus considering the name mentions Wounded Shepherd. | |
| The Mars Volta – El Ciervo Vulnerado Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It makes perfect sense to be a wounded shepherd and not a pastor. "I've been drinking black myrrh again The closer we pour I needed to touch your lip With a nail in my arm The night that you cut me Our coven did walk I fell at your mercy I fell in your grave Mecca amputechture It stands in my way The longer I stay An elderly child The longer the myrrh gives birth To the death that I've found" All seem to be references to Jesus, which go along with the song name, especially the nail in my arm line, "the night you cut me", and the myrrh references. In other verses some things I consider Jesus references : " If your kingdom won't come" "If you consume me" (possibly communion?) I cant tie it all together, however I'm guessing someone can. |
