This song perhaps contains the finest cryptic lyrics that Cedric has written in ATDI. Which is what i think we must remember!!!....that the lyrics are cryptic; they are like jigsaw puzzle pieces that when ALL put together make sense (in their entirety). For those of you who also listen to and for those who prefer THE MARS VOLTA (btw: i congratulate your good taste and recognition that ATDI had to end for THE MARS VOLTA to exist so that Omar and Cedric can make music exactly how they intend to without hinderance from other band members) I am surprised that there has not been the repeated and explicit mention of JULIO VENEGAS - Omar and Cedric's mentor and friend. Even the song by ATDI 'embroglio' talks about him. TMV album 'de-loused' is all about the fictional character Cerpin Taxt (julio venegas) and his journey whilst in a comatoise dream through a fictional world he dreams up (which he awakes from and attempts to return to in 'Take the Veil'. In case you're getting lost, I'll use that MTV interview you lot told people to visit, in which Bixler said. "It deals with a fictional character that represents all of us, and he's dealing with things like culture clash, just being in a new place, being alone for long periods of time, and just being cut off from everything. I think if anyone is confused about things like 'skin graft machinery' just think of the first track off de-loused...'nurse says that my skin will need a graft'. Feeling removed from reality is the whole point in de-loused - Cerpin Taxt can't deal with what's really going on; he keeps doing drugs and removing himself from reality. So when he comes back to reality he doesnt know how to exist, how to be, how to function....maybe like a ONE ARMED SCISSOR????????....(do we get what i'm saying now?) which clearly cannot function properly if it is reduced to half of what it is - like JULIO VENEGAS who felt incomplete in true reality could not function - like the scissor, JULIO VENEGAS being incomplete cannot fulfil any purpose he might have (like one arm of a scissor cannot cut through anything in the way it used to but can only 'cut away' with what remains). This suggestion is the incomplete person can't cut it properly, can't cut through the problems they face, but only cut away from them. I'm interested to see what other people think. And by the way, if my comments sound arrogant, its just because i really dont want anyone to think like the person who said its about pizza.......what a dick, whoever that open-mided person was |
