| The Tea Party – Babylon Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
He's in his hell, and this girl is nearing death. "Now that the thrill of the massacre is over Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins I've waited so long" He has (almost) killed her, and this waiting is torturing him so bad, he's starting to lose it. "I roll back the stone just to see What I'm missing Glimpses of grandeur now faced with defeat I've waited so long" Hindsight is 20/20, he wanted this to be a night of sin and pleasure, and now he has a dying woman next to him. "Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading where will you turn when you can't find Your soul I've waited so long" He realized that this life of pleasure he's been leading, has led to his own downfall. "Salvation's at hand, Its a matter of taste dear Lost in ideals you found in the trash I've waited so long" Before people get on a IT'S ABOUT GOD, Jeff Martin is an atheist, and the song A Great Big Lie is about the church. Anywho, He could save himself, and he realizes he should but "It's a matter of taste", he knows his ideals are trash, but he doesn't want to do anything about it... Yet... Pulse, anyone? In the context of a rock opera, the whole album makes a lot more sense... I put an overall plot in the Alarum lyrics. |

| The Tea Party – Transmission Lyrics | 18 years ago |

My favorite song off Transmission. It's just so full of raw anger and power. I think it's about how the things that have happened to us in the past, can prevent us from enjoying the present, and being hopeful about the future |

| The Tea Party – Alarum Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I honestly odn;t know what this song was supposed to mean by itself. But i think that Transmission may have been a rock opera. Temptation - (Intro to the night) Army Ants - (A slight warning of how the night shall end.... confusion) Psychopomp - (She starting to regret what is going on, but he is pressuring her to continue) Gyroscope - (She's in a different world, one that's he's been in before, but she can't cope) Alarum - (Uh-oh) Release - (Coming to the hard decision of what he must do...Call for help and potentially have jail time, or leave her to die) Transmission - (um..... 911... and trying to understand what to do, while fried off his gourd) Babylon - (His and her Temptation has brought them to Babylon.... a bad night... their own created hell) Pulse - (Things get worse.... as he waits for help, she's slipping away into death.) Emerald - (Help arrives, but consiqence is now his problem, as she is off to the hospital, he is relieved, but not in the best way) Aftermath - (Pretty self explanatory, both title and lyrics) |
