| The Mars Volta – Agadez Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i looked up agadez on wikipedia. there has been a rebellion going on there for a while, bad enough to where the US isn't letting people go there anymore because it's too dangerous. I think this song has to do with the events that are taking place right now. These lyrics suggest that someone is trying to leave but doesn't sound like they can. | |

i read up on jim jones. crazy stuff! maybe this "goliath" character could mirror jim jones. maybe "goliath's" actions were very similar to jim jones. he seemed like a nice guy at first, but after all is said and done, this guy was just evil. |

| The Mars Volta – Soothsayer Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I was looking up what the congregation of people were saying at the end of the song, and I found a hymn that is used in the Middle East, which is roughly where this CD takes place. The hymn says... "Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours Almighty Father, forever and ever. Amen" I looked further into this, and it said that this was similar to an "anaphora," which in Greek means "carrying up" as in "sacrificing to God". I'm thinking this song has to do with some type of sacrifice because of the hymn at the end of the song. Thank you wikipedia! haha |
