| The Mars Volta – Asilos Magdalena Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
oftentimes, especially with the mars volta, you have to look past what the literal translation is, and look at what the connotations behind the lyrics are. Keeping in mind that the song titles translation is "Asylums of Mary Magdalene", look not at what the lyrics are saying but what they're implying When i was born i was afflicted, and to ease my suffering, I became a lady of the streets (prostitute) Don't tell me what to do! I can show you scars that would make you shudder. Where I've been abused and beaten to a point where I could barely breathe. My life was shrouded in darkness When we met that day in the rain, you said you would die for me I'm not going to stay on this path in life I'm shrouded in darkness when we met that day in the rain, you said you would die for me i'm not going to stay this way Now that youre gone, I feel I must protect myself from you How often did you hurt me? And how often did I leave? (You hurt me all the time and I never once left you, how dare you leave me?) I loved you but you've lied to me Life without you is hell, and hell is the only reality My life is shrouded in darkness When we met that day in the rain, you said you would die for me I'm not going to stay on this path in life I'm shrouded in darkness when we met that day in the rain, you said you would die for me i'm not going to stay this way Star of the Morning (Satan) you demon, I'm hunting you And if I die before I redeem myself I'm still dying for you. |

i'm loving this song, especially the end with the "bring me the chain". I'm gonna wait to hear the entire album before I decide what its about though, since the album is supposed to be a concept album |
