| Opeth – Ghost of Perdition Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| In my opinion you shouldn't read too much into the lyrics. Opeth is Swedish and their lyrics might not translate that well to English. Regardless, it is a great song. | |
| Clutch – Bacchanal Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'm seeing other evidence for a male-female idea. puppet...strings - woman controlling man "decades of suppression released in a rage" - makes me think of fucking pull...thrust - sexual again crown...queen - obvious male/female also, since the whole album has religious themes, I'm sure this song does too. at first I was thinking about someone who had wasted his life being puritanical, the "seven deadly sins" and all. "how can I seize the day when it is dusk?" realization of life wasted, leading to a bacchanal - "a wild gathering involving excessive drinking and promiscuity" |

What's the Seven Crowns thing all about? I googled it and it looks like a biblical reference, but was also a gang. But in the song it seems to be a place. Anyone have any idea? |

hmm, overthinking the song maybe goes against the spirit of it? :) (Not to say you have to not interpret 'cause of that -- you don't have to accept it :).) These things she talks about -- the cereal, dog, rocks, fog -- are all direct day-to-day experiences. Contrast that with reading philosophical/religious texts. I'm caught up on "choke me in the shallow water...", because she seems dissatisfied with herself there -- it doesn't fit w/ the rest of the song... |

Indeed, good comment normal=insane. My addition: This song applies to itself for me, as listening to it fills a void until it's over. I'm taken away by it, don't have to be alone with myself. That's true for a lot of songs, of course, but maybe by having it as the *first* song you can say it applies to the whole Mer de Noms CD... |

I thought of a pipe for "painted glass", but nothing specific for stainless steel. So that works with the drug theory. it seems to work for drugs, but I think this pattern in seen in all kinds of ways. |
