| Mastodon – Trainwreck Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think it may be about we can use distractions we use to defy our mortality or come to accept it. | |
| Mastodon – Ol'e Nessie Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
There are a lot of contradictions in this song that I think are really clever. "be mine always here for duration" If you are away from someone, then you can never always be theirs. "times of sailing keep me grounded" If you are sailing, you aren't grounded, and if you are grounded then you can't sail. |

| Mastodon – March of the Fire Ants Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"as passion encircles the daily storm the heart bleeds and droughts do not" I think this is about how people can pour their hearts into something without reward. "bone grave bone engraved stone grave stone engraved" This follows the theme of the first verse by showing the ultimate reward for all our work, death. It's ironic because the person burying you is working over your body, seeing full well what his reward is for his work, knowing that someone will be doing the same for him. "all circles created with intention an ocean turns yellow it soothes the eye" I feel like this refers to Hell, and how in Dante's Inferno all seven circles are created by the intentions of it's inhabitants. An ocean turning yellow could be referring to the lake of sulfur that the damned are cast in. It could be potentially soothing to your eyes, seeing it knowing that your body and soul will never have to work in futility again. |

I particularly like the reference to a linoleum knife. This references *Hannibal Lecter* because he used a linoleum knife to stab Will Graham in Red Dragon |
