| Kalmah – Burbot's Revenge Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Well true it is about fish, but not too sure if there is any grand story about struggle against nature. But as Kalmah has had some folk tradition influensing their lyrics, i just could say one thing. Animals used to be seen as more than just animals before the age of education kicked in. Some animals were dead humans. And some had different spirits in them. Don't know of burbot, if there are some folk tradition beliefs of that animal, but there are many exsamples. So it maeby is about some folklore about burbot. It is quite unique fish so it most likely has had some beliefs about it. Such "lore" can be quite localized too. I don't remember anything about burbots. Fisher man pulls net up, its broken and that must be work of damn burbot. You know, that way. Or then it just is simply about fish. But i put my bet on the folklore side. |

Would add a bit more about their "christian values" If look same album and just skip one more song forward to Mindrust. Ain't it just about that, how dying man realises that the life was there. And all there is, is that life. No kindom coming... Only ashes remain under our names. "The lesson of life we all have to die" And that is the lesson he must learn. To me that songs message is quite clear. No afterlife, and well that is against all that christianity is about. |

Their songs don't actualy have christian values too much in them. They have christian stuff in them yes, but often the point of view is very critical. And this song too i actualy think is just from that point of view. As it quite clearly comperes belief to fantasy and dream that people choose to believe instead of the world of today. |

Well it is about escaping the hard real world into world of fantasy and delusion. Is that fantasy god and chritian faith or pink dragons, doesn't really matter. As it doesn't really effect the meaning. Judging by the fact that religious connections can be found in many kalmah songs, it might be that. But bottom line is, guy ain't able to face the world of today. "the scene is getting darker in everything I own So I will dive into dreamworld Hey, now I´m saved From the world today I´ve found my way To get away" Escapism. But then one thing points strongly towards chritian delusion. "End -it is nothing Cause I have sworn my oath" Christians have this belief that they are immortals "will to be blind that we all have to die". Anyway, it is about man that is too weak to handle world as it is. |
