could this song be about a guy who comitted suicide? blood flow, flesh and steel one (bullet in his head?) final act, meant to clinch the argument that nothing comes from violence, in other words, his final act confirms that nothing comes from violence - if you see suicide as violence too - after all the guy's dead. couldn't say anything about the angry star thing. But I think Karinan is right. |

hej there, can't say much about the meaning, but I noticed a few things that made me think of Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West, and since there is also a track on the album named after this movie, maybe it has to do something with it... I have to say it is not very convincing, but I'll give it a try. so here it goes. 'He take up a glass He swallow it neat He crosses the floor He open the door He take a sniff of the street' that reminds me of the movie, when Harmonica and Frank are in the saloon, discussing Frank's offer about the railway station. Frank offers Harmonica one dollar more than Harmonica payed for it (you have the right to make profit too). Harmonica buys a drink and drinks it. Then he walks to the door, and stands with his arms on the door, looking to the street outside. (when he comes back, he asks the wailer how much, he says 'one dollar', Harmonica takes Franks dollar and throws it in the glass before walking away - I love that part :) ) 'But he climbs on his horse You know he feels no remorse He just kicks it alive His motor is fine He take it over the line Until he’s ready to dive' made me think of Cheyenne at the end of the movie. He and Harmonica ride away on their horses, his motor is fine referring to Cheyenne's body - actually it's not fine of course; when he is out of sight he falls from his horse (until he's ready to dive) and dies. well, I do think this song is about a motorcyclist, but Mark Knopfler might have put this in as a reference to the movie... |

hej goodlikesweeper, I think you could be right, especially because i think The Creator has a Mastertape and Trains are about west too. You could check my comments on songmeanings if you like... bunch of loose ends, but it seems to me that Fred West could be an important character on this album... |

Hej, You guys analized this song well, so I don't think I can ad much. I don't know much about PT either, but I had an idea about this song... maybe it helps. What if this song is about Fred West? You might have seen that the song Strip the Soul seems to be about him (check it on songmeanings) and my thought was that The Creator has a Mastertape is about him too (as you can see on songmeanings too). The line that gave me this idea was "You're tying me up". Fred West was known for tying his victims up... And I know there are probably thousands of other sick rapists who do that, but since those other two songs (the first one I'm pretty sure about) seem to be about West too, I considered it a possibillity... My interpretation would then be that the main character of the song was sexualy abused, probably by his cousin - he doesn't like it, but because he adores him too, he says "I'm dying of love" so "It's OK". Isn't that what you hear in a lot of child abuse cases - the children don't like the abuse, but on the other side, they do love their daddy or whoever does it to them. That, together with embarrasment of course, makes them not telling it to anyone... Or so I heard. And don't you hear often that serial killers and rapist and other sick people take over the behavior of people who have abused them? So when the main character is tied up and raped, that may be something he takes over. Note that there is a line in Strip the Soul that says 'Raise the kids good, beat the kids good and tie them up', a line that is considered something that the main character of Strip the Soul (probably West) says. That way, the song would somehow explain how a troubled boy who was abused himself could become a monstrous killer, like Fred West. Only thing is, Fred West might have been in a family where incest was common, he was abused by his father, not by his cousin as far as I know. I don't know if this is very likely at all, just an idea... And I'm sorry about my English; it's not my native language. |

Some interesting solutions over here. However, I have another idea about the song. As you might have noticed, the song 'Strip the Soul' from the In Absentia album seems to be about the serial killer Fred West (check the song on songmeanings and http://www.newcriminologist.com/article.asp?cid=102&nid=18, you'll see it's a serious possibility). I think this song is about Fred West too, or maybe even the whole album; most people think IA is about a serial killer. 'He captured and collected things And he put them in a shed He raised a proper family So he could tie them to a bed' Fred West was known for taking a part of each of his victims away, though nobody knows where he kept these trophies. He was also known for abusing his family, and West tied all his victims down - it gave him some sort of sick feeling of power he liked. 'He worked himself into the ground' Fred used his cellar for his disgusting and sick deeds and later, he also used it as a bedroom for his son. 'And drove a spike into his head' Not completely sure about this, but I think it has something to do with an accident Fred had - he once tried to 'get' a girl on a fire escape stairway and he fell on his head. It is said that after this accident, he became more unpredictable. BTK would be possible too... can't work out the chorus and last lines, but since there was another song on the album that was probably about Fred West, i thought this one just might be about him too. Sorry about my English; it's not my native language. Greetings, Robert |
