(sorry strawberry, didn't intend to make that a direct reply.) Burning building, you are almost correct. He says 'this ship...' but he does cap it off with 'life.' This ship life makes complete sense I've re-listened through damn good headphones, and there is a faint (but present) emphasis on a 'p.' And strawberryandre, alot of this album is about the Earth and us fucking it over, not hallucinogenics (In this track I can't find much of a reference to the earth itself, but pay attention in their other tracks, as it is a blatantly repeated theme.) And I have done shrooms and acid, but what you wrote makes no sense what-so-ever. grelsscz was completely correct (aside from the 'this shit life') on the lyrics. To the point, a lot of it can also be describing various forms of people. This song implies partial paranoid schizophrenia to me - the belief that there is always something out to get you, the belief that you are inexplicably seeing things others are not for a reason. 'Jabberwocky' itself contains reference to many mythical and coherently frightening creatures, which is where the name found root it seems. Also, burningbuilding, your translation is pretty understandable as well. |

| Fear Before – A Brief Tutorial In Bachanalia Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I'm pretty sure that like before the last one is 'To yourself, you did this to yourself old man.' And as implied by the history of the title, it's probably about an alcoholic. One of those old classic 'drunk all the time' kinds. Hates himself, probably for the same reason he depends on the alcohol. Seems as though he could also suffering from a case of alcoholic dementia, as shown by the repetition (I won't move if you won't move, and I won't move if you won't move) but that could just be how Fear wanted to orchestrate it. Right now, he appears to be entering a phase of self-negotiation. The last line essentially implies (to me) that he did not end his life, but that his life will ultimately end as such - lonely, depressed, lost, ambitionless. Also, he seems to enjoy sex with strangers quite frequently. |
