| Otep – Head of Medusa Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Great song, and as much as I love Otep, I have to point out a blazing similarity between this and Slipknot's 'Gently' on the Iowa album. The musical similarities are disconcerting. Anyone else notice this? Otherwise a great song. |

| Amazing song. Pretty self explanatory, though. :D | |

Holy hell these lyrics are TERRIBLE. It's kind of insulting, really. Here's the real lyrics, this time with read-able grammar. My face is horrid and I'm constantly slouching My place is lower so I'm constantly crouching I don't believe it - I saw the man again And he won't hear another word I say I have delusions so I'm constantly shouting I have compulsions so I'm constantly counting I don't believe it - there goes my world again And I don't understand a word I say Just because I'm paranoid it doesn't mean I'm not annoyed and Just because I'm not prepared it doesn't mean I'm not aware The smoke is infinite - I'm constantly panting The truth is imminent - I'm constantly ranting I don't believe it - I took a chance again and People I don't know won't let it go I've got some problems, so I'm constantly bitching I've got some rashes so I'm constantly itching I don't believe it - forgot the pills again I just woke up a million miles from home Oh! Just because I seem sedate it doesn't mean I'm not irate and Just because I'm not immune it doesn't mean I'm scared of you Ooh just - because Just because I'm incomplete it doesn't mean I'm obsolete and Just because I'm out of view it doesn't mean I'm not like you No, not like you! As for the meaning, I view it as more of a rebellion from a misunderstood person's point of view. IMO. |

| The Living End – Staring At The Light Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I kinda agree with Weasel. But to me, it ties in with 'Riot On Broadway', which leads me to believe that the two songs are related. In fact, some parts of Roll On can tie in pretty well, but that's a story for another day. I think that y'know, the riot was crazy and shit, right? So, this person that Cheney's describing died during the riot (Hence the tie in with the ending of Riot On Broadway and Staring At The Light). So, this person is dying or dead and going toward the light (God?), where they will be judged and put into either Heaven or Hell. I'm guessing that Cheney and the band are 'dead', given how Cheney narrates it (you're not alone now). So... yeah. It leaves the verdict unclear and everything, but that's my view on it. (Sorry for the disjointed nature of the analysis, I'm really tired. If anyone cares to clean it up, be my guest and give credit and such.) |

I dunno. It just seems more like a general revolution song to me. I like to replace the lyric 'Your time is borrowed' with 'You'll die tomorrow' for some reason. They both work, but yeah... Every time I listen to it, I imagine this huge revolution going on and the leader about to be overthrown is all 'OH SHITCAKES'. In my head, it's really freakin' cool. |

| Tool – Disgustipated Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Apologies to anyone tnat suggested this or something like it- I haven't read through all the comments. It occurs to me that at face value, the song may be roughly describing how a farmer/pastor kills everyone in his barn/congregation. The opening wackjob sermon, then the rising music under it which swells into a pounding drum beat- he's losing control to his inner nature. I think he does it with a gun, btw; you can hear a gun being cocked right before the big drum hits during the verse after the second pause. Of course, there's the sheep following religion blindly and accepting everything their 'leader' says as truth. Given the ambient noises, the music, and the lyrics, that's my basic theory. It's waaaaay too early for me to go into detail. Anyone else agree and wanna flesh this out? As for the speech at the end, I think it's a second person monologue of the aftermath. The goo may refer to the blood all over him, his head ringing and empty because.. Well, I imagine your head might hurt after a bloody rampage like that. :P The 'immediately taking possession of all he sees' aspect does make sense, so I'm starting to think that he's becoming locked in his insanity at the end of the monologue. It mentions a knife though, but the song seemed to me like he used a gun, so I don't know what that's about. Anyone know? As for the little people, they're little because they're off in the distance and yes, he's probably going to kill them. It's a pretty basic explanation and I'd appreciate it if anyone attempts to flesh it out or correct me (Politely correct me if you're going to. I don't need some retard telling me not to take it at face value. I only put my face value interpretation up because I agree with most of the ones that talk about the deeper meaning.) |
