| Otep – Jonestown Tea Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This song is incredible. The way that it leads up to the first climax is so emotional, and then the way that the music is structured during the climax makes your feel her fear, pain, confusion, etc. And the final climax, you really feel her anger. Otep is a genius. I've always thought of the connection with the Jonestown as a way of trying to cover up what's been done. We watched a Jonestown documentary in my History class a while back. He was getting away with molesting and raping people and he had taken most of his followers to Guyana, to escape the people that were beginning to question his leadership in the states. When politicians began to figure out what was happening, Jim Jones gathered them all together and got them all to drink the koolaide and cyanide, as an attempt to cover up everything that he had done to those poor people. In this song, I think it could be her father trying to make her forget all that he had done and to make her trust him again. It's like he's trying to cover up that what he's done is wrong. The follow up to this song, "Where the River Ends" is just as amazing and power as this one. |

| It sounds to me like it's "Vicious cold now settles in" but hey, I could be wrong to. | |
