| Death in Vegas – Soul Auctioneer Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I don't think that it has anything to do with drugs. The song has two parts. In the first part describes modern society and the fearmonging clergy. It says that they are the same as the lynch mobs of the past and the crucify Venus (the goddess of lust) making a spectacle out of it. The high priest is the soul auctioneer who surfs on fear and the followers are the necropolis users. Then the journey becomes constantly more difficult because of hands pulling back, ideas that poison the mind and the way that becomes sharper. In the next part of the song is the awakening. He leaves the terminal narcosis realizing that he was blind and there were undetected dangers. But the head (the head of the faith?) is dead, and it is just a blunt needle now, with broken wings and missing its demon (a word play with dear, probably an other reference to fear). Now for him there are marxist "priests" teaching defiance and change through violence (revolution?). |
