Clutch – (In The Wake Of) The Swollen Goat Lyrics 15 years ago
I originally thought it was about MMJ dispensaries getting raided in Calif. They did use blackwater mercs for a few raids. Dunno why they think tax-paying dispensaries would need guns to protect against the authorities...?

Only one part of the song fits this theory though.
Bury your treasure (bury the pot so cops don't find it)
Burn your crops (obvious)
Blackwater rising and it aint going to stop (blackwaters coming)

So must be clutches internal story which I previously did not know about...

Static-X – Burn To Burn Lyrics 16 years ago
My intepretation is that it is about cannabis. Some parts don't fit but some parts do.

"you plant the seed
you fill the need " - this parts obvious fill the need for.. weed

"we give to take" - give life to the plant/earth to take it again at maturity

"our eyes
they burn
sensing the feel
feeling the real" - sound like he's feeling the effects of smoking it

"burn to burn
the seed we sow
burn to flow
into the sorrow
burn to burn
the seed we sow
burn to grow
into the sorrow" - sowing the seeds, burn to get into the flow, burning all this stuff so have to grow some more..? Not sure about the sorrow part?

"I'm staring deep
I'm staring bleak
I search in vain
Your flower gr(?)ows
Your mother knows" - maybe he's high looking for his patch and can't find it. The flower (the part of the plant you smoke) grows (could be grows?). Your mother knows - fear of being caught?

"as winter comes
as time passes
we forget the
static in sound" - the plants die in winter if its cold, so supplies run low?

"static in sound
delusional" - delusional... been smoking. Static in sound might refer to the weird stuff you hear when high

"our hands
they learn" - learn to use, grow?

I dunno maybe not...
