I think it's about how the body automatically stops thinking unless you force yourself to think. I think this song means that you waste your time on feelings and should work more on trying to find your purpose. |

It's funny actually. In my personal opinion, this song is more violent and straightforward than some of his older music. Is he starting to just give people what they want? |

It's all about the struggle between good and evil. And yes, I do believe this is based on or was inspired by the Native American myth. Basically, he can either keep giving people what they want. But why should he when they're all terrible? He wonders why he should sin and do bad things just to make people happy. And the people beg and beg and draw him... Where's the meaning of being a rich and famous musician, when the people don't actually listen to the meaning behind the lyrics? He wants to do what the people want, and yet he doesn't, and that's where the struggles lie--he can't resist feeding the bad wolf but he has to stay strong and do what he ultimately believes is right, feeding the good wolf. |

Okay, thought about it for awhile. I like what meus_vox had to say. You can turn almost any song into something religious.
"I wish I knew what you had meant before you went and left me wondering to just an echo of your voice
'Listen...'" and then it continues and in parentheses says "listen - my son" so it is DEFINITELY a song about his father.
"This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it." Is all the fighting really worth it? No, I would think not really. Unless you're defending yourself.
"And now I feel what you felt inside brother " Maybe he's talking about one his fellow soldiers who became his friend? Or maybe an unborn brother. If it's about his friend, his friend could have also said it isn't worth it. If it's about his brother, it's like because he went to war, he never got to experience what it was like to live--just like his brother never experienced life.
"I wish it didn't end this way" I think this is the point at which he is killed. He truly did never get to live, because he had to follow in his father's footsteps. His legacy.
He can't change the fact he has to go to war and battle. His father's wish was for it to be so.
The only part I don't understand is this: "And to the other firstborn, I see the same scene that must play over in your mind and now how much more I'm sure it's fucked with your head just like it's fucked up mine." The other firstborn, huh... Maybe he's talking about another generation. Or maybe his friend was the other firstborn. His friend experienced the same thing as him.
Maybe he watched his friend die, then died himself. Or he never did die and said "I wish it didn't..." because his friend died, and then he felt alone. No dad, no family, no brother, no friend, just blood, gasoline, and death.

Sounds like war to me. I like the "Your God sent us to destroy" bit because it makes it sound like a human's purpose is just to tear each other apart. |

| Blue Stahli – ULTRAnumb Lyrics

It's about being overstimulated by all the great things life has to offer. "You want it all right now!" He sounds angry when he says it, so it sickens him that people can be so greedy and demanding. Like a child wanting all the best toys, he points out that people are the same way with money, power, sex, drugs--the list goes on and on. So many great forms of stimulation. And all at once.
Taking all of that stuff at once will make you "ultranumb," he says. |
