| Otep – Crooked Spoons Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I've always thought of this song as being a bit of a 'fuck you' to someone, maybe not a religion in general but maybe a particualr person who follows a certain set of beliefs. I think it may be about one person and their depravities, and about drug abuse. Maybe about being subjected, or foreced, to use drugs against her/his will. Im still not sure what kind of perspective shes writing from. 'Venom that slips from your lips' and 'pain in my veins' hints to me at manipulation to use something undesirable. especially after the reference to needles. Love to think about this tune, its over far too soon everytime I listen to it. Going to give a bit more thought! probably going to leave a load of comments here :P feckin love Otep! |

| DevilDriver – Before The Hangman's Noose Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
its most certainly about the inevitable steps towards death that we all make without a choice. But I also think its a song of defiance, to look your hangman in the face and smile. If your going down for doing something your way and not someone elses then do it with pride. Think about it, why are you facing the gallows? obviously for doing something out of sync with the norm... so if you do it and get called up or caught for it, face the noose count to three and take the fall without pussying out. if you did something defiant, be proud of it. if your to blame for something, then take the blame. if you have to face the inevitable, dont try and delay it. everyone has to face death eventually, so dont have regrets when you do. |
