This song is amazing and to hear the soft tone of otep shamaya i can really hear the emotion bleeding through the song. I feel this song explains how there is no real significance of when a girl becomes a woman. in many cultures it's sealed with a celebration, a marriage and even unrealistic things like circumcision. In life i guess you could say it's up to the you, the female, to figure out when you've become a woman. Is it something physical that has effected you emotionally, or is it taking some sort of responsibility that will impact you for the rest of your life. It is hard to choose because sometimes some people do not recieve a choice. That is why becoming a woman is not always the best thing if you were not ready to leave your childhood. Becoming a woman is supposed to mean freedom, taking on the world with charge, and feeling satisfied with what you've accomplished... that is why this song speaks to so many people. It speaks of the negative ways to become a woman. I love all your replies. Otep Shamaya is amazing and a great poet. |

i find otep's way of expressing her protest against the religious society totally fine. I am a catholic and many Jesus freaks tell me that this music is corrupting our lives....ha. The words of otep have taught me a lot about the freedom of expression and the women's ideals based on beauty and thought. This song itself talks about how religion consumes your life like a drug. you will do anything for it and it becomes your whole life. Im saying that there is a way to balance religion and personal life. Dont let it consume you because all voices in different religions have an opinion. We all sin and are not perfect beings! Yes i believe in GOD and pray every night, but im not preaching to the world what is right and wrong! |
