I like how Sketchy described interpretation of this song. I think the 1000 children of death is referred to children like her (ever heard Jonestown tea?) the children who will never find their place, sense of belonging 'We're in between, on a fence, nondescript antagonists' And comparing from Seraphim!to Nephilim!to exodus! is telling about her fall, she was once "made of glass" before "she cracked"- from happiness while she was smaller to pain and suffering while she was starting to be teen. This song is definitely about rage and revenge by my opinion, mostly addressed towards her father whom abused her-and that someday she will be avenged "YOU WILL KNOW ME BY THE SCARS I BARE" I think her songs are very undefined and can be interpreted in many ways, not knowing for sure (without asking her)what the point is - she only gives us guides and directions-not denying or confirming anything. Otep is a very mysterious towards her past and present and she tends to keep us that way - always to looking for answers and never to be answered. Like eternal Ahasver |

I'm sorry but, I'll have to disagree.I don't think that song is about abortion... It's about her memories where she remembers the abuse (you know where I'm fragile, you know how to kill) and injecting herself drugs to make her forget the pain. In all cases the victim/survivor of abuse think they will to be blamed (which is implanted by their abusers) so they keep their suffering bottled up, not telling anyone in fear that anyone wouldn't believe them. So surrounding isn't much of a help too. And the abuse makes you numb,all mixed with shame living in guilt and going through all that alone. |
