"I am whore, holy, loved, lonely Murdering the others i have been" *A conridiction of self. She is more than she appears? Not just the sinner they all assume. "I am barren, fruitful, bored but really useful A sinner seeking manic martyrdom" *Seeking something worth while? "The devil may care but i don't" *The devil cares what you do, wishing you to Hell, but she doesn't do it for that rather than herself? "I'm insignificant, i'm shiny & unique I'm a freak, i'm a fuck-up, i'm suffering" *Without something to put herself into she's falling apart with no purpose.. "Prick the skin Push it in Nothing will be wasted" *Of her sacrifice nothing will be wasted? "All my hate All my faith The cloak becomes sacred" *The cloak a blinding purpose? "Bred for the slaughter The march of the martyrs" *She was meant to do wrong to save others? Prehaps it's something other people can't do without punishment but to save something about their world or lives it must be done and she sacrifices herself to do it? You can kinda tell I'm just grasping at straws to have an answer for every line lol I think i need more time listening to this awesome song to really figure it out lol |

It's hard for me to figure out what this means for Me. The feel i get from it is a sadness, guilt, a bit of anger prehaps... a franticness. I very much so enjoy this song and would love to know what they were thinking when they wrote it. When she says "No masters, no gods, no laws, no soul" It seems almost like a rationalisation. Like the world would think she she has no master, no personal gods, goes by no laws, that she must also lack a soul. The song to me rings out like she's breaking away from conventual thinking. Prehaps it means once she had a faith but the laws or what not within it were so tight around her that she left it and now that comiunity looks down on her? "My heart starts collapsing My soul starts reacting I'm back in the fire again I'm burning & bleeding The parasites are feeding It's me versus me & all of them" This section to me sounds as if prehaps she carries a guilt from the old religion, like prehaps if she had left christianity that she feels guilty for some things she may be doing and the burning part refers to hell? Prehaps she fights with herself to justify what she does? The continuous referance to martyrs could be that people are condemming her for what she believes now? I'm not sure anyways. I just like this song alot. Of course i came here looking to see what the real meaning is becuz where I am christian and I like to play my music loud i want to make sure that it's not something i shouldn't be listening to. It doesn't feel wrong and the song doesn't seem wrong at all... just making sure. It does indeed sound like suffering to me. Great song though :) |
