| Puscifer – Conditions of My Parole Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think all of you are really over thinking this. The story to me is as follows. He's out on parole, gets belligerent hammered and is convinced he kills something evil and gets rid of the body. He is so convinced that his victim was evil incarnate and might return from the dead so he keeps his gun. Then he probably blacks out, pisses somewhere in public, and gets arrested. Note they make no mentions of how he has ended up with the cops, just that he has, so that is an assumption on my part, based on the charges laid against him. While he's in the jail cell, they ask him about the gun he has on him and he confesses to the murder. However, when he tells them where he stashed the body, they don't find it, so they assume he was just wasted and didn't actually do anything, just made the thing up, maybe hes just crazy. Meanwhile, he's truly convinced it happened and is now terrified to leave jail for fear of his undead victim returning to haunt him. I don't think there is any hidden cryptic anti-religious metaphors here, just a humorous story about a drunk. Just because Maynard has written incredible, deep, poetic lyrics that have multiple hidden and different personal interpretations in all of his projects, alot of Puscifer has been much more straightforward in the lyric department, still wonderfully put together and poetic, but not so much dark, cryptic meanings. That's just my opinion at least, I don't know what he was thinking when he wrote it so I could be wrong, but I think it's a solid one. |
