I've read alot of your guys guesses, but I've noticed your all trying to figure out what the song was ment to be, so instead of trying to figure out what the song was written for. I'm gunna write how I think of the song. What I see the meaning as. "All Alone (x16) Leviticus Deuteronomy..." I googled it and Leviticus, is the third book of the Bible. Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bilbe, containing a recapitulation of the Ten Commandments and much of the Mosaic law. So refering to this, oviously points to religion. The 5th book seems to list lots of rules and laws you should follow. I've never been one to be very religious, and tend to question rules. (though I do believe in god) So to me this part of the song means that we are 'alone' to not follow these rules and live by the word of god. That basicly, your a sinner if you ain't perfect. So like, saying how people always preach to you but you know they ain't perfect either. It makes you feel like everyone is doomed to hell. To me more personaly, it would refer to one specific thing. I know a lot of people who use the Bible as an excuse for hateing Homosexuals. I myself am one. So this part makes me feel as if, by being myself, how I was born, I am alone cause 'God' hates me, cause I'm a sinner. I see it as if, someone has told me this, and I, would just be ranting about the things they say. Yes I got that much out of a few lines. "snatch a piece of my wonderin' distant-far like yonderin' skin of my tooth like seat of my boot like fly in my soup like where's the waitress?" Snatch a piece of my wonderin' distant-far like yonderin' makes me think of how people try to brainwash you to believe in something. Such as above, that being gay is a sin. And that the rules that are laid out in front of you, are the absolute law. Skin of my tooth like, seat of my boot like. Like someone eles said, it's like saying that the bottom of you shoe, is thin as the skin on your teeth. Or that your treading on thin ground. But I take it more in depth as to such, by breaking this rule your trending on thin ice. Your one step closer to cracking it and that'll be the end of you. So for me its like, everytime you act gay, have relationships with a member of the same sex, ect. Your one step closer to your fate. Or hell. fly in my soup like, wheres the waitress? Makes me think of more like the fly is some kind of hurdle, and that the waitress is 'gods messanger' Like, how shall I explain it. Basicly, like someone who really believes in god, thinks what your doing is wrong. So they cause some small delema in your life, but dosnt let anyone help you. And stays away from you. So you can't get past this delema. Your only option is to run away. Sure you can take the fly out, but it was still there. Its bacteria is already in the soup. Think of it like the soup is a state. So the waitresses make the delema of, maybe, haveing the law agaisnt gay marriage. Sure you can leave the state, and marry eleswhere. But like leaveing the soup, you'll be hungrey, or c,ouded with defeat. You could rise agaisnt this law, and let gays marry in that state. But there will always be the words of the people who are agaisnt it still there to poisen your good spirit. "can i take this, really, can i finish this? these years and all these creatures it's my mistake, i'll make it" can I take this really, can I finish this? Too me this is saying, now that I've found some way around my delma can I really continue, can I face of too the problems ahead. Will I be able to defend my honor, even though you all think what I've done is so wrong. Like fighting for a cause, you may have leaped, conqued, or defeated one hurtle in the way of you goal, but do you have the strength courgae and will to keep going. Despite how many other problems you will have to face. For me it'd be like, finally amiting i'm gay, but does that mean I'm comfortable to be myself? I start to be myself, but now can I face up to all thoughs that oppse to me? And so on and so forth. these years and all these creatures, all this time i've been fighting towards this dream of mine, to be free to who I am. All these creatures want to stop or hurt me. These demons that haunt me. Possible thinking about turning back.. it's gotten to be too much. It's my mistake, I'll make it. It's my fault for steeping into this battle, I shouldn't of started something I can't finish. I'll have to keep going it's to late now. I WILL make it through this. (skiping some lines, yes.) "chemical cutthroats bound to blow the brain out cut to the brain this ain't no game i'll show no shame i'll birth this blame i'm twisted cain i'll twist again i'll push the blade as plain as day" Basicly I see this whole thing as how your being pushed to believe something, to do something, to be who your arnt. Like "chemical cutthroats, bound to blow the brains out" is people trying to hurt or stop you. "This is no gmae, I'll so no shame, I'll birth this blame" Is saying the casue your fighting for/or agaisnt isn't a game. Your being serious and absolutely for real. You won't take shame in what you believe in or are and you'll take the blame for the 'mistakes' you make. "I'm twisted cain, I'll twist again" again I looked on google, Cain was the eldest son of Adam and Eve and murdurer of his brother Abel. So I think since Cain murdered, this is a reference to being a sinner. Saying I'm twisted Cain. Saying that I'll twist again is like saying, I'll sin again. For me thats like being called a sinner for being gay, but saying I don't care this is who I am, I'm a sinner then, and I'll sin again. "I'll push the blade, as plain as day" Is like saying I'll push away the punishment, or pain, your trying to inflict upon me. Your trying to convince me I'm a sinner when I KNOW, I'm not. Your trying to say I'll burn in hell when I won't. I can't help the way I was born. And I'm not gunna hide it. "known to what these sayers say known to what these doers do it's you and who and you-know-where we's about to take it there we's about to make it clear we happy or we lonesome" Basicaly for this one, "Know to what these sayers say, known to what what these doers do" is say, I know what all you people are saying and doing, and I know it's what you were going to do. Like saying I expected to be ridiculed or hated by some people when I decided to be open about being homosexual. "It's you and who and you-know-where" I'm not sure how to explain what this line means, but it ties in with the rest of this part. "we's about to take it there, we's about to make it clear" We 'homosexuals' are gunna make it clear that we arnt going to change ourselves for you. Basicaly kind of a united part. "we happy or we lonesome" Basicaly saying as a gay, your choice is too fight the 'power' and be happy with your love, or be lonesome and conform yourself.. the long jump, the beat heart, from start to finish ten spoons of spinach the soul and the spillage the cup that runneth ovah we turn up the o-god! "the long jump, the beat heart, from start to finish" I know what it means to me but I don't know how to explain.. "ten spoons of spinach, the soul and the spillage" to me its like, erm, ten spoons of spinage is healthy, but gross(to some ppl) So the soul, and the spillage. Its like saying.. fighting for this will be good for me in the long run, but hard painful and(or) unbearable for the time being "the cup runneth ovah" hmm, maybe over-flowing with happy-ness once your battles won? I'm not quite sure. "we turn up the o-god" like saying people who are gay but believe in god still pray to him and believe in him, even though others make you feel as if he don't care about you. Or maybe reffering to "O-god y?!" as if the person believes god dosn't love them. "close your eyes and see when there ain't no light all you'll ever be come and save the night cause i don't leave when the morning comes, it doesn't seem to say an awful lot to me" Close your eyes, sleep, or dream. When theres no light, no hope, don't like your dreams die. Slow down and close your eyes, block out the world and think of how you truely think. Create your own path through the darkness. When the morning come, it doesn't seem to say an awful lot to me maybe like, if you do conform, then your gunna be miserble and lonely. So don't look for the morning light (the path someone eles already created) but look for a emty darkness, and fill it with your own light. So that's my interpertation. And what the song means to me. |
