I'm pretty sure it's about a collapsing society/tyranny. Here's what I picked up. "Bodyhammer Bodyhammer Brain burn smolder Soft head hard shoulder" I think that this is saying the people ruling or following the tyranny are ruthless and don't stop to think before beating anyone who doesn't surrender to their ideals into submission, or killing them. So dogmatism. "I've eaten dirt from the shakin' shiver boys I hid the hurts and my yellow liver voice The night stick beats the prayer and the poise My skin flicks at the sound of my voice Another pound "put it on the yoke" While a miscarriage of justice is lost on the ropes" It sounds like the ruler of this tyranny/religion is greedy, reckless, and keeps the people in line, but knows somewhere within they're doing something wrong and their society is slowly collapsing from the inside. "Bodyhammer I'm lost on the ropes Bodyhammer I'm lost on the ropes Bodyhammer I'm lost on the ropes" The ruler/citizens are lost in the crippled society that they've created "This is the eve of agony and ecstasy This is the seed of terror times and tyranny my odyssey I can do anything This is the down of lunacy our legacy This is the root of vacancy and bigotry" The society is either collapsing or growing stronger, or both. "Give me the skin Give me the trouble Give me the skull Give me the bottle I can do anything I can see everything I can feel anything See there before the strutting state again revealed The oldest hate justifies and sanctifies its single aim to kill and maim" The ruler is drunk on power, lying to themselves, and is pumped with arrogance. "I can't think I can't feel I can't see what the fuck is real There's something burning in my skull There's something burning on my skin There's something burning in my skull There's something burning on my skin This is the prime of punishment This is the time of pestilence This is the ink inside my head The crumb of crime from which I'm fed" The society is falling apart and the ruler is suffering from his delusion. |
