Purity Ring – Grandloves Lyrics 11 years ago
She is in deep love with the guy that it is a spiritual thing for her. he understands that she is in love with and he loves her too, but on a earthly realm. its like two beings from separate planets in love.

he accepts that she takes her spiritual life seriously but he cant see just how much she loves him. Her love surpasses human understanding, to the point she considers him an idol that she wants to glorify him with love.

Purity Ring – Crawlersout Lyrics 11 years ago
I get the interpretation that it is a song about life and death. a female guardian spirit has died and her death has bought in a new race of "crawlers" and we are affected by it today. being poisoned with death.

or about humans abandoning spirituality for humanity.

"Sea water’s flowing from the
Middle of my thighs
Wild buffalo are dancing on
Cliff tops in the skies"

water representing new life and youth. being a woman she is fertile. skies representing her head/ mind
wild buffalo representing the abundance of her hair flowing freely in the wind. she uses earthy symbols to represent and define her nature.

"Adorn me in feathers from
Dead birds
And contemplate the size
Of leather pelts to
wind me in, put
Shudders on my eyes"

this where the song now turns into something macabre..
she understands that she has died. There is a death ceremony happening and her corpse is being adorned in feathers as a tradition and leather pelts are used to bind the corpse for burial.
she finds this appalling and fearsome therefore she shudders her eyes from it. She is a spirit observing the ceremony and doesn't like the idea that she has died. her death welcomed the "crawlers"

"write it down
the names and dates of the daughters
who bore out of me like
grandmother's vines"

she asks to remember the daughters who was born pure from her, the land. the spirit of earth. almost like a plea to find them to continue her race and to save life from death.
to further her lineage like grandmother did before her.



"they hang from the planks
of my cedar grave grow
pretty long lashes and beards
guarding the rain of me from them
heedless trampling toes
gathering honeybees in their
sockets and creases and holes"

the crawlers hang from tree branches of her own burial place which is a forest of cedar trees. the crawlers have both female and male aspects, lashes represent the beauty of a woman and the beard represent the strength of a man. they stop her from being released from her grave by damaging and stealing the life her creation. she cant do anything about it because she has been confined by death. the dead are crushing the flowers (beauty of the land) and devouring its workers (honey bees in the sockets, creases and holes) ( death overruns the beauty of land)

"they'll cover the hills with their
sweet flesh and soft nails"

she sees that crawlers are beautiful but deadly. she sees that they will overrun the land with their existence. nails symbolizing their permanence by imposing their power over the land.

"they'll cover the doors with the screams
that their minds dispose"

in their wake they are killing all that is still alive, ignoring the cries of the sufferers.

"they'll weave their long souls
into the frame
to grow their foliage in
sew their long hairs
into their beds"

death is a long soul. it has no end no beginning. the corpse weave their long souls around the very frame of life. therefore life is now poisoned with death.
death blooms the foliage of curses in life such as sickness, ill fates, misfortune, etc. the corpses sew their very being into the most intricate parts of life. a strand over hair is thin so it could fit into the most tightest of patterns. in reality, that's why you can always expect misfortune along with fortune. death is in everything and everywhere now.

Pure Bathing Culture – Scotty Lyrics 11 years ago
In my opinion I think it is a song about a lonely person maybe (Anti social, introvert) who prefers the unknown of his mind.

The person names the ego in his psyche "Scotty." Scotty is the only friend he has in his solemnity.

"Now you move so smooth
It's all new inside you.
Spins that rhythm
You let push through"

This person finds comfort in his new discovery, a new personality- new friend.

"Rows to rows, mile to mile
Gaze is fixed, eyes on fire."

millions of people are watching and judging.

"Something secret sleeps deep
Within you."

The power of his mind- the alter ego, Scotty.

"They blink once, they blink twice
Seen it all, hearts like ice."

The judging on lookers don't understand the persons reason for accepting his new beliefs and possibly judging him as a "schitzo" since he refers to Scotty in second person. They are cold because they judge him as crazy.

"It's your natural place
You stay
Scotty's got his way, yeah.
And you laugh in their faces
You say, "Scotty's got to stay,"

The person finds comfort in the solemnity of his mind and prefers Scotty than reality. Scotty is the personality that his mind has created. He prefers Scotty over his own and everyone else and finds his true happiness with Scotty. He asserts the presence of Scotty.

In the end the chorus of Benny Mardones's song "Into the Night" is used in a conversation between Scotty and person.

Scotty is singing the Chorus and the chorus of this song responds by confirming Scotty.
