| Mudvayne – Skrying Lyrics | 10 years ago |

This song has a strong meaning behind it that cannot be seen by simply examining pieces of it. Chad Grey is a great storyteller, however sporadic the lyrical content may be. Skrying, in terms of Luciferian theology, is the act of reflecting on ones self in the truest sense of the word. This song is rather scary, this is true. However, not in the occult aspect, but rather in the hidden content. In essence, this track conveys a sense of constriction and demeaning sexual advances. The lyrics speak for themselves in terms of this idea. "Little girls severity, little boys begging mercy, sticks break on me" this is the first sign of child molestation. He is reflecting (skrying) on the inner sanctum of his adolescence and innocence and how that was stricken from him. "My cost, the price of a broken doll" is reflecting the concept that a young lady (or possibly male) that was once beautiful, has been destroyed and broken emotionally by these acts. He later chimes in stating "Games of passion taste so sweet" It seems he is reflecting deeper on the emotional torment and falsified sense of love and acceptance that one experiences when subjected to this molestation, and follows with his anger towards this distrust "cut his throat and slaughter meat" finalizing his thoughts he has kept inside as "my secrets." These reflections are in a pool of emotion, as he states "skrying through reflections in a pool." He sees the death of himself coming in a depressive sense, pushing him to reflect on that one safe place he had, which is signaled as "the bedroom" Take care to read through this album, as it entails the basic structure of spirituality and emotion, as well as the ties therein. |
