| @[APC_freakinRocks:10052] My take on it is that while "I" (The government) is telling you all these comforting words, they are actually fucking you in the background. | |

@[si4ws89:10050] I know how you feel. This song/album resonates with me as well. I'm sorry for everything you had to go through but I'm glad you're doing alright. Anyway, I completely understand where you're coming from. I too have seen aMotion clip you were referring to. The thing is, Maynard is notorious for intentionally misleading fans when explaining the meanings behind his lyrics. His explanations for the meaning behind Judith and 3 Libras respectively are almost comical. It's like he likes loves playing with people's minds. That's what's so captivating about him. He thrives on being very enigmatic. He hates being a celebrity hence the make up, wig, costumes and performing in the back/side of the stage at live shows. I've seen almost all if not all of his interviews and he very rarely gives out serious/sincere answers so I wouldn't necessarily count on his explanations. 13th Step is indeed very well centered on addiction and the failure of 12 step programs (13th step being Relapse. A common joke within AA circles) but not all the songs on it are about addiction. This one being one of them. The line "Swaying to the rhythm of the New World Order" and the reference to sheep and war drums alone are a dead give away, I think. It's the only subject that makes sense to me. Like most art forms, songs/lyrics are open to interpretation. This to me is very straight forward once you get the topic. This song helped wake me up. That's my take on it. |
