| @[TheProfitSong:47387] I've almost read through all of this. Obviously the album connects to COVID, being releases exactly 123 days before the first reported case in Wuhan, all of the mentions of inoculation, disease, the glasses on the cover and how those glasses form a syringe when folded over, and much more. The "vaccine" itself was a ruse. A false state of serenity and like you noted, this cycle of lulling and culling has been going on throughout human history. They really only have one trick, "There is a deadly, scary monster, but if you do whatever I tell you to do, I will protect you from this monster." | |
| Puscifer – A Singularity Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
His dog died. Her name was MiHo. Which is apparently Japanese and means "Beauty" or it can mean "Crest of the Wave", which also denotes a temporary state of existence, as the crests of waves rise, then fold over on themselves and get sucked back into the Undertow of the rest of the current. He is grieving thus loss. This song is simply about the pitiful depths of grief. Read an analyze for yourself. Now that you know what the song is about, the meaning is apparent. Love. |

@[DuncanIdahoTPF:45542] Precisely what I make of the song. A lot of people get some of the results of this, but Maynard's lyrics are archetypal. You have described the cause of all the implications of what Culling Voices is about. It's deeper than what most others have offered as an explanation. Their explanations actually rest upon yours. Politics, mental illness and all the other suggested meanings result from what you have described and what you've described is exactly what the song is point toward. |

| @[danielwot:45536] Yeah, raising our glass to the resilience of our making our own calamities instead of raising a glass to not making them in the first place. I think it could be an example of the disingenuous nature of the preacher. It all depends on how one takes the song. Maynard's lyrics are like tarot cards. | |

@[danielwot:45535] Some people are tone def. I definitely get what you're saying. Maynard fucks with magick and lots of stuff people know very little about. |

@[danielwot:45534] "Weave my allegorical elogy" And in the kind of way that Fear Inoculum predicted COVID. I think, like in most Puscifer songs, he is poking fun at himself. Like saying, "If I predicted COVID, it was as a mad, drunken oracle. I didn't realize what I was doing. All of thus madness and chaos and here I am trying to tell everyone 'it's gonna be alright'." During that chorus, the words are hopeful, but the music is somber. Almost as if he doesn't actually believe what he is saying. I think Maynard is the preacher and the observer, all rolled into one. |

| Puscifer – Drunk With Power Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
There was an interview Maynard did around this time (it's on youtube) with a young woman who had asked him how he stays loyal to his significant others on tour. He immediately responded, while rolling his head, "I can't. I've tried. I just can't." I think this song is quite jab at himself. Obviously, being rich and famous and with another woman always available to him, he is the one who holds all the power in any relationship, and he obviously knows this. So, he is drunk with power. He jeers himself by referring to himself as a pimp and if he were, he'd obviously be some kind of winger. Pooh Bear would always eat all of his honey, without any self-control. So that reference makes sense and maybe he wrote this song on a day when he was missing a special lady who had enough of his shinnanigins. It seems he has always used his writing to critique himself and attempt to transmute some of his own bullshit. (Eulogy comes to mind). That's how I take this song, anyway. It could just be a silly song, but I doubt that. Inspiration for things that are good come from things that we experience. Maybe the honey in this song is his music or maybe actual grapes....or it could be a woman, like I suggested. |
