Sounds like it might be about that group that committed mass suicide because they thought the passing comet would carry them quickly to the afterlife. I wouldn't be surprised, since Team Sleep's early song Kool Aid Party with Mike Patton was about another cult's mass death. |

Always makes me think of the first sounds an infant hears at birth... so being born (I'd imagine that's a pretty trippy experience if you believe in a higher spiritual level). Take it from there. |

Musicians borrow lines all the time. It's considered a tribute, or inspiration. Sometimes one line can inspire an artist to expand on an idea and write their own work. |

| System of a Down – Forest Lyrics

This song definitely rehashes a lot of spiritual themes, such as God being one with human spirits... I think it's kind of System musing on God's thoughts of people. |

This song makes me imagine a dark brown forest, with a lot of people crowding around a person resembling Maynard with a beam of tremendously bright but focused light projecting from his body, arcing over the top of the trees, and into the starry night sky. |

| The Sound of Animals Fighting – The Heretic Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
I'm surprised, given the background of the members, but this seems to be a pretty spiritual album. This seems to be about death, similar to Skullflower. In this song, it seems like somebody is dying, and as it occurs, they think of how deceiving their body is. As they continue to live on, all their former material desires make them think of their flesh body as a heretic.
Whether the death is typical or a suicide is up for debate, I think. Suicide just crossed my mind because it seems that this a voluntary death. "My body is a witch. I am burning it." |
