This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane and everyday is a new strain of slaughter supply lines are less protected evil on all sides eye can smell the death on your flesh -- creeping in trapped within the twisting fingers of fear and all eye see is ewe that face those eyes burning like leprosy eye can see you there poisoning the air prostituting Nationalism and eye want to attack to rip out your heart and lay your flat on your back and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory ... and hate guides our way eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back for the acceptance of death and blind cave war the giving sleep of depression the sweet elucidation of savage, meaningless aggression chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples in the harem tents - outside just beyond the edges - eye ride a cycloptic mare in the fires of imagination feeding my disease a river of plagues eye need something to remind me eye am still sinning that pain in important that wurdz matter that healing in possible that eye am not alone ... in this - guard the houses - triple the watch - maidens, dig up your sorcery - sirens, sharpen your rocks ... ewe will eat my pain again whatever you need unite messiah ME

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
does this really count as a song? it's more like it's just creepy dialogue. still brilliant, especially her final scream at the end. it's like she's just talking out her problems to anyone who is listening, and then finally she just gets so frustrated and just wants everything to stop.
Otep is amazing. I adore this song especially. she is god. it's more of a dialogue...it's awesome. badass.
Considering this song was released before "The Village" this is pretty irrelevant; or insightful. Take it however you please. But I cannot listen to this song without having at least a few flashbacks of that crappy movie. Particularly the last 4 lines. "Guard the houses" the entire village was nothing but houses housing residents. "Triple the watch" aka watching for those of whom we don't speak. "Maidens dig up your sorcery" I can't help but think of the costume that couple had hidden under their floorboards in which they eventually had to "dig up". "Sirens sharpen your rocks" in other words the men at the bells around the town are to prepare for another invasion by those of whom we don't speak.
I think it's her perception of current politics, or just any system where the leaders pretend that everything's perfectly fine so they don't have to see the plight of the suffering
Its simply about how corrupt, diminishing, lieing that all this country's government does. i think we need to restart and refirbrish the government and make it less crappy.
