Blood, Milk And Sky

Rob is making references to the Sirens in The Odyssey. The Sirens are very beautiful mysterious women who stay on an island and sing. Their voices are heard by any passing ships. They are lured into the beauty of there voices. hence

Hypnotize the desperate

Once lured in they meet there demise and are killed. These Sirens show no signs of aging. Their beauty is everlasting they sing for eternity luring in the weak minded.

I do not sleep - Seduce The world it never Screams Dead water lies Ride the only one who Knows - Beauty never dies

I’m guessing all the “ohhhhh ahhhhhhh” ‘s in the song are the Sirens. Very hypnotic song. One of my favorites from White Zombie.

Urh...another interpretation into "love", I swear...lol..

Blood Milk and Sky is a mystic ritual performed by the Masai/Wasai tribes of Africa in which they drink the blood from a cow ... truthfully, that's all I know about that ceremony. But I am sure this has to do with passing down the strengths and spirits of ancestors again and again, with the animalism often associated with such ceremonies and possibly alot more to do with that than something about "love".

It's even in the very music itself, the various instruments used.

They were gonna makea video for this song but they broke up :(

marinbryce2: The United States is hardly the only nation to have red/white/blue as its colours. Ever hear of the United Kingdom? France? 'Duuuh' yourself, twit.

Thanks to those who did their research, rather than just applying knee-jerk ethnocentrism.

Ok...I don't know how everyone got this tribe nonsense. Well...these people drink milk and blood and those two things are in the title and nothing in the song refers to that, but that HAS to be it. Sorry, but no, it isn't. I completely agree that Blood, Milk, and Sky is America, red, white and blue. But so many other countries are red white and blue!! says some turd. Well, that's fine but Rob is from America so it only makes sense that most Americans think Red White and Blue and think America not "Well, could they possibly be refering to my country or a plethora of others?" I am pretty sure this song is a comparison of budding America to a Siren. Luring them in with false hope, grandeur, and seduction only to kill or betray them, as many immigrants came seeking the land of oppertunity and finding only witch hunts and poverty.

I can get you basically any White Zombie url you want

read the part about the cows throat being drained...

The tribes word for God is Ngai which also means sky...

so it does fit

Rob does make a whole lot of America references in White Zombie & Rob Zombie, I think he's oddly patriotic...

it's a clever combo... it also fits with the siren being America being thought of as a prosperous place when really we're just a "fly trap" of sorts

I'm not saying any of these ideas were mine at all... i first read all of these things here & I just wanted to agree and confirm that I think you guys are collectively right

there's a couple remixes of the song too... message me for a url on myspace if you want it

I think it's actually really good

This is a very powerful song, if you haven't heard it, download it (it has to be the Astrocreep 2000 version though) Trust me, you'll love this song.

i do love this song

Damn, now there's a person does their research. I love this song and always wondered what it was about. (I too made a love interpretation hangs head)

Thanks for enlightening me!

Interesting theories... I'm not entirely sure about the meaning, but this song fucking kicks ass!
