Suicide Trees Lyrics
(SPOKEN WORD)
I spent my whole life, in love with despair. Kept my lungs full with the breath of their mute atmosphere. I became what I hate. And thus shall I remain. To give birth to a mighty assassin, armed with a weapon of words. To defy the lies. To never compromise. No, today, my name, is pain.
I stood, beyond the world. Whispering secret syllables, in the, eyeless dark. Dancing wildly, round and round on the, rotting ground. Surrounded by the dead dusts of Hell. This is how I delete myself. And this is how I corrupt, everyone else.
Obey, obey
Betray, betray
You are not unique, you do not need to think.
I will
I will...I will
You succumb so nicely
(Like an insect staring back)
(Like a dying dove)
My love....(no)....my love
(SONG BEGINS)
So here we are again
The sheets are stained and bloodied
The animals scrath at my skin
Here we are again
My face is scraped and bloodied
I've nothing left to give
I wasn't there
I'm not involved
I'm innocent
It's not my fault
I wasn't there
I'm not involved
I'm innocent
It's not my fault
Here in the suicide trees (x2)
(No, bloody, bloody, bloody, MURDER)
AMONG THE EXCREMENT OF MY SINS!!
It's not happening
It can't be happening
It's not happening
So here we are again
In secret ceremonies
Changing shape, amen
Here we are again
Pretending not to notice
The illness sinking in
I wasn't there
I'm not involved
I'm innocent
It's not my fault
I wasn't there
I'm not involved
I'm innocent
It's not my fault
Here in the suicide trees (x2)
Toil and labor
Hate you neighbor
Faith in favor
OBEY!!
Toil and labor
Hate your neighbor
Faith in favor
OBEY!!
OBEY (x2)
HATE YOUR NEIGHBORS (x2)

It's not happening, It's not happening

"Was inspired by a passage in Dante's Inferno and written during a very dark phase I found myself enduring. But if the mantra from SEVAS TRA is to have any real meaning [art saves] then I must be a living testament of it. And though I again journeyed through the dark wood of despair, the crusade of creativity salvaged me again." -- Otep Shamaya
i wanna know what the song sounds like
beautiful. one word to describe this song.
this song is bad ass
"here we are again pretending not to notice the illness is sinking in"
it says that the illness is SNEAKING in.
but this song is just beautiful. beautifully written. i looovvvveeee the poetic passages but what is the meaning of this song???
Wait, Dante's inferno?
I've read that book, and yes, It does seem like it is explained through that.
This song is extremely great, but also at the same time, it makes you wonder what type of pain suicidal people go through.
This reminds me of the part where the people that kill themselves are at, in the levels of hell Dante' explained.
Was listening to this song and couldn't help but think of what drives someone to commit suicide. Is it the daily choices they make? How do choices that other people make influence you and your own decision to kill yourself?
Taking it one step further, I see a tree as a lifetime of choices. My life could be represented as a tree. Each branch would be some place where someone else has influenced my life. So even though you're not there when my branch ends (aka life ends), you were there when it began. To say "I wasn't there" isn't true, at one point in my life you were there. At one point I could say "it was your fault".
Great song, lyrically and instrumentally...it keeps conjuring images right through of vampires...think it would be a great song for a really dark vampire movie...seems like a vampire at conflict between her new-found habit & nature and her residual human feelings...which could relate to the type of conflict a suicidal person experiences, not sure ...
Btw, i'm not disagree'ng with either Shamaya's intention or the collective interpretation, i'm just sharing my personal emotional response to the song....
