@[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.
Sebek, Sochet, Suchos, Dread lord of the Marsh
He who crawleth amongst the Sacred Waters
And Devoureth the Flesh of that Which is sacrificed unto him
Tua Ashemu
Tua Ashemu
Rekhes Au Sebek
Rekhes Au Sebek
Tua Ashemu
Tua Ashemu
Sebek Neter Ashemu
Whose teeth rendeth and teareth with terrible violence
Restore the eyes of the dead
Collect their skulls
Join their bones together again
Lord of the temple of the Mount of Sunrise
Open the way unto the underworld
Cause the dead to rise to new life
Bring the child Horus upon the throne of Osiris
He who crawleth amongst the Sacred Waters
And Devoureth the Flesh of that Which is sacrificed unto him
Tua Ashemu
Tua Ashemu
Rekhes Au Sebek
Rekhes Au Sebek
Tua Ashemu
Tua Ashemu
Sebek Neter Ashemu
Whose teeth rendeth and teareth with terrible violence
Restore the eyes of the dead
Collect their skulls
Join their bones together again
Lord of the temple of the Mount of Sunrise
Open the way unto the underworld
Cause the dead to rise to new life
Bring the child Horus upon the throne of Osiris

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
good song, really like the guitars in this one. This song is about sebek basically, i dont remember if it was an egyptian god or just one of the crocodiles but it was definitely a crocodile of some sort. It's all in the liner notes ill come back later on this one
Yea a sacrifice to a crocodile god. The beginning end make me think of the croc thrashing around and eating the guy. Eek!
This Song is Awesome it Sounded perfect live!!!
in the video, i didnt see a bassist..
they have a bassist for live shows only at the moment from what I understand.
About the missing bassist in the video: Jon Vesano (bassist on the album this song appears) left before the vid were made I dont know why but he did it. And after his departure they have Chris Lollis as live bassist
this song is about the god Sebek, who kills people who sit on the bank of the nile
No sebek, or more commonly sobek, kills crocodiles in the nile and for this the people worship him with sacrifices
Carp sucks ass, (copyright rrdrums, kickassdrummer) They sing about avatar and sodomising cum sucking pigs.
The Egyptians came to regard the crocodile as a personification of the powers of evil and death, and they associated it with the demonic aspect of the got Set. I was unaware until researching this song that the species known as the Nile crocodile is one of the very few animals on our planet that actively hunts and preys upon humans with specific (as opposed to incidental) intent.
In later times, according to Herodotus in his "History (Book 2)", crocodiles became sacred in parts of Egypt such as at Shedet (called "Crocodiliopolis" by the Greeks) where a crocodile was kept in a sanctuary lake alongside Sebek's Temple. The sacred crocodile (adorned with crystal and gold earrings and bracelets on its forepaws) was said to be Sebek incarnate. Temple visitors brought food offerings, which the priests of Sebek fed to the sacred crocodile. If Sir Wallis Budge is to be believed, this also included on special religious occasions infants and small children. Upon the sacred crocodile's death, it was embalmed and entombed in a sacred vault.
The crocodile plays an important part in Egyptian mythology as both friend and enemy of the dead god Osiris. He was also a protector and helper of the newly dead, playing a role in Horus' ascension to new life. In later Egyptian mythology, the crocodile came to be regarded as a symbol of the Sun, and was associated with the sun-god, Ra, forming the composite god Sebek-Ra.
In Egyptian art, Sebek is portrayed as a crocodile-headed man waring either a solar disk encircles with the uraeus or a pair of ram's horns surmounted by a disk and a pair of plumes. A small pair of horns is sometimes shown above the large horns. Variants of the name are Sebeq, Suchos and Sobek.
