Viscera Eyes

this song will kick your ass

y. Viscera Eyes:

Viscera is an organ that resides in the cavities of your body. People believe that eyes are the window to the soul; now going with the religious undertones of Amputechture... God/Spirituality is often the answer to the hole (Emptiness) that is otherwise unfulfillable with secular means. So without God/Spirituality: our soul is nothing more than a organ that fills the cavities in our body.

"In your viscera eyes Cateracts close the blinds Let me come drown by your side"

Cateracts = a film that develops on the eyes which causes blindness. Now going with the metaphor, the film which blinds our soul is created from the absence of God.

There was a comment on here about this being about Jesus' crucification and a possible conversation between he and one of the other guys that got crucified with him.

"Let me let Comfort come drown by your side" supports this I believe. At first, Drown by your side might refer to baptism, like the guy will do anything to be saved at the last minute, but then I thought; The cause of death in a crucification is usually a type of drowning from fluid in the lungs. Historians and realists think this is how and why "Water" came out of Jesus when he was stabbed with the spear of destiny; they punctured a lung.

I'm not totally confident in my translations, but here are the correct lyrics:

"Por quando te vi enfermo con mentiras Este ladron cuenta se dio Trapa mal hecho de trampas te lo juro Que yo si te mato Y con cada dia que se pase requerdate Quien era el mas poderoso

(For when I saw you sick with lies This thief took notice -I have no idea- And with every day that passes Remember who was the most powerful)

Don't let me, don't let me go There is a venom in numerical lies Your convalescent thorns Are but a crown of magnets They fold the shakes inside that third glass eye Come and give it to me Come and die

In your viscera eyes Cateracts close the blinds Let me let comfort come drown by your side

Hay mi hija no me llores Porque yo te quito de esta cruz A noche te vi caminando sin la alma de tu cuerpo En los brasos sin luz

(Oh, my daughter, do not cry for me For I take away from thee this cross At night I saw you walking without the soul of your body In the embers without light)

Stains fall into the brick wall severed Four of them were watching While the other three did hide The culprit spat the seed from a podium of glass Shattering the sigil that you thought was deitized

Don't let me, don't let me go There is a venom in numerical lies Your convalescent thorns Are but a crown of maggots They rot the shakes inside that third glass eye Come on and give it to me Come on and die

In your viscera eyes Cateracts close the blinds Let me let comfort come drown by your side

In your viscera eyes Cateracts close the blinds Let me let comfort come drown by your side

Wait I've seen the arc shake from your mnemonic tongue But the braille that you weave of itself it shall read aloud Yes it will I said, she's falling, she's still falling But no one wants to come She's crawling, she's still crawling On your burial ground She's falling, she's still falling But no one wants to come I said, she's crawling, she's still crawling On your burial ground"

agreed

oww my ass hurts... oh i see the warning now... haha it is good

Seriously just the song I was looking for from the Mars Volta. pure rock.

i think the chorus goes "in your viscera eyes, cataracts close the blinds" not "Cut the lights Close the blinds"

i agree with shane, i believe that's how it goes aswell.

This song is fucking amazing, although there are better on the album, this one has TREMENDOUS power. It makes me want to pound my fists upon the ground.

this songs me do a lot of things and the bass riff at the end is so catchy you just wanna dance or something. bands that play muisc like this are so influential.
