Hollow Point Sniper Hyperbole Lyrics
Thoughts seem to stumble out of my mouth
I can't seem to stop and talk to them
Fear tries, to pierce the armor of truth
Hollow point sniper hyperbole
I can't, seem
To follow a pendulum
And there must be organic cures for me
Report to base
Instrumental Case
Here's the map to my oubliette
Once more,
I'm flying with Brian my friend
Hold me,
Bonavista baby
Moose meat,
Neighboured a medley of beans
Screech me
I's the by that built the boat
I's the by that sailed her
I's the by the sunk the ship
You're the one that save me,
With love
You make me flow
You help me to grow
You make me glow
You help me to know
I can't seem to stop and talk to them
Fear tries, to pierce the armor of truth
Hollow point sniper hyperbole
To follow a pendulum
And there must be organic cures for me
Report to base
Instrumental Case
Here's the map to my oubliette
I'm flying with Brian my friend
Hold me,
Bonavista baby
Moose meat,
Neighboured a medley of beans
Screech me
I's the by that sailed her
I's the by the sunk the ship
You're the one that save me,
With love
You help me to grow
You make me glow
You help me to know

From the third verse on it's referring to the island province of Newfoundland, Canada. Bonavista is a town on the island, moose meat shoudl be self explanitory and Screech is very strong rum drunk in Newfoundland. I's the boy etc is from a Newfoundland folk song. The entire song can be foudn here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I's_the_B'y

i have the CD and in the lyrics in the book it says oubliette, which is a type of old prison where they dropu down a hole into a room with no doors or anything, usually the basement of a castle. so its a bit different, but i think all the other stuff is right.

Definitely Atlantic Canada related...mainly Newfoundland and Labrador (note they may be the same province but are NOT the same)... they love their screech and the word "by"... man...i miss Labrador :(
This song is actually inspired by Ash and Jay's time up on the Rigs in Alberta and the Newfies they made friends with.
Let's analyze the song title, "Hollow Point Sniper Hyperbole"...
Hollow Point = A hollow-point bullet is an expanding bullet that has a pit or hollowed out shape in its tip, often intended to cause the bullet to expand upon entering a target - it's intended to cause maximum damage to a "target".
Sniper = No explanation required...
Hyperbole = The use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech.
Now, let's think about this more closely. The song title isn't meant to be taken literally - it's a metaphor for someone being targeted by a "sniper" or a "person causing harm". The "sniper" could be a person spreading lies and harsh words about the "target" - hence the term "hyperbole". The nasty words or lies are meant to be the "hollow point bullet" and the person spouting the nastiness is the "sniper". Get it now?? This type of behavior is known as mobbing when it involves 2 or more people and causes the target to become hypervigilant which looks similar to schizophrenia - but it's artificial schizophrenia meaning that they aren't hearing voices but experience similar symptoms (can't follow a pendulum, disconnected thoughts due to psychological trauma).
