Jabberwocky Lyrics
This shit life. 8x
There are things.
There are creatures about
Which we can’t (?)
That's what I'm afraid of these days.
Pulled the wings off a rat today.
I saw myself and it was shielding to win.
That's what I'm afraid of these days.
There are things,
things that only I see.
There are creatures
and they’re out to get me.
That's what I'm afraid of these days.
Glued some wings to the back of a spider.
Looked up for validation but I could not find it.
No one's more scared than I am these days.
This shit.
Say it, cause I can see it.
You got the look of a skeptic in headlights.
Shall I go on?
Have I gone too long?
Cue the music because the speaker is scaring me.
The children are trembling.
Rightfully so.
Rightfully so.
Tell me again,
there’s a nest in my ear.
And why am I right?
A spirit in
Is that all we are?
Having their thoughts with my poor mind
Made a mess of my vision,
made a mess of my sight.
I should have seen friends
Say it cause I can see it
You got the look of a believer on trial.
So shall I go on?
Have I gone too long?
Cue the music because the speaker is scaring
the children are trembling
Rightfully so.
Rightfully so.
Say it cause I can see it
You got the look of a skeptic in headlights.
So shall I go on?
Have I gone too long?
Cue the lights because this darkness is taking it's toll.
There are creatures about

"Pulled the wings off the rat today"
sounds more like
"Pulled the wings off a bat today"
makes a lot more sense too
There are things, there are creatures about When you can't, you cowardice That's what I'm afraid of these days
Pulled the wings off the rat today I saw myself and it was you who looked away That's what I'm afraid of these days
There are things, things that only I see There are creatures, and they're out to get me That's what I'm afraid of these days
Glued some wings to the back of the spider Looked up for validation, but I could not find it No one's more scared than I am these days
Say it 'cause I can see it You got the look of a skeptic in headlights Shall I go on? Have I gone too long? Cue the music 'cause the speaker is scaring me
The children are trembling, Rightfully so, rightfully so
Found me again, their nesting my ear And what, behind my eyes, how scary I am Is that all we are? Having their fuss with my poor mind
Made a mess of my vision, A mess of my sight I should have seen friends
Say it 'cause I can see it You got the look of a believer on trial So shall I go on? Have I gone too long? Cue the music 'cause the speaker is scaring me
The children are trembling Rightfully so, rightfully so
Say it 'cause I can see it You got the look of a skeptic in headlights Shall I go on? Have I gone too long? Cue the lights because this darkness is taking its toll

the best song on the new album, very seasonal song seeing as how its almost halloween
i simply cant explain how much i love this song
and he says "This Shit Life" in the beginning
Made a mess of my vision, A mess of my sight I should have seen friends
I think that last line is "I should have seen this" not sure, but it seems to fit the context more in saying hes turned into a monster or whatever it be.
naw dude this song has got to be about tripping. its like about being frightened of bad trips.

dude dont act like you know everything..... do some shrooms and you will understand... please read the peom again because it just doesnt compare to the song.. i think they used JABBERWOCKY as a type of metaphor... and who cares if adam wrote the song like i care... ive bin listining to this band since you were a baby son.
Burning building, you are almost correct. He says 'this ship...' but he does cap it off with 'life.' This ship life makes complete sense I've re-listened through damn good headphones, and there is a faint (but present) emphasis on a 'p.' And strawberryandre, alot of this album is about the Earth and us fucking it over, not hallucinogenics (In this track I can't find much of a reference to the earth itself, but pay attention in their other tracks, as it is a blatantly repeated theme.) And I have done shrooms and acid, but what you wrote makes no sense what-so-ever....

And I have done shrooms and acid, but what you wrote makes no sense what-so-ever. grelsscz was completely correct (aside from the 'this shit life') on the lyrics. To the point, a lot of it can also be describing various forms of people. This song implies partial paranoid schizophrenia to me - the belief that there is always something out to get you, the belief that you are inexplicably seeing things others are not for a reason. 'Jabberwocky' itself contains reference to many mythical and coherently frightening creatures, which is where the name found root it seems. Also, burningbuilding, your translation is pretty understandable as well.
You mean since 2002?
You mean since 2002?
Vermicides got it right, no more lyric posts please. D:
It's about schizophrenia.
idk about the earth, maybe a little bit. but i read somewhere that fearberore themselves said this album was going to be about tripping. but the earth and tripping are one. when i trip i have to be outside or i freak out. and for schizophrenia i can agree with that since alot of people feel like theyre going insane on mushrooms acid etc...
