Crystal Visions Lyrics

She held lightening in her hand
It's been cornered by the man
I pretend no answering riot
As we hid it on the hill we ran
Fuel the mission
With our passion
Fighting still we ran

Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride

Made of crystals in the sand
If you want a taste you can
In the city where the people are alone
She held lightening in her hand
It's been cornered by the man
I pretend no answering riot
As we hid it on the hill we ran
Fuel the mission
With our passion
Fighting still we ran

Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride

Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride

sounds a bit like an acid trip in a jewelry store. >_>

This is a muslims idea of heaven. That to declare jihad, "fuel the mission with our passion, fighting still we ran" will grant them 1,000 virgins (200 naked pure gold girls) in the afterlife. The city that has run dry can, 1. refer to the desert, or 2. refer to the oil that lies just below. The irony is that somehow allah will grant them virgins in heaven while they corner their own women, forcing them to hide their faces.

It's about crystal meth. She held lightning in her hand = she had drugs with her.All of the hiding and running refers to trying to get high and evade police. The city that's run dry has had its meth supply cut off. The music video that goes with the song makes it clear that the more surrealistic images are part of a drug trip.

@pthalomarie Okay and why is it a soudtrack for Red Riding Hood? I mean, I don't have any better explanation, but I suspect you from using the "doesn't make a lot sense, must be about drugs" knd of logic.
