Freak Lyrics

They poison our sweet Mother Earth
Destroy our sacred bodies
To fill our mouths with junk and...
They call this knowledge
But knowing nothing
Means knowing far, far too much
They let our children
Starve in the name of peace
They march to the beat of
A killing machine

Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted

Oh... They'll pour the salt from your soul
Oh... They'll pour the salt from your soul

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Scars and bars and 51 stars
In faith and milk and...
I'm drinking filth and disease
Oh pretty please, I'm begging freedom
There's lives to be blinded,
Serviced and kinded
Before we've paid
And then we'll pay some more
Do you know the score?
Cause I'm so fucking bored!

Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted

Oh... They'll pour the salt from your soul
Oh... They'll pour the salt from your soul

They'll say you won't as evidence of your hope

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream when you can't wake up from the dream you wanted
Life is not a dream
Life is not a...
Life is not a dream
Life is not a dream

I'll add a little BC freemasonry here.

This first verse can be viewed (and often is) as America, the political powers, etc. etc. But I'll take it a step further and say he's jabbing his newfound bosses.

Verse 1:

"They poison our sweet mother earth Destroy our sacred bodies To fill our mouths with junk and They call this knowledge But knowing nothing Means knowing far, far too much They let our children Starve in the name of peace They march to the beat of A killing machine"

---- Freemasons are all about "knowledge" : "celestial knowledge" "mathematical knowledge" "architectural knowledge"...it hearkens back to the garden of eden where satan tricks Eve with the apple of knowledge. In fact, this can be tied in with the first four lines.

Sweet mother earth can be seen as the garden of eden; our sacred bodies the ones Adam and Eve were given and made to pass on; the junk being the poison apple. Knowing nothing i.e. pretending to be smarter than God but not knowing anything really, still makes them dangerous because they THINK they know so much.

They don't care if children starve, it's part of their Georgia Guidestones plan, and they'll do it in the name of peace and betterment of the globe. It is indeed, a killing machine.

"Life is not a dream When you can't wake up from the dream you wanted"

---- chilling to the bone. BC sold his soul (check out his solo album symbolism and freemasonry stuff, and him seeing shapeshifters...he definitely did a blood pact for the rock n' roll lifestyle). This was the dream he wanted, now he can't get out. It was a ruse.

"I'm drinking filth and disease Oh pretty please, I'm begging freedom"

--- he wants out. he's sick of the poison.

BC is a super talented guy. I don't know why he had to go and do this crap to reboot SP. It's sad really.

My Interpretation

Hoping for some theories here. I'm enjoying the musical side of things in this for now. Probably the best of the Teargarden by Kaleidyscope songs so far.

I think this song comes in second to A Stitch in Time, it is a very good song overall though. I think the song is about how we destroy our Earth with wars, garbage, etc.

It's obviously about how fucked up the world and America is in general

This song generally jabs on America politician and the mindset of today's politic. They generally refer to the one who have power or even someone who are abusing power.

"They march to the beat of A killing machine" This sentence sounds like War Pigs to me.

I'm confused with "They'll pour the salt from your soul"! Hope you help me out on this one.
