Key Entity Extraction II: Holly Wood the Cracked Lyrics

Pick a number, wait in line
There's no medicine that could fix that mind

(Hollywood! Hollywood!)
Watch out, here she comes!
(Hollywood! Hollywood!)
Fucking a loaded gun!

Message panicked, naked waste
There's no help to give this one to keep her sane

(Hollywood! Hollywood!)
Watch out, here she comes!
(Hollywood! Hollywood!)
Fucking a loaded gun!

Look out boy!

She's a few cards short of a full deck,
a joker in the game, oh
She's got a bullet with your name on it
No doubt, she's a mental case, oh

Better keep that girl away!

Poor Hollywood!
She is bad goods
Poor Hollywood!

This may be the last time I say...
This may be the last time I say!

Oh, poor Hollywood!
She is cracked goods
Poor Hollywood!

Oh, she's cracked, she's cracked
And where she's gone, there's no coming back
Ah, watch her finger, she's gonna pull the trigger
Then the bodies will run

(Hollywood! Hollywood!)
Watch out, here she comes!
(Hollywood! Hollywood!)
Fucking a loaded gun!

This song is about a woman, Holly Wood, who was obsessed with a celebrity-she did everything she could to become this celebrity including plastic surgery. She is crazy and eventually decides that in order to become the celebrity, she must kill the celebrity.

"Oh, she's cracked, she's cracked And where she's gone, there's no coming back Ah, watch her finger, she's gonna pull the trigger Then the bodies will run"

Claudio was inspired to write this song because a crazed "fan" was harassing him and his wife on Twitter. She was sending them videos of herself topless and freaking out on them, calling them racists and communists.

That's hilarious.

I'm not 100% certain, but Holly Wood is a soul intercepted by Sirius Amory and appears to be rather mentally unstable. There's a moment in the song when you hear slight tapping sounds that are out of place, almost like a razor on a mirror; I believe Holly is drug addled and probably has a vendetta to settle of some kind.

My Interpretation

I also think maybe Sirius is seeing how the souls lost their bodies? Since it's metaphysical they don't have to communicate through speech, maybe through memories of their death and they way they lived and died represent how they are as souls.

i think vendetta is a bit too controlled for her unstable mind, i rather think she goes on a killing spree. Before she literaly masturbates with a loaded gun that goes of at the end. I also like the idea that she is either way an actress, model or singer. Her name indicates that.

When Hollywood actually see's Sirius in the keywork she's not interested in finding a way out of the maze. Rather she stalks him like she stalked celebrities in her life. Wanting to hold him, and keep him in the keywork itself. She is too consumed by celebrity to bother herself with a way back to her old life.

I think it's just about the media and perhaps the element of spectacle. I might even say it's about the internet slowly replacing traditional media but that's ridiculous.

They took a place that's a symbol and personified it, it's basically open to interpretation.

My Interpretation

!!! IF YOUR NOT FAMILER WITH THE STORYLINE SPOILER ALERT !!!

This album is about Sirius Amory and about his discovery that the Keywork is made of lost souls. So I think that the songs with the titles 'Key Entity Extraction' are songs about him extracting a soul from the Keywork and each song is telling the story of that souls life, this one being about Holly Wood and his life.

in the billboard track-by-track video claudio says, "holly wood conceptually is about this girl that had started tweeting my wife and i and she started posting these strange youtube videos online with these crazy accusations about my wife and i. it started to kind of scare me, and as soon as i was going to film it to have it documented it they were taken down." what the shit is this all about?

Sounds like Claudio is making a joke of Hollywood and how much attention these "stars" get from certain types of people. I think of Lady Gaga whenever i hear this song LOL
