Opium, desire or will?
Inspiration bound from an elegant seed
Subversion, through smoke I foresee
Erotic motions of lesser gods in ectasy
Opium, bring me forth another dream
Spawn worlds of flesh and red,
Little jewels of atrocity
Opium, I sleep in debauchery
And burn with you
When you burn in me
Opium, we fantasize
As we fuse with your root
You are a strange flower,
We are your strangest fruit
Opium, it burns in me and you
Opium, it burns for me and for you
'Por isso eu tomo ópio. É um remédio.
Sou um convalescente do Momento.
Moro no rés do chão do Pensamento
E ver passar a vida faz-me tédio.'
great song.....very detailed description of opium and it's effects.... vocals are wonderful and the song overall is very catchy..... fucking awesome.
From the songs I've heard of this band. They sound very good. They sound a little like T.O.N to me, only alot harder. Does anyone know where I can listen to Mp3's of this band? I've been thinking of buying their stuff, but I want to listen to more of their stuff first [I want to know what album's I like the most]. If you know where I can get Mp3's of their stuff please post the website for me. I would appreciate it.
I think we all know where you can find .mp3 files of their songs... (p2p softwares...)
Opium is nice song, from the Iriligious album, although I prefer the Wolfshade album much more.
love the intro guitar in this song... so killer
is this the band that does crystal gazing?
Such a beautiful song, it describes the power of opium in such a great way and the music is good too. By the way, the last verse is from a famous portuguese writter and means:
"Therefore I take opium. It is a medicine. I'm a convalescent of the moment. I live in the lower floors of the thoughts, and to see life pass by grows me tedious"
This is about the worship of drugs as a means of finding ecstasy and inspiration. The speaker finds this in sex by means of Opium. Note the first line "Opium, desire or will?" ...The speaker wonders if he is simply feeding his desires or if he has succumed to an addiction(will). This could also be about sex magik.
I take this song as a love song. Opium is kind of metaphor of love and it's intoxicating force. Lovers are like fingers and between of them burns opium...
This is really a great song as portuguese i know what the last verbs really want to mean, IN opiario poem of Alvaro de Campos, OPium is what makes him forgot some other things, makes him almost traveling to another place, but when that feeling is over he felts even worst than in the beginning, this song really demonstrate the force of opiario... This is really close to something in Fernando Pessoa poems called hurt of thinking(don't know the real word in english) is dor de pensar(how much he thinks the worst he feels) and opium is the only way to runaway from the bad thoughts... the verse bring me for another dream demonstrates that...
Poesia de Alváro de Campos - Fernando Pessoa .
