Man I can understand why you guys and girls didn't leave your interpretations... there's so much going on in this song. I'll try to tackle it! This goin' be long, and I'm gonna have to do a line-by-line :(
"simple souls overload as i explode data banks
cuz the earth & space gave birth to this paleface"
"supreme -- linguistic -- mental machine
your brain cells swell - the intellects extreme"
It's the age of intellectualism. Where everyone strives to analyze and interpret things to no end with their brains. Those whose minds became a repository of textbook knowledge are the elite (supreme).
fire fills my veins as eye proclaim my resistance
to the mind-swapping parasites that feed off my existence"
I'll take a stand against this age and all those that persecute my beliefs and the heart, those that feel it right for me not to think for myself.
"as eye -- skin the burn to relearn the royal plan
somewhere out beyond the edges in the depths of spirit land"
I've dug and searched myself out spiritually. Now I'll re-learn God's plan (or the higher beings) in order to re-align and fight the war.
its authentic, apocalyptic destroyer
damaging challengers -- resurrection, disorder
a monument of crisis - eye strikes this - your dead
line my nest with your soul -- cleansed in bloodshed
Just can't... crack it!
"commanding the mic -- striking up a verb-fest
mass destruction is my function - time to put it to the test
in combat --- attacking since way back
in the days eye drew praise for the way that eye slayed facts
formulating flows in revolutionary science
its the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance"
She's the self-proclaimed prophet from the anarchist alliance. She has been given praise for speaking against the "order" of the world. Formulating enlightenment to destroy what's been set in stone by the world.
"shaking up the world -- just like the 2nd coming of christ
-- when eye write -- thrice divine with this goddess sight
She uses threes a lot in her songs. This makes me hint that her religion might be Wiccan or witchcraft. I even saw her in concert with a pentagram on her buckle (not to be confused with the upside down one that represents satanism). But the thing is, witchcraft is a very personal religion, so this could no doubt be her own religion. And when she writes its magick to the world, hitting threefold as she is given the godess's sight (and power).
wurdz will flow -- wounds will grow
ewe know -- bones will be exposed from the force that eye unload
My words or words in general are powerful enough to hit and change people.
its THE SOUL EATER!! -- mic bleeder with the voice of chaos
eye got the nectar of the gods flowing from my mental pod"
Otep, like a lot of metal bands, has a way to make things look so negative when underneath they are in fact positive. She is spreading destruction through her voice, armed with the knowledge of the Gods in her mind. But if a place like Earth is evil, is the desctruction negative?
gather the flock -- alarm your block
tell them the shepherds have come & got the keys to unlock
People are like sheep. They follow the herd. So now gather everyone up, we have come to set you free.
a holy war -- thru your veins it courses
more lyrical artillery than the armed forces
The true holy war is the spiritual war. What you see in IRAQ is merely bubbling up from a much larger war going on in the universe within. This is the true war. And nothing physical could ever compare.
supernatural -- styles be volatile
its the mind manipulator -- the WAR CHILD
Here I come, the WAR CHILD, to manipulate your mind. To be aggressive and use whatever force I'll use for you to see the truth.
"COME!
SHADOW SOLDIERS!
we came to defy - ewe living life as a lie
we embryonic satellites need our freedom to fly
TO WATCH EWE DIE! -- agonizing cries are heard in stereo
eye'm visualizing battlefield scenarios
in the line of fire -- watching empires fall
into attack position -- ELIMINATE ALL!!! "
She's calling for her people. Her fans are her soldiers. And for that, I can't argue. We come to set people free from the lies of their lives and make a stand against the empire.
According to Sun Tzu's Art of War, you are told to destroy your enemy from within. Nothing's better then fighting propoganda in the very place you are forced to hear it.
