Birth Of The Anti Mother Lyrics

Cover art for Birth Of The Anti Mother lyrics by Norma Jean

I think this song is about lies and liars.

"From the bloodline of vicious serpents, a dreadful heart within a lovely shell. A demon's heart, but with the face of god."

Lies are serpents of man, 'cause we use them to reach our own goals or to hide the truth for somebody else - with other words: They work for us. Lies are often/mostly harmful, but we hide it, and make them look good and innocent.

"I guess a liar's heart is still true even if her lips are not."

So here he sums up that what we know/mean/think not always agrees with what we say.

"The vomit that flows out from your mouth has seeped into your chest. Searching for the strength to breathe in one last lie from you, but right now the grave seems so much easier."

So the more we lie, the more it infects ourself. We maybe start to "believe" our own lies, or our conscience takes damage so we start to lie even more.

"Searching for the strength to breathe in one last lie from you, but right now the grave seems so much easier."

This is a picture of how tired he is of all the liars. I don't think it's the persons he hates, but it's the acts.

"The fear of that devil in me... it comes from you. You're like the smoke in the window."

But by watching all the liars and experiencing the effect of the lie on his own body, he starts to be afraid of the "devil" inside himself. So his hate against the lies makes him realize that his is no better himself. When there is a fire, there is also smoke. But the first thing you see is the smoke, and it warns about the fire. So when he says "you're like the smoke in the window" he is saying, that all the liars have warned him about how he also can be.

"She comes for sorrow. She comes for lies."

This line is refereeing to the devil. The mother of the lies.

"We came here for blood. Did you? Yes or no? No one's getting out because we came for blood."

When someone is bleeding, he or she is hurt. So he is talking about fighting. Fighting against Satan and all the lies. And then he is asking if "you" also came to fight. This "you" can be us as listeners, but it can also be directed to Satan, and the we are included ind the "we" at the start.

"We're not breathing and i don't care, because no one's breathing... she's not breathing."

Breathing is a sign of living. But it's also a symbol of freedom. So he is saying, that in this fight we are not breathing. We are not free. We have to give up some of our freedom. 'Cause if we want to defeat Satan and get him out of our lives, we have to give up a lot of things. Such as sin... But then he says that "She is not breathing". And that's right! Satan is not free neither. He is already defeated, and can only harm us, if we are sinning. So the only territory where he rules is inside sin.

"Choke that witch out. Suffocate her. Choke her out."

So we can choke Satan out of our life and make him Suffocate by giving up on things like lying and other sins, cause then he got less and less freedom, and less and less breath.
