Viscera Eyes Lyrics

Cover art for Viscera Eyes lyrics by Mars Volta, The

y. Viscera Eyes:

Viscera is an organ that resides in the cavities of your body. People believe that eyes are the window to the soul; now going with the religious undertones of Amputechture... God/Spirituality is often the answer to the hole (Emptiness) that is otherwise unfulfillable with secular means. So without God/Spirituality: our soul is nothing more than a organ that fills the cavities in our body.

"In your viscera eyes Cateracts close the blinds Let me come drown by your side"

Cateracts = a film that develops on the eyes which causes blindness. Now going with the metaphor, the film which blinds our soul is created from the absence of God.
