I disagree. Everyone knows Ogre was outspoken about animal rights. I am an activist myself, so I really get this one. I strongly believe it is about the hopeless feeling we all get when we realize we aren't getting very far with peaceful protest. I'm also a trained linguist, some of the lyrics are wrong. It's
wasted muse,
that's all they see blue
hot blood, guilt
etc etc
and also, he mentions, quite clearly, animal testing.
sloppy, mincing, eye-dropping biopsy.
companies like johnson and johnson often burn animal's eye to test their products.
also,
dog's body comatose,
torchlight roast
disinterest
etc
the military used to do tests where they would (really) burn dogs alive to test flamethrowers, the dogs did eventually lose consciousness. Nobody cares about these things, and if people knew what we did to our animals, they would be shocked.
blue is someone who is discouraged. hence, 'blue'.
why call at all, blue?
hot lines eventual decline
nobody is listening
but,
with the right attitude,
you will succeed blue
resent that discontent
etc
people don't even think about these things even though they made entire albums about animal rights. It is very important to Ogre.
@Luciferi I appreciate your thoughts here and I'm grateful that you've shed a little light on the cave walls of this shrouded song. I have one question though- Who is the Warlock?

To me this song, on the very surface, is about Charles Manson and the destruction and fear he left in his wake. Charles Manson is the Warlock, and it's and endearing term to name him as. Charlie is a rotten showstopper, a skinpopper- a babbler dabbler. Someone who dabbles in psycho babble. Charlie is a self confessed criminal putting stock in games and listening to Beatle's...

Charlie is a self confessed criminal putting stock in games and listening to Beatle's talk back rock....with no subsistance, etc etc.
But looking deeper into the one long line, pulling back the perfectly chosen words we see the deeper meaning of the song, which is that humans are a violent race by nature. Listen to the words and watch them match the video. There is so much here, so much hidden and so much to learn as a violent species...

I'm sorry. In my response "and it's and endearing term" should have actually read as "and it's NOT AN endearing term."
