I promise you guys there is nothing, absolutely NOTHING more incomprehensible then MARS VOLTA lyrics. Just reading them makes me want find the nearest anorexic emo kid and stab them repeatedly in the face.
just as he hit
The ground
They lowered a tow that
Stuck in his neck to the gills
Fragments of sobriquets
riddle me this
three half eaten corneas
who hit the aureole
Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground
You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway
Auto-da-fé
A capillary hint of red
Only this manupod
Crescent in shape has escaped
The house half the way
Fell empty with teeth
That split both his lips
Mark these words
One day this chalk outline will circle this city
Was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face
A room colored charlatan
Hid in a safe
Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground
You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway
Auto-da-fé
A capillary hint of red
Only this manupod
Crescent in shape has escaped
I didn't post the whole thing just to be merciful. Poison the Well is a close second.
How many times do I have to turn the switch
to warn you about jumping in the back of the cars.
WTF??
Oh and Zad that song is obviously about a woman who is not well liked by the writer. Dani Filth is infamous for his use of puns and word play. The term gilded cage is used in reference to someone who lives in luxury but not freedom. In other words, a golden cage is nice, but it's still a cage. So a gilded cunt is refering to a woman who is fine as hell but she's still a total bitch. I'll break this down for you.
Quote:
your thin pretence overstretched and sickly
Feigns love and light a long time laid in the grave
The song is about a woman who sleeps with men to get their money. (hence the "dirty little gold digger" accusation) This woman pretends to be in love which is the "pretence" that is "overstretched and sickly" because she has done it so many times.
Quote:
My preference leans to killing you quickly
Scissored in the gizzard
That a heart no more maintains
This is pretty straight forward. Her heart is cold and dead which is why it no longer "maintains" any vital organ that might be stabbed. (or scissored)
Any more questions?
