11.05.23 | and to forget, the 2 vocal and lyrical climaxes to the masterpiece frances the mute are pretty much "ooooo yaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" and "ooooo yaaaaaaaaaaa.....!!!!"
What beautiful, genius poetry |

11.05.23 | All I'm saying is I hear a lot of singing and ranting about it, but no actual political coup. Maybe next year guize! |

11.05.23 | Maybe they just like songs that they can picture themselves singing visually... (the least important part) no matter how stupid, pointless, or even unflattering
(It's like Cedric's stupid haircut and expression was made to deliver "POACHERS IN YOUR HOMEEEEE POACHERS IN YOUR HOMEEEEEE) |

11.05.23 | If I must listen to something off Amputechture, it would have to be Meccamputechture sped up 45%. It is catchy, but a faster play definitely delivers the laughs, which is what this collumn REALLY cares about |

11.06.23 | Yup there's sooo many live shows where Cedric is just singing so off and repetitively and all over the place. I believe they do have good in them, and have written a good amount of decent material, but ya wayyy too much trash. I think I'm pretty good at keeping hate out of my psyche. |

11.06.23 | This is just off the top of my head:
'The nuns are burning wheels again'
'Perspired, the trophy shelves made room for his collapse. She was a mink handjob in sarcophagus heels'
'Trapped in this tower made of amber for too long
All I can do is forgive your broken heart'
'I've always wanted to eat glass with you again'
'As flies have walls for feet'
'You've got that guilty smile that culminates in Bedlam'
'Dress the tapeworms as pets' |

11.06.23 | Bloma, I agree that sometimes the lyrics are totally non-sensical where you want something more real, but sometimes that's just what they want/their style... That being said they have written and performed stuff that's taboo: you shouldn't really talk about "opiate capitulation" in the same way artists shouldn't be talking about (sexual) gangbangs.. Maybe it's ok for some, but talking about it openly like it's ok isn't really good. |

Oh yeah totally, I freaking love The Mars Volta and Cedric's lyrics, these were just some of my favourites. It's like they make sense intuitively and emotionally, on a deeper level than the surface. |
