The Mars Volta is: [Cedric Bixler Zavala] - Vocals [Omar Alfredo Rodriguez-Lopez] - Guitar [Jon Philip Theodore] - Drums [Juan Alderete] - Bass [Isaiah Ikey Owens] - Keyboards It started in the summer of 2001. [Cedric Bixler's] and [Omar Rodriguez's] (both from At the Drive-In) fame had been playing in their dub band De Facto with [Ikey Owens] and [Jeremy Ward]. They had been playing for years, but after ATDI split up, De Facto teamed up with drummer [Jon Theodore] (Golden) and bassist [Eva Gardner] to start The Mars Volta. They went on tour with The Anniversary in the fall of 2001. They got very mixed responses to the material. Some people expected another ATDI, some just wanted to see what the buzz was about, and a whole lot of people wondered who the freaks with the afros we More... (Submit New Mars Volta Lyrics) (Submit New Mars Volta Lyrics) Review about Mars Volta there's a book about the whole disc!! | Reviewer: claudia ------ About the song The Widow performed by Mars Volta like someone said, the whole disc is about one general story, and every song's about a character... cygnus is a prostitute who has aids, and rapes and has sex with no protection, all the songs have a reference about that, the widow is a woman who, when she realizes the truth, preferred to keep having sex with him despite the illness, that way she'll be sooner with her husband.. by the way, cygnus is the swan constellation, and the myth says that greek gods became swans to seduce girls... and I dont speak english very well... sorry.... The meaning | Reviewer: Zeta9966 ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta Upon reading this, I think it's actually about just one of many prostitutes that have been killed in the ongoing Juarez slayings. It's about him refusing to rest until he brings these sickos to justice (death or whatever). If you look back into At The Drive In, you will find that they are very passionate about this subject. yaaa | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Widow performed by Mars Volta ---what's funny is almost everyone here mentions the diary thing, but they don't get the whole story. some are saying it was jeremy ward's diary found after his death. the real story is jeremy micheal ward (cousin of jim ward who worked with cedric and omar in at the drive-in and now part of sparta) who then worked with cedric and omar in mars volta until his death (cedric and omar say that heavy drug use ended with his death) found a diary (i cant remember how he got it) that wasn't his but after reading it he realized that the author had a very similar life to his own, especially that they had both been adopted. but jeremy ward does not write lyrics, although he may be a part in writing the concept, and during deloused in the comatorium he worked with cedric to create the story of cerpin taxt, based on the suicide of julio venegas (believed to have been tormented by once at the drive-in member ben rodriguez), close friend of mars volta and at the drive-in members, who once played in cedric's old garage bands before at the drive-in. anyway, the actual lyricists are omar rodriguez and cedric bixler, so whether they chose to write about jermey's death (i actually do not know when he died, or if frances the mute was released while he was alive), or about the diary's author, or about the key points in jermey and the author's lives that were shared, or simply about the diary itself, you would have to go through the lyrics and figure that part out. i havent gone through these lyrics, but what everyone seems to forget is the frances the mute single. frances the mute was supposed to be the title track for the album, which "decodes" all of the songs, but didnt make it in the album so it was released as a single. i don't know exactly how this works, whether its literally a code that you need to put together like a puzzle, or if its simply a song with lyrics that are easier to understand. this website seems to have something figured out that i dont, i dont understand the litle letters and titles they have inserted into each set of lyrics at the top, but when i looked at the lyrics to frances the mute (either that or casandra gemini) these titles are inserted in-between parts of the song. perhaps it is a more logical complicated puzzle, but im too lazy to figure it out right now, just wanted to give people the info i do have I Never Do this but so many people are off | Reviewer: Andy Flores ------ About the song Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore performed by Mars Volta Frances the mute is a story told to us thru cedric and the groups instruments, all you have to do is tune in and prepare to be amazed. i'm 16 and have been closely listening to these two amazing musicians since their at the drive in era, they are simply original to the bone. 4chan | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed performed by Mars Volta If i remember correctly, one of cedric's friends was an classical /b/tard, who got tired of the shitstorm around him (the classical, gf left etc etc) and "became a hero" (committed a 'comical' suicide, posted a thread on 4chan before that where he requested something concerning his former workplace[like hack it or some shit]) and then cedrik made the song Arrival | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Inertiatic ESP performed by Mars Volta Julian is completely wrong. Inertiatic ESP means "Intertiatic Ectopic Shapeshifting Penance-propulsion". This part of the story of Cerpin taxt is his arrival in The Comatorium where the Unhydriate sentences him to be prepared to rule. The part: "As the words dribbled off of it's chin It said I'm lost I'm lost" is the Unhydriate telling Cerpin that he is lost. A sort of insult. Parts of the other lyrics are foreshadowing. The Secret of these lyrics Revealed | Reviewer: Miranda McKennitt ------ About the song The Widow performed by Mars Volta Come on. It's about Jimmi Morrison. The Widow, because he is dead and she listens to his music and understands how one can love him and cherish him. How can you miss it. And English is not my mother's tongue... These guys... | Reviewer: FakeKraid ------ About the album Octahedron performed by Mars Volta The Mars Volta just have the freshest sh*t out there. At first listen, this album doesn't seem like them at all; one thinks "Have they gone tame on us?" But on a deeper examination, the effects they create in the songs in this album with the minimalistic devices they use are absolutely insane. And inimitable, from the breathless but unhurried anxiety of Teflon to the greasy, sticky miasma of Luciforms. One-hundred percent worth getting. Almost significant | Reviewer: FakeKraid ------ About the song This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed performed by Mars Volta I don't know if their words are cryptic or not. It seems to me that they hover persistently just on the border of meaning, without ever quite crossing it. As if they would talk about a subject by surrounding its outline with words that are almost relevant, but not quite, so that you can see the real meaning in the negative space. Mmmm | Reviewer: Muka ------ About the song Asilos Magdalena performed by Mars Volta I think the "idea" is wrong Im actually a Mexican guy... if you search on hystori, you'll find Asilos magdalena was an "organization" if we go to The time of Jesus, we will find "Magdalena" a prostitute who changed her ways in order to "follow the Lord" Magdalena asylums was a place of "catolical help", nuns, priests and fanatics, had the "idea" of sending the "prostitutes" and bad girls to there, they thinked it was some kind of "good place" in wich the womas would change her ways to a better ones... The truth is indeed, scaring and gross.. In Those asylums,the womans suffered things like raping, abuse, they were treated like niggers between white people. Here's the "logo" La mujer que nunca ha conocido la polución de un simple pensamiento malo - ¡la mujer cuyo vientre virginal nunca ha sido cruzado por las sombras de un pensamiento de pecado! - ¡la mujer que respira pureza, inocencia y gracia, recibe a la mujer cuyo aliento es la pestilencia del infierno The woman who has never known remorse of a bad thought - The woman whose virginal uter never crossed the shadows of a sinful thought!! - The woman that breaths purity, inocence and grace, receives the woman whos breath is the pestilent hell This is mere shit, that thing was pretty bad... The song is awesome and the lyric is also very very "strong"... but it's only the truth undoubtely... Im a Catolic guy, dont blame me, the song is awesome in all possible ways and the lyric only reflects the "truth beneat the rose" asilos magdalena was a fucking darning hell. Cheers Why, MV, why? | Reviewer: FakeK ------ About the song Teflon performed by Mars Volta So, has anyone noticed that the minute the MV starts to write music that normal people could possibly appreciate, their lyrics become more f***ed up than ever? (I say this in the most glowingly positive sense possible.) Drums! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wax Simulacra performed by Mars Volta Gotta love the drums on this whole album, but especially on Wax Simulacra. The double bass drum hits are fantastic, and must have been done with one pedal? The hi-hat is played simultaneously. Anyway, great song. I love it, but... | Reviewer: Araceli ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta when i hear this song (i'm hispanic girl, my english isn't good.. haha) i've tried to understand.. but, i can't.. i mean, i understand than the song is about a girl Elvia, but.. the part when he sings in spanish is totally wrong, i mean, has a BIG inconsistency between oration and oration.. whatever, i love TMV.. :) apparatus must be unearthed | Reviewer: louisiana ------ About the song This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed performed by Mars Volta i just thought it was some freemason jargon about how they are keeping a secret and it must be unearthed. it may be an apparatus of some sort that only they know of. also i saw the cover of one of their albums. all seeing eye and double headed eagle just wrapped it up for me. but i am cool with it all.. my dad is one of them dudes. i dont know what its all about but apaprently they have secrets and altars. there you go. thats my imput ;) Yes awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta I got introduced to these guys by ghwt too! But it came to my attention that they were a good band when i one day decided to listen them on last.fm. Now im going to one of their concerts here in L.A. lol. its pretty fucking awesome their lyrics and music i like percussion the most mostly because i;m a percussion player too. i sound like a poser dont i. Good song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Roulette Dares (This is the Haunt) performed by Mars Volta Im a fairy big fan of TMV. As a bass player I honestly don't pay much attention to lyrics which is why don't mind Cedric's bat shit insane lyrics. You guys can try to make sense of them, but not sure if there is any. If there is a meaning, it means he's being pretentious just for the sake of being so. Which annoys me to no end! haha. After saying this, I love this song and the band a lot. One of my favorite bands. Thank god I don't listen to lyrics though. My roommate primarily listens to lyrics so he's not a huge fan of the band. He likes the music and the melodies he sings, but the lyrics stop him from liking them a lot. haveanypoint? | Reviewer: musk ------ About the song Tetragrammaton performed by Mars Volta i agree with everyone that liked this song and this band. I f.ing hate when people say "this is nothing compaqred toZappa""" is not the idea, asshole,. and if you care much to read, pleas dont. no one ask you for your crap. grate comments, genius sound like this. fuck everyone who dont like it. tmv | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Televators performed by Mars Volta i saw tmv in 2005 with system of a down they were good but it was sometimes hard to know when one song ended and another started i had a chance to meet cedric after the concert he was skateboarding outside their bus he is a really nice down to earth guy love his hair little help:) | Reviewer: devon ------ About the song Televators performed by Mars Volta Don't be a fucking idiot. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/8/09 Do research before you say something. This song and the entire album is based on Julio Venegas, who was the lead singer's friend who actually jumped to his death. He was in a coma after a failed attempt to kill himself with rat poison. He saw amazing things in his coma that he couldn't ever see in real life. So he jumped. I read the book about it, it's really abstract and it's amazingly poetic. annyone know what the book is called??? does it really matter? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Miranda, That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore performed by Mars Volta i am a big into lyrics and i do care what a song is about and try to analyze the story line. but as far as Cedrik's lyrics are concerned... i give up. the guy is a Salvador Dali with words. so just try take it all in. dont really concentrate on the lyrics. just enjoy the talent. who ever wrote the "you are all dumb" comment woke up on the wrong side of life. relax man.
