Mars Volta Lyrics

    ------ About the song Televators performed by Mars Volta

Ok, the lyrics might be abt that dudes death, but hasnt anyone thoguht abt the title? i mean come on, the lyrics have nothing to do with it. If you look up Jumproom, youll find that it is an elevator like room that teleports you...to guess where.. MARS! strange coincidence or what?

    ------ About the song The Widow performed by Mars Volta

It tells you the story inside the booklet inside the CD. All of these interpretations straying from the story of Cygnus seeking out vengeance of the murderers of his mother, Frances, are false. This is about a gender ambiguous person, most likely a male though, paying for sex with the AIDS-infected Cygnus. They both know he has it, but the Widow prefers to have someone with himt than sleep alone. It will bring him to death sooner which he believes will bring him to his deceased love sooner.

    ------ About the song Asilos Magdalena performed by Mars Volta

Just to clear all the misnomers that run wild on here.........
Ok. Asilos means asylum, shelter, home........NOT heaven or hell or whatever else i read here.
Ahem. Everyone is talking about a MUDDY body wtf is that he clearly clearly clearly says MI CUERPO DE LOBO.......it sounds like a LOVO in fluent spanish and it means WOLFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!! People need to polish their spanish or qtip them ears.....
Another thing, the ouija board was not a part of this album, it was in bedlam in goliath.

As per all other relations, i agree. There is a mix of kabbalistic knowledge throughout the albums song titles (Tetragrammaton, Day of the Baphomets) and his use of asilos magdalena in regards to nuns, chastitiy, asylums, spiritual anguish is heavy...while the lyrics perfectly describe the various aspects of Samael/The morning star/Satan/the seducer and his descent to this world from above.
It seems to be a dialogue between two people, taken in any possible way.

Echo has it ALLLLLL wrong dont listen to them.....seems like they go online and randomly guess song lyrics cus it sounds like theyre talking about some random love song. anyways. Love peace light. Mars volta bangs your mom on top of amps every damn night.

    ------ About the song Inertiatic ESP performed by Mars Volta

Yes, this song is about their friend who is in a coma. This person actually existed and he was very sick from drug addiction. The whole album is about his visions from this coma. From what I understand, he had killed himself when he snapped out of it because he was so upset that all the crazy visions were over and he had to come back to reality.

    ------ About the song Dyslexicon performed by Mars Volta

    ------ About the song Viscera Eyes performed by Mars Volta

Amputechture DOES have a unifying theme, it's your problem if you don't know how to interpret Cedric's lyrics. Amputechture's theme is religions in general. Viscera Eyes is about Jesus Christ delirious and crucified. Find out the other songs by yourself. Bedlam In Goliath does have a unifying theme too, not as Octahedron. I've heard Noctourniquet will be a concept album, and that Cedric wrote a book which will be the basis for Noct.

    ------ About the song Tetragrammaton performed by Mars Volta

Pretty sure this is a story about a girl possessed by a demon named Rusbel, and a priest who attempts various methods of exorcism to lure the demon out. Why do I think this? If you google "Rusbel demon" you'll find an article that references The Times in 1850 or something where a girl is reported to be possessed by a devil named Rusbel. The devil also supposedly spoke through the girl. Now, relate this to the lyrics.

The first few verses are from the priest's perspective, who starts the exorcism. The chorus relates to the girl speaking in tongues, a hatred towards god, etc etc. The next few verses are the priest reflecting on how the girl had never really been strong in her faith.

Then the devil tells the girl to act as though he is gone etc etc. He goes into hiding within her. Then a few examples of the various exorcism methods. And then, of course, the conclusion where it is revealed to the listener that the girl is dead but the devil is still possessing her in secret, with

"They'll check my wrist, I'll faint a pulse
I'm not the human, You thought I was"

    ------ About the song L'Via L'Viaquez performed by Mars Volta

To the guy who wants to know why so many Americans comment this song hmmm maybe because The Mars Volta is from El Paso Texas (that's in the U.S)

Also John Frusciante ionly plays with them occasionally if your a fan of at the drive in and the mars Volta you can tell the difference between Cedric and Johns playing styles
