| | The Widow Lyrics Artist(Band):Mars Volta
Made of clove splintered shardes They're the kind that will talk Through a wheezing of coughs And I hear him every night In every pore And every time he just makes me warm Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Must I hide? Cause I'll never Never sleep alone Look at how they flock to him From an isle of open sores He knows that the taste is such Such to die for And I hear him every night On every street The scales that do slither Deliver me from… Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Then I'll hide Cause I'll never Never sleep alone Oh lord Said I'm bloodshot for sure Pale runs the ghost Swollen on the shore Every night in every pore The scales that do slither Deliver me from… Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Then I'll hide Cause I'll never Never sleep alone Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Let me die Cause I'll never Never sleep alone If you find some error in The Widow Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about The Widow there's a book about the whole disc!! | Reviewer: claudia | 12/6/09 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.... yaaa | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/22/09 ---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 The Secret of these lyrics Revealed | Reviewer: Miranda McKennitt | 10/19/09 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... My view on the widow | Reviewer: niqui | 5/11/09 first of all Cucaracha you have to remember taht this is based on a diary that Jeremy Ward found so it could be possible that this song is from a woman's point of view. Also I really think that everyone connects to this song on a different level and has their own view on it. I think this song is about a girl who is probably innocent and naieve and falls for a guy who shows her a side of life she never intended to get into. The fasting black lungs line means he cannot breathe because he smokes...probably cloves which are notorious for having fiberglass in them which makes your lungs bleed. I believe that this guy is into drugs and a crazy lifestyle and this girl seems to fall deeper and deeper into it. She's so in love she cannot help her own demise even when it seems that he's forgotten her. To be closer to him she' does all the things he does and she ends up wanting to die in the end. frances the mute | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09 Frances the Mute in based on the story found in the diary/journal of deceased friend Jeremy Ward. He was adopted and the journal has entry's of his quest to find his real mother and father. Each song has a character name in the title (cyngus, the widow, miranda, cassandra). With the cd came a lot of emotion because the death was very recent, and Jeremy was very close to the members. None of The Mars Volta's lyrics are "just because they sound good". There is a story/concept behind each album which made me like them so much more. You can find a lot of interesting facts about their album's and songs on their site. correction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09 It's not Jeremy's story. "The story is inspired by a diary that Jeremy found in the backseat of a car while working as a repo man. (cedric says) He discovered he has a lot in common with it's author. He kept it and let us in on it. The diary told of the author being adopted and looking for his real parents. The names of each song are named after the people in the diary. Each person he meets sort of points him in the direction of his biological parents... It's a story of abandonment and addiction. As to weather of not it actual happened is not certain. That's something for the listener to find out. We can only provide the pieces" -says Cedric (www.themarsvolta.co.uk) first line | Reviewer: Diego | 4/5/09 The first line actually means that he is dead... lungs breath air the same way a stomach digests food... therefore for a lung to fast, it no longer takes in air... and without air we all know that we die. Opiate addiction | Reviewer: PaulIe o0 13 | 1/9/09 The song is much easier to figure out then everyone is trying to make it. It's speaking of opioid dependency, and is referenced by saying "it", "he", and "him", most commonly in the course. Now I'm not saying every time these words are used in the song they refer to addiction, "he" is also used referencing Jeremy Ward. The course speaks it all "And I hear him every night (him being opiates) In every pore And every time he just makes me warm (he) Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Must I hide? Cause I'll never Never sleep alone Look at how they flock to him (him being drugs) From an isle of open sores He knows that the taste is such (he being Jeremy) Such to die for" Hope i helped! No it goes like this.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/7/09 This song was the first song written after former band member, Jeremy Ward's death. It is a grim melodic waltz tribute to him. I believe the depths to which the lyrics reach speak of how, while experimenting with psychedelic drugs to fuel their intricate music, they will forever remember Ward's voice and it lingers in their ears and in their hearts forever. "Fasting black lungs" tell that the three members made a pact not to do drugs anymore, yet his lungs were covered in tar from such use. Re: abuse | Reviewer: Mmm | 12/6/08 Sure and this song has lots to analyse, but I doubt that it's about abuse mainly because of this one line "and everytime he just makes me warm". I doubt that anyone being abused would be feeling warm and fuzzy about the attacker.
