Tetragrammaton Lyrics

Tell me it's over, Rusbel awaits I've been to the surface
And nothing is there, Eyelids sank muffled
In the nerve aura sound, But when she awakes
Will she still be with us?

My heart is darkclots, Leap year is late
How did you get here, Ask...

    I think this song is about a man in morning after a loved one died,

    Ouroborous, do your research. The words are not meaningless. The lyrics of each song are about something.
    Especially this one. Cornici was a nun that was killed by a
    priest with a long red beard because she was belived to be
    possessed. They stuffed a rag in her mouth and she gagged
    to death. "In the end they just gagged me to make him come
    out". Also he makes reference to his red hair. As well as
    so much else.

    Actually, Omar writes all the music on the guitar (he already has two more albums written and unrecorded for MV alone) and then Cedric shouts out random words. It's, technically, meaningless. Though it follows a them, there is no "underlying message" to any Mars Volta songs. Do your research.

    Another one of those increasingly popular kick-God-in-the-face (mock his holy, personal name) and blame and slander Him for the spiritual crimes committed (in his name) by FALSE religious rebels against Him songs. Let's hear it for Armageddon coming soon though - to clear God's name. Hooray, hooray, hooray...

    Google the following : "Sister Maricica Irina Cornici" and it will all make sense.

    More symbolic imagery here than anything to invoke a feeling of menace and mysticism.

    Moreover, in the many frantic, but meaningful, metaphors-- we find that there is an occult fringe beyond the veil of words.
