[marsvolta977]

[racethis2007]

Holy fuck drums!!!!

[MrSamuel33]

just managed to nail this on drums. FUCK YES,

[jessy8281]

este tema me gusta mas en vivo, igual que la mayoria de las canciones de tmv! sera porque la banda suena muy bien en vivo

[mrice102888]

I honestly see this band as revolutionary as Jimi Hendrix was in the 60's.

[ka24love]

3 thumbs up to the black drummer

[felipeantequera1]

Vou ver sabadão SWU

Vai ser muito foda

[MrShishkebab]

what a song!!!!!



[Infuzor]

1:43, goddamn funky shit, wooohoooo

[roflknife24]

In my opinion, this is The Mars Volta's best song.

[H4RM0N1C5]

3:55 BOOOOOOOOOM

[vollkommladden]

it's one of my favourite songs of the mars volta!

[4NrAGS]

what the fuck? this drummer comes mad hard!

[NosotrosEterno]

Finest track of 2008. No contest.

[StoneColdSergio]

I need a brand new skin.

That's my line for this year.

[Adjassou]

No need to apologize. :) Better this than nothing. Just makes me wonder. Does anybody else has same problem?

[sabbathsoldja]

I'm not sure! I just made this photo compilation the day the album came out to showcase the song... So sorry its not the official video.

[Adjassou]

As is Rammstein's Mann gegen Mann.

[Mrsocky42]

lol I like Rammstein though I don't know what they are saying.

[Mrsocky42]

I like Rammstein but I find that video retarded.

[Adjassou]

Wwhere is the original music video and why its not "available in my country"? Are they trying to say its too harsh for my innocent eyes?

[error204]

that's freedom, TEAM AMERICA now is protecting us (foreign countries) from seeing things that we should not.

[Ehleeena]

i luv cedric! he looks pete parkkonen. greetings from finnland

[tlonto]

Ilyena is a reference to Ilyena Vasilievna Mironov, which is the birth name of actress Dame Helen Mirren. "I've named a song 'Ilyena' after the real name of the actress Helen Mirren because she is my favorite actress and the song is a little lighthearted and different from the subject matter.

I think Omar said this. Found on Wikipedia

[twisisyummy]

im not exactly sure what it means either, i didnt create the song or lyrics that go along with it, but I beleive that redlik has a good point about what the song is about which is rape, since listening to it again it does go along with it but what i got from it at first was that by need a brand new skin, its about

starting life all over again a fresh start, having wasted valuable time in life thanks to the influence of drugs and street life

[scaremongerR]

actually... i'm fairly sure goliath is speaking, and saying it wants a new skin, to be brought into physical form once again.

[barrywinehousexp]

And has a Penis that can Rip through the Very Fabric of Time . . .

[SyriusFerreal]

I tell my girl that all the time lol

[OneOfTheFire]

@barrywinehousexp

lol 1:29.

omar's actually in space in this photo.

and that light to the left of him is where his penis ripped through the very fabric of time.

[17Revolution76]

@barrywinehousexp A PAIN INSIDE that can rip through the very fabric of time...lol

My friend thought he said that, too. They're not that kind of band!!

[Roque07]

this song is great but i don't get the meaning of the lyrics. :/

[redlik]

its all up for interpretation but i think its about a rape , and the ouja board trying to get out, "i need a brand new skin, incarnated debts." the spirit needs out of the ouja board,

and the spirit starts to tell its story of why it was imprisoned." follow me tonight, follow me into oblivion..if you could see where i am, youd touch the hand thats touching sin"

"cant..through the lens, bleeding through your sanctuary" spirit see's his victim bleeding through the vagina. intention accident

[iMartha182]

is this cd good?

cuz im gonna buy it soon

[NiuikNiuik]

sick song

[satanicsquirrel01]

i can't believe this is named after helen mirren.

look it up if you don't believe me.

[oblique65]

i've lived on mundy street!

[thalidomidechild]

i don't think they can get better than Frances the Mute, personally (even though this cd is very good), but this song is my favorite on the album.

[aggiematt86]

Personally I didn't care for Frances, but I do agree that this is their best song on Goliath, and this is probably my second favorite album of theirs after De-Loused.

[Teromi]

UMMM BLASPHEMY!

Frances is by far their best!

[Punkwit]

I can see how you would see that. And at first it was like that for me. I think each album was like that now that I look back on it. But I think each album has got better and better, just need to listen to it more. That was my experience anyway. :)

[dynamitei]

omfg!ppl my name is ilyena!this so weird my parents named me after a princess in a book this is insane!

[sabbathsoldja]

That's a really cool name - I hope you like the song!

[dynamitei]

lol its aight

[asspants101]

This is by far the best song on the cd.

[dynamitei]

swweeeeeet

[mirrenmaniac]

LOL: This song is actually named after my goddess, Helen Mirren - Helen is half Russian and her birth name is Ilyena Mironov.

[xBlackWaterxx]

@dynamitei the princess of all sluts lol

[harusame009]

Dude. This is totally my favorite song now. The part in the video where the police officer gets fed up and pulls out his gun is my favorite part of the song, just cuz the guitar and Cedric's voice sound amazing, yet somehow haunting together.

Kickass.

[pololife]

such a sick song. the mars volta have killed it. killed it!!!!!! instant classic with this album!

[voltachik]

breathtaking

[MaxReebo5]

it sounds a bit like Viscera Eyes

this is great!

[chainin333]
