________________________________________
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb
One shape
One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me in here
I can almost hear you scream
Give me
One more medicated peaceful moment
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Because I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Gotta cut away Clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away Clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you

Eh? Nah man - I'm just telling her the story of Orestes, the Greek mythological figure. I'm not telling her how to interpret the song at all. I agree entirely; if everyone knew what every song was 'supposed' to mean, then it would be very difficult for people to have personal interpretations that mean a great deal to them... But Greek Mythology kicks ass, and it's an interesting story. What's wrong with telling the story?

This and any song can have many meanings. The way the writer meant, the way you interpret it, and the way others interpreted it and then passed onto you. Let the song be what it is.

It's actually pronounced 'Oresteez', I believe. It's from Greek mythology. OK long story short:
Orestes' father sacrificed his daughter to gain favour with the trade winds in the Trojan war. When he returned from the war, his wife (Orestes mother) murdered him. Orestes was in another city at the time, but when he returned a few years later, he murdered his mother in retribution for the murder of his father. Some say Orestes was not punished, others say he was murdered.
Matricide = Nasty :(

They're good but nothing compares to Tool. Maybe I haven't listened to enough of them.
