Universal Hall Pass - Katrinah Josephina [HD]

Lyrics:

Katrinah Josephina is no longer so they say
She disappeared one year ago and not a trace remains
All the theories are just hearsay as to why she disappeared,
Some say she was abducted and some say she drowned in fear.
And what a joy it is to be the only one who knows,
Katrinah Josephina journeys 90 leagues below.
She's singing the praises of angels and sages.
Oh when the pills wear off, the symptoms will return
You may have found relief - the cause has still yet to be learned.

As a child she was quite mystified in searching for the soul,
So with spade in hand she soon began to dig a little hole.
One league and 15 years she ventured down her tunneled plight,
And was greeted by a troupe of dancing demons stanced to fight.
Each demon bid her, "Say our names, as our names you should know",
But til such time your chains will bind us follow where you go!"
And what a joy it is to be the only one who knows
Katrinah Josephina soon identified her foes!
Yes she's still singing the praises of angels and sages.
Oh when the pills wear off, the demons will return
Unless you're brave enough to face the ruler of their world.

After years upon the surface higher learning taught her well,
That the value of the human soul's a dollar earned in hell.
So one year ago upon this night she dragged me to her hole,
Her waist was roped, "Don't dare let go!" Her voice resounded from below...

Keep singing the praises of angels and sages.
Cause when the pills wear off

You know, one of the problems with being an SF fan is that it's too easy to take stuff like this literally.

I read /One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest/ back in the 60s, when I was in Jr. High, and thought Chief Bromden's hallucinations were actually happening to him.

And now that just happened again. I'm hearing this as straight fantasy.

The last part where it plays parts backwards is creepy. That is also the part that causes me to think this is about some sort of mental illness or insanity. Cause when the pills wear off... *backwards incomprehensible words that sound creepy* It's like the pills are the only thing keeping her sane.

@BrideOfEdward Personally, I prefer to think that Katrinah is meditating in an attempt to deal with the problems for which "the pills" are prescribed. "One league and 15 years" might cover the depths she reaches within herself and the time it takes to do so (meditation is DIFFICULT). And since she "identified her foes", she can now fight them more effectively. The question the becomes whether she will be allowed to do so, since pills make money for Big Pharma and meditation is free...

@BrideOfEdward (continued from my previous post) treat Katrinah, but failed, and couldn't save her from going insane. :O B- The narrator is a hallucination of Katrinah's who 'took control' of Katrinah and sent her sanity packing.

C-The narrator is actually Katrinah who is describing her own descent into madness . Another theory is that Katrinah herself is the narrator's hallucination, who is finally banished once the narrator takes control of her mental disease.

Lots of theories! xD

I LOVE this song, and I love its story even more. :)

I think that the song can describe a whole bunch of different scenarios, but I think it defiantly has to do with schizophrenia. One theory is that Katrinah Josephina is a schizophrenic who is having trouble accepting her illness and finally succumbs to the disease (when she is pulled down the hole, which is symbolic of her failing sanity.) The narrator, in my opinion, could either be:

a- the doctor (or one of many doctors) that tried to (con)

First time I ever listened to this...and I have to say that it is oddly addicting. xD

And as for what I think this song is about...I think it could be taken a few ways. Sounds oddly like Katrina is the one singing maybe? That or it is being sung by the point of view of someone being killed by Katrina since of the part saying 'she dragged me down'

[IKtheVS]

this song is about the singer killing katrina josephina!
