O.D.'d on Life Itself
Life's Seductive Temptations: A Journey into Power and Force
Lyrics
How could I fool you, I rest and assure you
Expressing disbelief at deceiving someone, seeking to reassure them.
Take it off from here and put you on the line, yeah
Shifting attention away from oneself and onto the listener.
Your back to the pistol and iron bullets whistle
Feeling threatened, as if facing danger with guns and bullets.
The landscape's open and the world is mine, it's still mine.
Sense of owning the world despite the open landscape.
O-D'd on life, life itself
Overdosed on the essence of life itself.
(O-D'd on life itself, O-D'd on life itself, the power of powers
Reiteration of the overdose on life's power and influence.
And once luminous spell)
Reflecting on a previously bright and powerful spell.
O-D'd on life, life itself
Re-emphasizing the overdose on life's essence.
(O-D'd on life itself, O-D'd on life itself, crumpled like grave cloths and
Again, highlighting the overwhelming experience and its aftermath.
Hipped to the help and you've)
Suggesting being dependent on assistance due to the overwhelming situation.
O-D'd on life itself
Repetition of the overdose on life itself.
Writings appear on the wall
Noticing writings or signs appearing on the wall.
The curtains part and landscape fall
As if witnessing a revelation or unveiling of a new reality.
There, the writing's done, in blood
Describing the completion of writings with a dark imagery.
Like a mummy's inscription and a bat-wing tongue
Comparing the writings to ancient inscriptions and sinister symbols.
Well then the mouth of the cave will open up wide
Suggesting an imminent revelation or discovery.
Wide as the world that's mine, it's mine, it's still mine
Feeling a sense of immense ownership or control.
So don't you fear the trade in life
Encouraging not to fear the exchange or transaction of life's essence.
Life loves force but force loves life, yeah
Highlighting the mutual relationship between life and force.
This wedding by heaven was made up in hell
Describing a union or partnership made under unfavorable circumstances.
With the victim as bride and life, life itself
Depicting a victim marrying life itself in an unexpected manner.
O-D'd on life, life itself
Reiteration of the overdose on life's essence.
(O-D'd on life itself, O-D'd on life itself, the power of powers
Reflecting on the immense power and brilliance of life's influence.
And once luminous spell)
Recalling a past powerful and luminous experience.
O-D'd on life, life itself
Re-emphasizing the overdose on life's essence.
(O-D'd on life itself, O-D'd on life itself, crumpled like grave cloths and
Reiteration of the overwhelming experience and its consequences.
Hipped to the help and you've)
Hinting at dependence on assistance due to the overwhelming situation.
O-D'd on life itself
Repeating the overdose on life itself.
O-D'd on life, you O-D'd on life itself
Directly addressing the listener, stating their overdose on life.
O-D'd on life, you O-D'd on life itself
Reiteration of the listener's overdose on life's essence.
O-D'd on life, life itself.
Final emphasis on overdosing on life's essence.
