What the fuck is this song about?

Some of the stupidist lyrics I have ever heard. Please someone explain.

JETPILOT
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay,
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay.

My horse, is a shackled old man,
His, his remorse, was that he couldn't survey,
The skies, right before,
Right before they went gray,
My horse and my remorse,
Flying over a great bay

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay,
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay.

My, source, is the source of all creation,
Her, discourse, is that we all don't survey
The skies, right before,
Right before they go gray,
My source, and my remorse,
Flying over a great bay,

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay,
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay,
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay.

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay,
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay,
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay.

It's about the power elite, and how they do business forecasting.

 

[Gandalf]

they do have very confusing lyrics, but the lyrics seem to be about the day before a war or something like that. at least, thats what i think.

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Song about governments ordering pilots to drop Nukes that will kill lotsa pilots:

"horse on a jet pilot"

My horse, is a shackled old man,
His, his remorse, was that he couldn't survey,
The skies, right before,
Right before they went gray,
My horse and my remorse,
Flying over a great bay

old man, could be uncle sam, or the president, skies go gray, nuclear explosian, great bay, any body of water.

Pretty straight forward lyrics.

I thuroughly enjoy SOAD's Toxicity, it was a great album, because I enjoy agreeing and arguing with it. They bring up some great issues and arguements. They are nu-metal, but they are the best nu-metal. =)

The lyrics certainly aren't stupid. The lyrics in Prison are though, and a few other songs. That's why I like this album, I've never yelled at a CD, or argued with one, until Toxicity came along.

 

[bleed for me]

their lyrics aren't always as stupid as they seem...a lot of their lyrics are political, some of them are just plain stupid...


if u want stupid, check out anal cunt

Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks and the Clash sucked too
Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks and the Clash sucked too
Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks and the Clash sucked too
Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks, Rancid Sucks and the Clash sucked too

It's what Kush said. I love System of a Down's lyrics. As well as their songs. Especially Aerials, since I figured out the guitar riff to that.

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Hmmm.. well, I think i'll listen toi tox now... once my Fruit Psychobells...a Seed Combustible finishes...


AND WHERE THE HELL IS CHRIS?? he was sposed to come and play HOMEWORLD today!

he probably crashed and dead.

 

[Adam]

Im pretty sure Aerials is about acid.

 

[blakmetalemp]

Thanks for the input. I guess the lyrics seemed stupid because I didnt understand what they were talking about.

 

[Kushantaiidan]

I could say opeth lyrics are stupid, because I often don't understand them.

But, it's not the lyrics that are stupid...

 

[SaintJoshy]

Ya they do have some pretty cool lyrics. Atleast its not about love like every other song you usually hear. I mean songs about love are cool and stuff, but most songs are about it and not about what happends in the world. I love deer dance on the new album because it talks about like the riots and all. Its a pretty wild song. Atleast they are somethin different to listen too.

Apparently from an interview I read, Serj said it was about a horse locking eyes with a jet pilot in the sky. Within that miniscule amount of time, both the horse and the jet pilot saw through each others eyes, thus the horse was pretty wired because he saw what it was like to be in the air and fly. What the pilot got out of it was not so clear

 

[Wolff]

I think Toxicity is a better album than BWP.

An interesting interpretation. =)

The S/T is better than Tox.

Possibly true.

Therefore S/T + Tox are both better than BWP.

 

[Sadistik]

You people are on crack! Well, at least Wolff, for sure
No way is horrible, simplistic Nu-metal band better than BWP. While it is not my fave Opeth album, it is still genius, which is more than can be said for SOAD.
