The Lotus Eater Ending

[perpetual_black_force]

What the hell is going on at the end of the lotus eater. I'm talking about the bit where a lot of talking and whispering is going on? I couldn't work it out myself. It sounds like when you've got fever and are getting paranoid. I'd love to know what it is, was wondering if anyone has craked the mistery.

 

[ThepOpeth]

all i know is that i can hear mike talking as well as the special guest girl singer.

Indeed. Ambience is all it is. (reminds me of pink floyd.)

 

[SerenityNow!]

Thought I heard a goat or something in there too (???).

 

[noura]

^lol. Wasn't that Mike laughing?

 

[Whisper and Weep]

I hear the lines
"And just when your thinking"
and
"Spooks in the night"
or something like that...

 

[Ümlaut]

The female vocalist is tickling Mike at the end.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

^I'm not sure Axe would be comfortable with that.

 

[Thonolan]

I can hear Mendez (I guess it's him) talking in Spanish too.

 

[Metalstrm]

^I'm not sure Axe would be comfortable with that.

He'd just chop his head off... with his axe.

 

[noura]

Frogs.

Yea, nathalie's voice was easy to distinguish

I can tell that they just took a bunch of random bits of conversations in the studio when they were recording it, lol. :Spin:

 

[Lenni]

I hear Mikael say something about a guitar sound.

 

[fränzi]

I hear something about the 80's I think (or was it the 50's...?).

 

[Hybbe]

The only thing I can make out from all of that is the sentence: "Jag har inte långt hår!" which means: "I do not have long hair!" in swedish. It's at about 8:16 into the song.

 

[Weakness]

Its studio talking processed backwards.

 

[Rogue Eagle]

I quite like the effect of the talking. It's quite.... calming....
in a fucked up yet cool way.

 

[FUBAR]

I think somewhere he says

"One of the best guitarists of the 50's"

 

[Thonolan]

Mendez says "ya me he dado cuenta de que no decías nada", which basically means something like "I've already noticed that you weren't saying anything".

 

[Fragon]

I think the ending of the song is quite artistic and goes well with the song's feeling, "the lotus eater", it always makes feel a little confused...
