The Lotus Eater

[Cerberus III]

Anyone figured out what this song is about?

Sounds like it's about a suicide to me.

The Lotus Eater
The liquid is in your throat
One hopeless delight

After all you fell in love with death
Life has aborted
All you've had and all you became
The night is calling, you pray forth

The barren waste is your land
Your crops, they were sown to die

The skin is a mirror
The eyes hollow with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep

All those years caring for a liar
A benefit road that is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire

You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all

Fleeing your sorrows
Pushing your spirit away

The weakness of the psyche
A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair
Resenting the goods of a savior

And cries out
For the restless will also die

A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower

O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself
I wish you had never come back for us to see the beckoning end

And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
And the love from a father was used by a father's son

Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting so clear and so true
Overheard us talking

 

[Whisper and Weep]

Possibly.

All I know is that at the end with all the voices is that it sounds like a wake.

So the picture with the guy shaking the other guys hand with the funeral car parked outside could fit with that.

I'm still trying to figure out the missing verses before I delve into the full meaning.

 

[Cerberus III]

I'm still trying to figure out the missing verses before I delve into the full meaning.

Yeah that'd be helpful.

If anyone figures out the missing lyrics for TLE please post.

 

[The Seeker]

Or alcoholism, perhaps?

 

[burntoast]

According to Dark Lyrics, the missing verse is:

After all you fell in love with death
Life has aborted
All you've had and all you became
The night is calling, you pray forth

It sounds pretty accurate, so I'm just going to go with this for the time being. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything resembling this in the SE code when I deciphered it last night. Perhaps somebody missed something in the regular edition.

 

[Nailed Reaper]

It's about cheese cookies and orange soda.

 

[Cerberus III]

It's about cheese cookies and orange soda.

Cheese cookies? That sounds pretty terrible...

 

[Fragon]

There's more than a verse which is missing. Form 2:55 to 3:38 I can't hear

Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting so clear and so true
Overheard us talking

looks like he's saying another thing.

and also, 6:20 to the End

According to dark lyrics ;

Oh, mother!
[Incoherent growling]

For us to see
The blink of an eye

And the pride of a mother
Drawn close in a mother's son,
And the love from a father
Was used by a father's son

Over warrior's token
Misspoken lives on,
The language unimportant.
So fair and so just.

All the land is taken

But it must be false as usual...

 

[burntoast]

Yeah, the OP left out some parts. Here are the complete lyrics from what I can tell:

The liquid is in your throat
One hopeless delight

After all you fell in love with death
Life has aborted
All you've had and all you became
The night is calling, you pray forth

The barren waste is your land
Your crops, they were sown to die

The skin is a mirror
The eyes hollow with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep

All those years caring for a liar
A benefit road that is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire

You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all

Fleeing your sorrows
Pushing your spirit away

The weakness of the psyche
A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair
Resenting the goods of a savior

And cries out
For the restless will also die

A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower

O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself
I wish you had never come back for us to see the beckoning end

And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
And the love from a father was used by a father's son

Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting so clear and so true
Overheard us talking

^Right I did... wasn't aware I copied and pasted from another thread.

 

[burntoast]

All is forgiven.

 

[Nasty-Fire]

These lyrics on DarkLyrics are completly wrong. They have been written by a guy who put the song on YouTube. Just compare it with the cypher and you already see to many mistakes. The rest just cannot be trusted.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

dark lyrics is full of typos.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

It's about Bush, too.

 

[Cerberus III]

It's about Bush, too.

I'm all about bush...
