Otep – Ghostflowers Lyrics | 15 years ago |
After reading what Thetafarm said I noticed a connection.. especially with "Cut me open with precision, and we'll finger the incision," "we are the 1000 children of death," as well as "From Gelatin, to specimen, to emptiness" Other people have also made valid points. However, I am not in total agreement with anyone. (Even though I did back up thetafarm's interpretation) This song is very figurative.. when I listen to it though I picture a ghost-like woman looking over her life as flowers in the garden. Picking away the ones that hold the most horrid of memories. I feel that she was in an abusive relationship of some sort, which eventually lead to her death. However, that doesn't explain the "Children of death" part. |

Personally I enjoy how she sings the entire song, including "Kith and the kin" because her voice is so unique, and it just works for the songs. Anyways, in response to the 'Red-rimmed Glasses' comment. I would like to ask how glasses stain your knuckles? (I really enjoy singing along to her songs... Its like a vocal workout. Haha!) |

I noticed a couple errors: "It's why I love this town Well, just look around" Should be: "Well, just look around It's why I love this town" (was just flipped) Also, "clam, crap, cockle, cowrie" Should be: "clam, crab, cockle, cowrie" ('p' changed to a 'b') |
