3rd Planet Lyrics
Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over My boss just quit the job Says he's going out to find blind spots and he'll do it The third planet is sure that they're being watched By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped When you get to the promised land Your going to shake that eye's hand Your heart felt good It was dripping pitch and made of wood And your hands and knees Felt cold and wet on the grass to me Well, outside naked, shivering, looking blue From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon Baby cum angels fly around you Reminding you we used to be three and not just two And that's how the world began And that's how the world will end A third had just been made and we were swimming in the water Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter? When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies And another had been found, another ocean on the planet Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic And how Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were The universe is shaped exactly like the earth Your heart felt good It was dripping pitch and made of wood And your hands and knees Felt cold and wet on the grass to me Well, outside naked, shivering, looking blue From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon Baby cum angels fly around you Reminding you we used to be three and not just two And that's how the world began And that's how the world will end A third had just been made and we were swimming in the water Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter? When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies And another had been found, another ocean on the planet Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were The universe is shaped exactly like the earth Everything that keeps me together is falling apart I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over |

I also think he is gonna break up with the girl. "i've got this thing i consider my only art of fucking people over"
the dripping pitch and made of wood i feel is just him reminising of things that remind him of the girl.

"Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over."
The foundations that keep things stable are crumbling, and the only thing you feel good at is causing trouble for others.
This song has a lot to do with the illusions and faith that we have that keeps us stable.
The boss is looking for blind spots....
The 3rd planet's "watcher"....
Scientific truths (our blood is just like the atlantic....the universe is shaped exactly like the earth)
The part of the song that I think is hinted at is the couple (in the baby come angels stanza) is that they lost a child.
Three becomes two.....the world began, and the world will end without their child.

sunlight that's reflected off the moon.
Baby cum angels fly around you
reminding you we used to be three and not just two.
And that's how the world began.
And that's how the world will end."
just thought id point out.. cold sun light reflected off the moon is moonlight.. get it? and baby cum angels are baby angels reminding you that someone must have died..

Seriously though, who else thinks that America's education system is crumbling? I've heard teachers say the same kind of things as CONTROLDbyhatred. Something's wrong.
And how can anyone help but love Isaac Brock? American genius; rather, genius who is wholly American and locked into it.

by an eye in the sky that can't be stopped.
When you get to the promise land
your gonna shake that eyes hand."
the sheer genius of these lines blows me away. Totally descriptive of my very catholic family and how they view religion.

i think what he's saying is that we are infinitely small and inifinitely large at the same time. one blood cell of ours could be an entire universe to bililions by billions of creatures too small for us to comprehend, and at the same time our entire universe could be just one cell in a massive creature also beyond our comprehension. this thought seems to stem from the loss of an unborn child leading to religion and then this.

if you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were. " coincide with the line in Stars Are Projectors' last line, "Where do circles begin". Both give the idea that no matter what path you travel, you end up right where you started.

Pitch is used to protect fences and sheds from the weather; it isn't a natural property of wood, and certainly doesn't have the ability to bring the wood back to life. So, for me the heart isn't broken and mended, it's dead, ripped out, dessicated and dripping with something akin to embalming fluid. Quite an image, especially if it relates to an aborted baby.

"Well, outside naked, shiverin' looking blue, from the cold
sunlight that's reflected off the moon.
Baby cum angels fly around you
reminding you we used to be three and not just two.
And that's how the world began."
this could symbolize adam and eve in the garden of eden... they were three, including God, but when they ate the forbiddin fruit, they pushed God away and disobeyed him, becoming only two people. and also:
"A 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the
water
didn't know then was it a son was it a daughter."
This could symbolize the birth of Jesus. He was the "third" person now, the son.
I could be totally wrong, but this is what it seems like it means to me.

The portion about the eye in the sky is a direct reference to modern religious thought, yes, but the part directly after it is bloody genius - and somewhat contrary to your interpretation.
Dissecting the "Your heart felt good...felt cold and wet", it seems to be a derogatory comment towards the act of prayer (which in itself is an act of self-abasement). While the person referenced felt good in the act, it is ultimately useless, and generally results in an unhealthy and judgmental mindset (it was dripping pitch and made of wood).
Isaac also seems to touch on the self-abasing nature of prayer (your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me), which further reinforces the negative connotations he associates with religion.
The portions about baby cum angels/three not just two/a third had just been made seem to point, not to Adam/Eve/The Christ figure/God, but to a couple and child. In that light, they reference a miscarriage (or possibly even an abortion....the baby cum angels part still gets me there) and the sex act leading to said fetus, respectively.

A third had just been made and we were swimming in the
water
Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter?
I dont think this has shit to do with jesus being born, because wasnt jesus birthed years after Adam and Eve ate that fruit? I think its just stating how the world, as we know it, began. I get a more pessimistic feel because Adam and Eve were cast to the earth in dishonor, they lost everything because of human vice, and humans were then doomed to repeat this circle. I feel like the point of water was the further imply that humans were doomed to be on the same level with animals.
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic
And furthermore pessimism is expressed here:
Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
I feel like he's equating the universe to this endless circle metaphor from before.

Correction
Maybe Brock is taking a pessimistic approach to creation of man. I believe the chorus does reflect back to Adam and Eve. "Reminding you we used to be three and not just two" seem to be derogatory, reminding adam and eve of what they lost, the third being god.
I think the reference to the promised land in the beginnining proves my points even more
