In denial who will come clean
All the ravenous debris
In disguise sideswiped by penance
Cerecloth sentencing
This scapegrace will pay my barking harangue...Are you listening?
On the fourteenth you stole what
Hasn't grown old in denial,
File this under a bridge that he can't leave
Will those shadows glare from that blank
Rimmed stare in a vacancy hush

Aunque me dejaste ahogando en el mar Aquestete en la tierra, de la realidad ed tu sueno manos me recuerdo solamente a ti te odio yo ya me voy

In denial who will clean up
All this ravenous debris
In denial, file this under
A bridge that he can't leave
And the Storyville sawbones couldn't tell
The prescription to mend all the broken wills
In the white lie ward
Don't you pretend
Tangled in thorns to walk unborn
And the debt will collect

    General Comment:1/11/2012, and The Mars Volta didn't changed! so nikkie...
    i think the spanish fragment has 3 possibilities:
    1. Aunque me dejastes llorando en el mar
    acuestate en la tierra la realidad de tu sueño
    manos me recuerdo, solamente a ti te odio
    yo ya me voy...
    2. Aunque me dejastes ahogando en el mar
    acuestate en la tierra la realidad de tu sueño
    manos me recuerdo, solamente a ti te odio
    yo ya me voy...
    3. Aunque me dejaste sudando en el mar
    acuestate en la tierra la realidad de tu sueño
    manos me recuerdo, solamente a ti te odio
    yo ya me voy...
    I know that is not correct to put an "s" after that kind of verb, but The Mars Volta likes to use lots of spelling mistakes on the spanish lyrics, that's special :D

    even though you left me in "1, 2 or 3" in the sea
    lay down on the ground
    the reality of your dreams
    hands i remember me
    i just hate u
    i'm already going

    General Comment:aunque me dejaste hogando en el mar,
    acuestate en la tierra,
    la realidad de tu sueño
    manos de recuerdo
    solamente a ti te oígo
    yo ya me voy

    even though you left me in drowning in the sea
    lay down on the ground
    the reality of your dreams
    hands of remembrance
    i only hate you
    now im leaving

    General Comment:hi, i speak spanish and i translated the spanish part differently than the others above. this is what i got:
    even though you left me drownding and sea
    lay to rest in the earth, in the reality of your dream
    hands remember me,
    only you do i hate
    i'm leaving now.

    p.s.
    youeatpoop- leave.
    Kezman-yeah, give it a rest, dont be so harsh, and expand your mind.
    NIKKIE- you do you think you are?! have you even listened to TMV????
    Stryked my mars- youre right, he jumped off and overpass in my hometown. yikes, scary/sad.
    borednesstakesover- whoa, thank you for that! XOXO!!

    General Comment:Alright, I'm sorry. I had to join to respond to these people.
    First of all, why would you go to a lyrics meaning thing if you don't like the band? does it make you feel good to put people down?
    Second of all, The Mars Volta IS indeed talented, incredibly. I'm sorry if you don't understand their style or the amazing genius that it is, but they are in fact amazing.
    and finally, third of all, I don't know the whole history about The Mars Volta or anything, but I do know that they formed in 2001, it's 2007 and they HAVE NOT made a pop song. you guys are just dreaming because you want more music that has meaningless, boring lyrics.
