ok cool i hear ya! You have every single right to interpret it as you feel the need to do of course! i was merely pointing out the Video as it's not your typical video - much more artsy and non-commercial. A lot of the lyrical content I tried to convey not as exact metaphors but more a similar archetypal themes in terms of a video that works w/ the song/. A lot of strong and contrasting/dynamic imagery.

Also I should point out that this song is loosely based on Arthur Rimbaud's Une Saison En Enfer ( A Season In Hell )

CONTROLLED EROTIC CHAOS

Tempo = Bossa Nova or Bang Daddy Boomerang
(Klang muss frei sein)


you keep me oiled up in jars
you take me out when you are bored
i am a baby in your arms
i am a victim of your love


you have the key to all my locks
you know just how i come undone
i am your sacrificial lamb
my body dies after i come


Bossa Nova or Bang Daddy Boomerang
(Klang muss frei sein)

THE NEW OXYGEN

the whole thing started when i woke up late one day
a man came on the radio and said these words i say
he said "Son, can you believe the voices in your head?
it's easy
it's easy"

"You are a frequency and not a state of mind"
these are the sentences repeated every time
i drive down and visit all my local pharmacies
it's easy.
it's easy.

i can not think; i can not breathe-- this air is thin!
i even heard it on the News "There Is New Oxygen!
Down Way Beneath The Covers You Can Breathe
it's easy.
it's easy."

i am the only thing that i will ever be;
i am the only one who has to sleep with me.
Therefore, down way beneath the trampl-ing of feet
it's easy.
it's easy.

and then it ended so much faster than before
i didn't realize that the radio was off
"Settle down," i heard them say, "or cry yourself to sleep
we're easy
we're easy"




> Listen to The New Oxygen ( 8 minutes w/ 3 minute piano intro based on Chopin's Prelude in Cminor and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata ) We used an antique piano & we kept the creaks as well since the metallic tone of the old time instrument seemed fitting and looming large for the desired melancholic Phantom Of The Opera effect... We tried to produce this as close to George Martin circa Strawberry Fields Forever/Lennon/Beatles etc... you can hear echoes of this in the extended coda as the entire 8 minute track is one of those 'journey-epic-odyssey' songs. If you don't like long songs you will hate this for sure ;p

This song is about the over-medicating and over-pharmacification of the consumer public by American corporate pharmaceutical companies who market drugs with unknown side effects and or extended test periods with control groups. Additionally, it is about the death of the mom & pop drug store of my parents' era to chain conglomerates like Walgreens and CVS thus putting more nails into the coffin of the American dream.

I hear ya- me too/
you see though i got PMd a question "Why the Walgreens Sign"? so I edited in an explanation

I am new here so I don't know everyone - also you are free to form your own opinion of song lyrics and possible meanings. Just because i wrote the song doesn't mean it has only one meaning. Your meaning can be better or even more valid than my own... I'm simply the songwriter here to deliver some type of message - I am more concerned that the songs make you feel something and not necessarily in accordance with what i say or feel or think -

sometimes it takes a listener to tell the songwriter what his work is really about

cheers!
