"Pull your head on out ... You're here ... Pay reason ... Give a listen"

When I listen to this part of the song, it's almost as if each new section is cutting off the previous section before the thought is finished. As if Maynards frustration (at audience for not getting the message the first time) is making him repeatedly rephrase himself before finally settling on "Give a listen"

i.e.
Pull your head on out (...of your ass)
Your head/You're here (...too little to go on to know where this was going)
Be reason(...able)
Give a listen.

I've mentioned this before... seems to get shot down everytime, though it STILL makes sense to me

^ Makes sense, yes. The 2nd one sounds a bit like "still", but so does the first. They both sound exactly the same. And yet "still" doesn't make sense for the first one, so I think it's "stare" for both.
(Just my opinion, not trying to shoot anything down)

like killed by the husband
drowned by the ocean
shot by his own son
she used a poison
and in his dreams
kissed you goodbye
thats my kind of story
Its no fun till someone dies

Pull your head on out your hair piece.

hi-ppi-es!

I'll never stop saying it...

hi, i've been reading all your suggestions and here is the way i hear it. some lines aren't very clear but some sound better than the ideas here:

Eye on the TV
Cuz tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be like
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye"
It's my kinda story
It's not fun 'til someone dies

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Pleads to the sky, crying
"Why, oh why"

Cuz I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us the story so (not sure about that one)
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down
Drown on grave and ground

Part vampire, part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmitter
Sing to the death rattle

Na na na na na na na ny(x4)

Credulous, DIVEST your desire to believe in (i loved the one who said INCREASE)
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out, your head believes it, give a listen (not sure about it)
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always beeeeeeeen

We all feed
On tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

VICARIOUSLY I
LIVE WHILE THE WHOLE WORLD DIES
MUCH BETTER YOU THAN I

^ you guys do smoke green ganja...

Hyrule asked the best
Jebodiah to believe in
Angels in bahama men
But pull your hair on out your negliger and give a system
Sudden masks of slaying you pretend
The humolous is fossil
Some will turn to dust
DiMarzio to the fight
So will risk
So will saw they're skin!

Guillaume see
Eau de jeudi
It's like fuck you, french guy

WHY GARY LEFT ME AAAAAAIH
DIDN'T WANNA WHOLE WORLD DIES

MUST BURY JUVENILE

gradual is the death you desire to believe in angels in the hearts of man (this line the way i hear it uses you desire as the end of one part and the beginning of the other...)
pull your head on out your hippy age and give a listen (listen closely as this plays you well hear the p's)
shouldnt have to say it all again
the universe is hostile so impersonal
devour to survive so it is so its always been

WTF is wrong with you people???

That's what I meant with my post above exactly.

irony, I get it... it's just that sometimes I don't know if your serious or not, Terry!

Most of the time it is irony or sarcasm, but I also sometimes mean something serious (Jambi "breathe in union" thread.) Oh and btw my name is not Terry :).

^ I assumed as much, Terry.

Is Terry a female name actually?

I don't know if anyone suggested this because I'm not gonna look through 20 pages of this, but I believe Maynard says, "Eyes on the TV."


I have heard others say "Eye on the TV", but I'm pretty sure I hear an 's' sound at the end of eye.

Anyone else hear "Eyes"?

no i don't think he says "eyes", i can't hear the S, plus it suits maynard to use "eye" instead of "eyes", might be referring to the "third eye" perhaps

According to my American girlfriend, Terry is most likely a male name, while the female version is Teri.

Why does it suit Maynard to use "eye"? I don't buy that. I think you've been listening to The Package.

Besides, Maynard is definately referring to a literal eye or eyes. "Eyes on the TV" or even "Eye on the TV" has to do with watching the television and has nothing to do with the "third eye."


Listen carefully, it's "Eyes."

Sorry, but "eyes" is just redicioulous. You're taking what I think is wrong and making it even wronger just to make it make sense? Well, okay Maynard did a lot of weird speaking on AEnima ("for it sins and I'm lies") ("but 90 from it first EP etc. etc.) but I think we have to wait for the real lyrics on this hard nut.

heh i'm not reading through 20 something pages but what he says on this part is --

Credulous at best your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men
pull your head on out YOUR HIPPIE HAZE...

if someone already has said that, ignore it.

What is weird speaking about "eyes on the tv"? It would be weird to say "eye on the tv," unless he's wearing a patch or something.


What do you suggest?

"I own the TV 'cause tragedy thrills me" is my idea.

I think that's correct, sounds 90 % like that live.

Not really.. A common phrase in the English language is "Keep your eye on the prize" and most people do not wear eyepatches.

Not that I am disagreeing with you, just pointing this out.

Personally I think it's "I own a TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me"

I would also like to add a vote for "pull your head on out your hippie haze". I feel almost certain that is what he says.

fragile is at best your desire to believe in
angels in the hearts of man
pull your head on out - your head created...give a listen (meaning get your head out of hte ideas that you already have)
shouldn't have to say it all again

fragile?

NO!

Credulous!!!

"Credulous at best, beyond desire to believe in..."

Maybe even "Credulous, at last, beyond desire...

yeah it sounds like a cr at the beginniing but i think he just slurred because i can definately here the is at best at the end. and i don't here beyond desire at all.
i hear- at best your desire to believe in.
fragile works the best.

if it is credulous, then it would be
credulous at best your desire to believe in
but that doesn't flow at all like
fragile is at best your desire to beieve in

have none of you ever heard someone say- fragile at best?
i have many times

I can hear a "t" sound after "credulous" and right before "at best." "Your desire" also does sound like "beyond desire" if you choose to listen to it that way. But after doing it repeatedly listening for "your desire," I can hear it now. The thing is that I hear a long e sound after best. It's as if he says, "Credulous-ed at besty your desire to believe in..." He could be just stressing the "y" sound in "your." Just like in Rosetta Stoned where he says "You had better..." It sounds like he says, "Shoe had better..." Saying, "Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men" doesn't seem like a sentence to me. He could be stating something by using a phrase, but I don't think he is. "Fragile is..." would make more sense but I hear the "cr" at the beginning and the "t" at the end.

"Credulous, at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men." <-- Try and read it without the "at best" part... it doesn't make sense.

"Fragile is, at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men." <--- This does make a sentence.

I agree with you A Spirit of Radio if "fragile" is the lyric sung.

thanks rhymic,
i always thought it was fragile because like i said earlier, i have heard the phrase,
fragile at best- used many times to describe something that is not very strong.

btw, i see you are from ohio too, will you be at nationwide for the show in sept?

I think still, it is

Hyrule asked the best
Jebodiah to believe in
Angels in bahama men
But pull your hair on out your negliger and give a system
Sudden masks of slaying you pretend
The humolous is fossil
Some will turn to dust
DiMarzio to the fight
So will risk
So will saw they're skin!

perhaps when listened to under water?

The funny thing is, that my post screams "are you listening to it under water?" It's pure irony, because all of you guys write such crazy shit in this very part.

There we go, that's my opinion:

Creduloused at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is
So it's always been

After a few listens, I figured that there could be a very silent "the" at the start of the line and then I came up with some different words.

"The credulous took paths beyond desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men."

The only problem is I don't think "took" is there. It sounds more like "tit" or something hehe.

Maybe, "The credulous did paths beyond desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men."

"The credulous tip passed your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men."

None of these make sense though if he's saying credulous. Credulous means gullible. So he'd be saying that the gullible work their way passed desire... if they're gullible, then they go straight for it without question hehe.

Woh wait, what if it's, "Too credulous to pass your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men." It would go with the next line where he's saying, "Pull your head on out..." I don't hear the "too" though, but just throwing out ideas.

Glad you lost at last your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men

Just kidding ;)
