| Ok maybe looking at the revised lyrics it says Pigment, and not Pygmy, but STILL... Also, does anyone notice fragments of the bass solo in Cassandra Gemini? | |

This song seems to reference abortion in some places? I don't know if anyone else has picked up on it, but: "I am the reason for your missing child", "Signalling the sedative to emaciate the queen" and "pygmy footsteps... boil it clean" really put across that theme. Regardless of what it's about, this is by far my favourite Mars Volta song. I think the album is REALLY underrated. |

I also think 'The prettiest whistles won't wrestle the thistles undone' refers to the fact that even though they're in love an' all, there's still going to be these Hazards of Love. Oh, and I think The Hazards of Love fits the album perfectly, and "The prettiest whistles..." is a bit wordy. Has anyone heard Inside A Boy by My Brightest Diamond? The singer (Shara Worden) was the Queen on the Hazards of Love, and one of the lyrics of the song is: "We are clouds We are whispers Like Fauns and Shapeshifters" You should check it out, 8-) |

| I definitely got the Hazards of Love reference, bit disappointed someone's got there before me haha. The Hazards of Love is based on a folk tale I think, thats the kinda thing Mr Meloy's into, anyway. I reckon Shara Worden and him have pretty similar influences, which is pretty cool. Anyway, her input on the album was incredible. | |
