I miss 30 seconds to mars...

Still one of the greatest songs ever created.

I can see a lot of the context referring, not only to adultery/ sexual indecency, but also the idea of drug over-indulgence. There definitely seems to be a theme of biblical allegory, as Mary represents the mother of Jesus, as well as terms used like "father," "Jesus" and "God." If I understand this correctly, Mary is a metaphor of the female figure of what seems to be either this current era, or possibly even in some hypothetical society of Mars before it became inhabitable as it is today.What is an astronaut to Mars? An alien. Likely that of Earth. So the idea of Mary "liking to play a lot" or "fly" implies that perhaps she uses hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD or DMT to experience aliens of another dimension. Perhaps ones of Earth, perhaps not. Notice the term "hallucinate" is used in the song as well.Now, to "see her face", or "smell her taste" (referring to YOU as the spectator), it questions whether we've taken these ideas into consideration. Did you picture a face in your mind at the mention of Mary? Were you aroused by the idea of it? Perhaps this is a reflection of the challenges we face in terms of temptation.There are some very clear sexual references, but the one that gets me the most is her conversation with the astronaut. She asks him to "rape her" which could either be taken literally as a sexual reference, or perhaps even metaphorical in terms of the way some people may describe the effects of hallucinogenic substances as "tearing them apart or raping them from the inside out." This makes even more sense if you consider when he first asks if she can hear him, if she's sleeping. In theory, there seems to be a real grey area between the concepts of hallucinogenic trips and dream states. Perhaps he could still stand in as a symbol for an "alien experience."Now when she says "I believe your lies", referring to his mention to "leave the politics to madmen", this can be taken one of two ways. The first takes a literal turn on the metaphor of his representation of hallucinogens (at this point, we'll just coin the term 'drugs' to make it simpler), citing that the stigma against drugs is nothing more than politics of madmen. Essentially, something to be ignored, that of which she, Mary, disagrees with at heart, but continues to do so anyways. Perhaps the term drug by this point could span out to mean much more dangerous substances, although this much is unclear.The second way is a more literal take on the literal indication of the rape she referred to. Considering the use of the word "rape" over any other form of indication for sex, this could imply that this act between them is that of unholy, perhaps adultery, or perhaps she may even be underaged in this scenario. To believe his lies in leaving the politics to madmen is perhaps to buy into the idea that to accept this act of theirs as wrong or unholy is ridiculous. Essentially, he's saying that the technicalities, or legalities of it, is one established only by those who are "mad" or simply out of their mind. She doesn't believe this, but she doesn't seem to care, either."There's a paradise beneath me". This is very obvious in one aspect, though if you understand the nature of psychedelic trips, you can see how the opposite appears to be true in terms of negative, or "bad" trips. As you travel into a downward spiral, the nere existence of life and experience around you becomes that of a nightmare, pushing anyone to beg for it to stop or return to the state in which that being was originally in. The other reference is to his penis.Finally, she's asking if she's supposed to bleed. In the more obvious sexual aspect, this could imply that she's either too small from being underaged (as we mentioned the possibility of earlier), or she's triggered her period from this act. The psychedelic aspect of it seems rather odd, although perhaps the reference of "bleeding" translates to the simple suffering of undergoing a "bad" trip.He said "you better pray to Jesus," and she said "I don't believe in God."There's so much that could be said here, but by this point, I'm certain you can piece the context together and see just how much is being said by these few simple words. The act of blatant defiance, denial of the Divine by that of Mary says so much, and yet it begs us to ask ourselves, "do I agree with this? Do I feel the same way?"Well.... do you?

I need more music like this. I demand recommendations.

Very good work with the lyrics. They actually portray the feelings of this song, the emotion colours of the voice. Just that de source wasn't the best in my opinnion. They may be good for this song too but they are not very understable. Anyway, the rest is great

Alex Saca

I never noticed that the intro sounds actually like the intro from Hey Man Nice Shot by Filter

Sando Raouf

Disturbing.

Laura Adams Briefs
