| The Mars Volta can definatly tell a well-written story by singing it. This whole album is simply amazing. This is way better than mainstream music. You actually have to look into the song to understand it's true meaning. | |

| The ignorance of some amuses me. For those afore mentioned, julio injected himself with rat poison in an attempt to kill himself. What I get from this is Julio's slipping in and out of consciousness, drifting towards his infamous comatose state. The poison has begun to deteriorate his tissue. His skin is shriveled and scarred, his arm deformed; his body is destroyed. He is beginning to hallucinate while passing towards a coma. He is on the verge of death, the voices of doctors and nurses surrounding him. He sees what he has become. "Now I'm lost." | |
