The chorus refers to the weight of a weapon, a double meaning of both the guilt of killing and the weight of the 'blade', in this case a gun. To kneel at defeat At the choices you make" Again a wrong lyric. To kneel at the feet of the choices you made" Again fairly obvious. I have no real understanding of Backs to the Wheel or Granite to shove.
Only that the latter is obviously a link to hard manual labour. XTimmy on March 03, Link. There was an error. I agree with your observations whole heartedly. They do post that it is "build" not pilfer but I agree it is "build". Nice work. Your interpretation is spot on IMO. It really fits. It's a very interesting subject to write about.
I would have to say this is one of my favorite Massive Attack songs, it's eerie and beautifully unsettling. It really puts you in the shoes of someone who has endured a war. Very moving. Song Meaning I have listened to this song many times because it is true poetry. But, I have a somewhat different interpretation of the lyrics' meanings, while giving thorough attention to it's nuances. After all the devil is in the details.
We start of while a menacing tone. Feelings of fear and anxiety parallel with the distorted twists and creaky, hollow sounds in the song's opening. In the beginning, all we know is that a shadowy figure of a man tells us: I'm not good in a crowd I've got skills I can't speak of Things I've seen will chase me to the grave. These words don't alleviate the anxiousness set by the tone. It forebodes an evil omen, yet the song's lack of melody and rhythm keeps the listener in the dark.
I personally felt like a little boy in his bed on a cold, windy night with the creaking trees outside rapping on my bedroom window. We fear our speaker might be the monster that hides beneath the bed or in the closet, waiting The speaker then repeats himself with an added nuance as if he desires to emphasize the horror he embodies: I'm not good in a crowd I've got skills I can't speak of over there Things I've seen will chase me to the grave Speaking of his own mortality proves he's human, but the added phrase "over there" gives us a very unsettling feeling.
The speaker is letting us know he is not from OUR world here. We might begin to question whether there something corporeal at work. And is this a simple statement, or a warning? Eventually, the music changes from a tone of high anxiety to a tone of horror. Led with your hands tied Fed to the sand flies Now the listener has become the victim.
We feel the death in the air as the sand flies circle the victim like buzzards. The speaker has probably done this MANY times. We know the end is near. We connect with the victim who laments his or her fate.
I believe this part is very misunderstood by people, so I will translate: Put your backs into it! There's granite to shovel. For the graves. Take it. They give it Everything makes sense in this context. By being dead, they give it freely. But for those that are experiencing something more like panic attacks, the experience tends to be similar between different people.
Recall that anxiety attacks can mimic other health problems. If you haven't been to a doctor, it's a good idea to go at least once to rule out any more serious issues. Make sure your doctor knows about anxiety, however. Not all doctors are aware of the severity of anxiety attack symptoms. Some may not believe that anxiety can cause so many physical symptoms and sensations, but it absolutely can. The symptoms below are often experienced differently by different people.
During an anxiety attack, your body experiences a wave of stress that is so profound, it's difficult to know exactly how your individual body will react. Yet below are some of the most common symptoms of an anxiety attack:. You may not experience all of these symptoms at once either, and each one may cause various degrees of severity. You may also feel as though there is no way that it is an anxiety attack.
Anxiety attacks and panic attacks are often so severe that the sufferers live in constant fear of the symptoms coming back. Anxiety attacks also tend to peak around 10 minutes though because anxiety attacks are not as severe as panic attacks, they may peak differently. Then as they dissipate, they often leave you feeling fatigued and drained, possibly fearful of another attack. Anxiety attacks often have triggers, although they can be triggered by nothing at all.
Some people experience anxiety attacks during periods of intense anxiety, but many others experience them "out of nowhere," usually as a response to a physical sensation. For example, it's not uncommon to have your first anxiety attack simply because your heartbeat speeds up, because anxiety has caused you to be hypersensitive to these changes. The causes of anxiety attacks are everything from severe stress to hyperventilation to a need to regain control. It differs for different people, which is why treating it has a great deal to do with identifying triggers.
Once you've experienced an anxiety attack, the fear of another anxiety attack may actually trigger an attack, because those that are afraid of getting a panic attack again often pay too much attention to their own body, and react to any changes in sensations. Anxiety attacks often need to run their course. Once they've started, there is very little that you can do to stop them completely. They're a reaction that your body has that is somewhat beyond your control.
They can be prevented, and their severity can be lessened, but they are very hard to stop. Reducing its severity has to do with reacting correctly to the symptoms. Remember - the physical symptoms you experience are very real, and very disruptive. But they're not related to any health problem, and solely a result of your anxiety. If you believe you feel an anxiety attack coming or you're certain you're in the middle of the one, try the following:.
Drinking water may also calm the mind, and if you feel strong enough, a good jog can get your body to breathe better and use oxygen at a healthier pace. Remember that one of the key issues with anxiety attacks is that once they start, they tend to trigger a cascade of reactions that are nearly impossible to stop.
What you can do, however, is prevent your anxiety attacks from coming back. Prevention is a slow process. It starts by going to the doctor - for your own mental health, you do need to make sure that you've ruled out any of your health concerns.
Anxiety attacks tend to create serious health anxiety, and health anxiety is not something that can easily be stopped if you don't at least go in for your annual checkup. Afterward, the key is to learn how to react to your symptoms.
