The Widow Lyrics
Artist(Band):Mars Volta
Review The Song (43)Print the Lyrics
He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shardes
They're the kind that will talk
Through a wheezing of coughs

And I hear him every night
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Must I hide?
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Look at how they flock to him
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Such to die for

And I hear him every night
On every street
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from…

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Oh lord
Said I'm bloodshot for sure
Pale runs the ghost
Swollen on the shore

Every night
in every pore
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from…

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let me die
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Review about The Widow

The Secret of these lyrics Revealed | Reviewer: Miranda McKennitt | 10/19/09

Come on. It's about Jimmi Morrison. The Widow, because he is dead and she listens to his music and understands how one can love him and cherish him. How can you miss it. And English is not my mother's tongue...



My view on the widow | Reviewer: niqui | 5/11/09

first of all Cucaracha you have to remember taht this is based on a diary that Jeremy Ward found so it could be possible that this song is from a woman's point of view. Also I really think that everyone connects to this song on a different level and has their own view on it.

I think this song is about a girl who is probably innocent and naieve and falls for a guy who shows her a side of life she never intended to get into. The fasting black lungs line means he cannot breathe because he smokes...probably cloves which are notorious for having fiberglass in them which makes your lungs bleed. I believe that this guy is into drugs and a crazy lifestyle and this girl seems to fall deeper and deeper into it. She's so in love she cannot help her own demise even when it seems that he's forgotten her. To be closer to him she' does all the things he does and she ends up wanting to die in the end.



frances the mute | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09

Frances the Mute in based on the story found in the diary/journal of deceased friend Jeremy Ward. He was adopted and the journal has entry's of his quest to find his real mother and father. Each song has a character name in the title (cyngus, the widow, miranda, cassandra). With the cd came a lot of emotion because the death was very recent, and Jeremy was very close to the members. None of The Mars Volta's lyrics are "just because they sound good". There is a story/concept behind each album which made me like them so much more.

You can find a lot of interesting facts about their album's and songs on their site.



correction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09

It's not Jeremy's story.

"The story is inspired by a diary that Jeremy found in the backseat of a car while working as a repo man. (cedric says) He discovered he has a lot in common with it's author. He kept it and let us in on it. The diary told of the author being adopted and looking for his real parents. The names of each song are named after the people in the diary. Each person he meets sort of points him in the direction of his biological parents... It's a story of abandonment and addiction. As to weather of not it actual happened is not certain. That's something for the listener to find out. We can only provide the pieces"

-says Cedric (www.themarsvolta.co.uk)



first line | Reviewer: Diego | 4/5/09

The first line actually means that he is dead... lungs breath air the same way a stomach digests food... therefore for a lung to fast, it no longer takes in air... and without air we all know that we die.



Opiate addiction | Reviewer: PaulIe o0 13 | 1/9/09

The song is much easier to figure out then everyone is trying to make it. It's speaking of opioid dependency, and is referenced by saying "it", "he", and "him", most commonly in the course. Now I'm not saying every time these words are used in the song they refer to addiction, "he" is also used referencing Jeremy Ward. The course speaks it all
"And I hear him every night (him being opiates)
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm (he)

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Must I hide?
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Look at how they flock to him (him being drugs)
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such (he being Jeremy)
Such to die for"

Hope i helped!



No it goes like this.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/7/09

This song was the first song written after former band member, Jeremy Ward's death. It is a grim melodic waltz tribute to him. I believe the depths to which the lyrics reach speak of how, while experimenting with psychedelic drugs to fuel their intricate music, they will forever remember Ward's voice and it lingers in their ears and in their hearts forever. "Fasting black lungs" tell that the three members made a pact not to do drugs anymore, yet his lungs were covered in tar from such use.



Re: abuse | Reviewer: Mmm | 12/6/08

Sure and this song has lots to analyse, but I doubt that it's about abuse mainly because of this one line "and everytime he just makes me warm". I doubt that anyone being abused would be feeling warm and fuzzy about the attacker.



My Opinion | Reviewer: Carlos CM | 11/18/08

I hear this song and I think of someone, particularly a child, who is being sexually abused. The song is very descriptive (sounds, emotions, smells, etc.).

The first lines describe the abuser and his habits. Then, the moment preceding to the abuse (the footsteps). Finally, it's as if the first person has accepted this and does nothing, because he feels it's something he can't escape.

I like to assume that the abuser died (of smoking), but the smell and memory remain, therefore he will "never sleep alone."



wait a min,,, | Reviewer: gareb s | 11/14/08

the song maybe talking about drugs, but what about the title?????? "The Widow" what is the title refering to??????????? that maybe the key what the whole song talks about??????
