Mars Volta, The - With Twilight As My Guide Lyrics

Lovely ❤

This song made me cry

I dunno this is my favorite Mars Volta song. I love all their crazy jams, but this one stays with me. Beautiful guitar playing and singing.

Cedric, why do they fear the number 13...? Omar?

He keeps them in a vault of devil doters.

Pffffff santa rolototota, que mala onda que se separaron

love it

I am so addicted to this song. Totally addicted. Perfection.

these guys are awesome live

Jeremy Casimir D best! Better than n d CD's!!! 👑🌠⭐😎😚✌

song meaning

I'm bolted from within
From long conniving heights
The hale, it makes a special sound
That always stays into the night

( ☀️he is saying that he is prisoned by his mind , and his thoughts are so deep and go on and on , and they hit him like a ton of bricks, like hail, and his bad thoughts follow him everywhere he goes even at night when he sleeps they haunt his dreams and in the morning when he is awake they haunt his life☀️

She tells me I'm not capable
Of what they accuse me
With no remorse I stand and say
That guilt is what I plead

☀️his mom being in denial of his ilness, and the things she has seen happen because of his ilness, and he wants her to know it is real, and he isnt sorry for the things he has done because he didnt know how to control it, and she judges him without understanding him ☀️

My devil makes me dream
Like no other mortal dreams
☀️he is referring to his illness as the devil , and saying he thinks ,feels, sees and hears things that no other human could understand or imagine☀️

With a blank eye corner

☀️he is saying he does not cry , the corners of his eyes are blank not red, meaning he doesn't cry☀️

The only way to see him
In the tunnel where he slept
By the longest tusk of corridors

☀️he is talking about being prisoned by his ilness and not wanting to come out of his room, so the only way you can see him is if you go to him, also could refer to as a mental hospital☀️

Numb below the neck
☀️he has no emotions☀️

In my heart

Where he keeps them in
A vault of devil daughters
☀️he is sayig that normal people see mentally ill people as bad or evil , but he keeps them in his heart and feels for them, also could refer to as a broken heart☀️

When I bend and kick in form
With twilight as my guide
☀️he is trying to beat his ilness , but at the end of the day his ilness controls his life, and it's all he knows.. twilight= ilnesses bc of how dark it is☀️

In every home the ghost pays gossip
You can hear them if you try
☀️his loved ones try to whisper and be unseen and unheard as they talk badly about him and his ilnesses, and he tries to block it out... also could refer to as the voices in his head☀️

When my quill begins to squirm
From the ashes in your urn
Your deviance is anything but faithful
☀️his mind is pondering death, and paranoia but he knows his negative paranoid thoughts arnt real and his mind is playing tricks on him or it could mean that he is suicidal, but he knows he wont actually do it ...his mind is deceiving him ☀️

Everybody
In my dead leaves
☀️everybody leaves him like he is nothing and then he is dead to them. they forget him☀️

Don't you hide these
Branches waiting
☀️his family trying to avoid his ilness as they wait for him to get better, branches = , family tree, family☀️

I've been watching
You four, two me
☀️he sees and understand people from all angles, but they only see two sides of him the good and the bad☀️

Don't resign me
I'm not waiting
☀️he is saying dont leave me ,even tho i push you away , but the only reason i do it is because im afraid you will leave and im not gonna stick around just for u to leave☀️

☀️☀️☀️☀️this song is about living with mental illnesses, and being a sociopath and how it makes you do things you wouldn't normally do, and think things no one can understand, but while you do these things you feel no remorse , or sadness for what you have done because of your mental illness, and how everyone leaves him because they only see 2 sides of him the good and the bad, and he wants people to give him a chance☀️☀️☀️

💗💗Leah W

Leah Watkins Did you read this in an interview with them somewhere, or is it purely your opinion/interpretation? Doesn't jive with comments from Cedric that I've read in which he said the song is about the Salem witch trial events and the attitudes toward the women involved.

Virginia Mott
this is how i see it. All my own opinion
i think every song has a deeper meaning than what they say

Thanks for clarification.

This isn't highschool dude

The tremulants look like the morph creature from Magic the Gathering. The classic Dominaria morph creature type, not the Tarkir Morph/Mega Morph creature...

If I meet Cedric one day and he tells me this isn't about addiction in any way I will die willingly.

anal rape

goddammit. . what a record.

She tells me I'm not capable
of what they accuse me

Pffffffffffffftttt... <3

i love dicks

Cool, me too

They started tapping into something else.. as said by them in interviews, they started fearing for their lives by an unexplained presence.. Roadies from their band started dying. Songs about demon possessions, dark shit, and the unnatural, The Mars Volta is a trip if you really know their history..

Your comment is TOTALEEE GAAAAAYY!!

WTF I wanna hear more about this story

Nah, they probably just did a bunch of drugs and started losing their minds. Great music though!

LucidVision1 Yeah they did drugs during hard times, but rehabilit8d after d loss of 2 f their friends! Julio Venegas & Jim Ward...! And d gr8 music continued while kinda sober (Cedric was smoking weed like crazy! He said n an interview) 👸👑🌠🌺😚✌

Death At A Rave! Yup u got it! U truly understand what The Mars Volta was about! Their real purpose n meaning! 👑😎⭐😚✌

Mars fukin Volta coñio!

Getting high without getting high.

+Justin Gutierrez EXACTO.

+Casandra Solís tu si sabes

J G Getting high naturally with music...! Trust me I understand very well...! 😎❤💋

i'm double high!

J G Thanks! 👑😎⭐😚✌

Octahedron is my fave TMV album!!

I smell a televators.. *prepares to cry*

Ghast101 just came from there. Here's some tissues.

Fucking wish these guys would have never broken up. Last of REAL original musical artist. They weren't just musicians. They made music that transcends genres.

Brah. Death Grips. Get Noided.

@Robert Krieger Death Grips and Mars Volta are objectively the only good music.

@Phantom Cooper weirdly true

Paul Anstey I’d love for that to happen as well, but I’m not confident in their ability to make music worth listening to anymore.

Zombie Space Pilot 100%

Thanks for the tunes, Ikey.  sad to see you go

...Don't desert me
I'm not waiting

i have listened to this song like 103 times in the past 3 or 4 days.  What makes Mars Volta so addicting?  MSG for the ears.

haley k ME. TOO.

Esta canción me sonó mucho a una de Pink Floyd :3

An absolute classic ♥

Coincido, a mí también me gustan mucho los Mars Volta pero hay que estar de cierto humor para aguantar más de tres canciones seguidas. 

estas chavo

No, estoy chava, chavo. 

Bueno, eso es contigo. Yo ya varias veces me puse a escuchar toda la discografía en una tarde de corrido.

no hay que ''estar de humor'' para disfrutar de su arte c:

Entonces no creo que te gusten mucho que se diga...

NUMB BELOW THE NECK...

THIS song is about the salem witch trials. are you talking about another song?

Here and now, the same is applied to me. D.R.

lol I've been playing skyrim while listening to them

either cedric and omar plays a lot of the elder scrolls games or developers of TES hears a lot of mars volta. or both reads a lot of german philosophy and greek mithology.

Eros Philiac And Demonology 2! That's why d album art n d lyrics. They all have a meaning! 👑🌠⭐😎😚✌

One of their most underrated songs... TMV truly was something else.

Cornelious, you're not "normal" by any stretch of the word, get some help or take yourself out, no one deserves to be sacrificed in the name of your own self centered stupidity. I wish I could take you out myself, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jail, you're just not worth it.

this is why The Mars Volta is my favorite band of all time (diverse, not predictable songs). GREAT! a LOOOONG stretch before I find the music that complements my life so perfectly. EVER!

Why did Omar have to be a slut and fuck other bands?

ChiefofTribe Cus he likes variety! 😹😂👑🌠⭐😎😽✌

Probably an ignorant small minded Mars Volta fan who dissses this because it was nothing like De Loused or Frances The Mute.
I know i was probably being kind of an ass there but as a Mars Volta fan, you should not slate the bands later works just because they purposely changed direction. Not liking them just for your different tastes is fine though.

Onmysheet yea i kinda dropped listening to them after amputechture after loving them so long. recently listening to their last 3 albums and now have a deeper appreciation for what they are trying to do. transcend the past safety and comfort. pridgen on drums is astounding. love this song (even without drums) and album. next up noctourniquet

who is the asshole who disliked this

tyler lorenz some kinda rapper I guess! 👹😹😂💩

the sound of alien souls- quite interesting, quite deep and talented- yet... it is indeed inferior. what I mean is, there is a huge hierarchy of intelligence in the galaxy- and, as for example, "Gorgoroth - Sign of an Open Eye" is a good example of that deep soul, but a more "bright" manifestation of divinity.

I can't listen to this song and don't sing, I don't know why... its so beautiful!

thank you bro :) awesome song! Mars volta is a magnificent group.

listen vedamalady bro

Just do it to yourself and keep everyone else out of it.

devil daughters.

What kind of fiend has a vault of deviled otters?!

emergencyfox HAHAHA.

This is much more than a song....... :O

one of there best songs

In my HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever created by TMV...
The atmosphere, the guitar, the lyrics... DAMN, everything was meant to be perfect on this track.
It seems that there's 189 guys with an excellent musical taste and zero dumbshits...

"The ghost veins gossip,
You can hear them if you try..."

Crazy stuff i love it

seriously, seek yourself some help. right away. it'll be the best for all of us

I am straight up addicted to this song

InvaderChrissy Me too. Plays in my head all day. Must listen to it a few times everyday ...or be miserable.

Mars volta..Why u no play dis song?

I know pretty much all their albums front to back (Excluding scabdates) and this song Is still one of my favorites by them. I know most people hate octaherdron but i take it for what it is and i love it! of course if you compare it to De-loused in the comatorium its going to lose. But if your'e comparing any of their albums to each other,you clearly know nothing about this band.

Check out the band "Audiobakery" too! They're new and I think soon to be bigger!

cause the pics are of 2011.. cedric has short hair in this year...

jaram się do szpiku kości xD Mars Volta to synonim dobrego dnia :)

this is amazing

don't disturb me right now..i'm floating in space..

My favourite song right now :D

gia to moutro sou k mono re!
