Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Men Eater's song, "Black," are open to interpretation but one possible way to understand them is through the lens of healing from emotional pain. The first line, "Bless the holly above all ages," could be interpreted as a call to honor and respect spiritual practices that have been around for generations, as a way of finding guidance and healing from past pains. The next line, "Scars should lead them," suggests that past hurts and traumas can serve as guiding markers to lead one toward healing, rather than something to be hidden away or ashamed of.


The final line, "Always trust the old man to heal your wounds," is particularly intriguing. It could be taken literally, as a reference to seeking the help of an experienced healer or wise, older person in order to recover from past trauma. It could also be interpreted more figuratively, as a reminder to seek out support and guidance from those who have already navigated similar struggles and can point the way toward healing.


Overall, the lyrics of "Black" suggest that while emotional pain can be difficult to overcome, it's possible to find healing by looking to timeless practices, acknowledging the scars that have been left behind, and seeking the guidance of those who have already walked the path to recovery.

I guess it depends on which animal is very dangerous to be around

In the Guinness book of world records, there is a section about the most crocodile fatalities, where 10000 Japanese soldiers marched through a swamp and 20 came out alive

A couple of fun facts:
a) Pattersn did not exagerated the numbers of the man eaters of tsavo, the study done to the lions show the animals ate around 37 humans, however the study was based on isotpic traces left by meat eating animals, nonthless moren than half the victims of the Lions where from India and where vegetarian, so they could not be traced and in the last months of the killings the Lions did not consumed their victims, or sometimes took around just 1KG of flesh, this suggest PattersonÂŽs history is likely to be tue about the victims numers and even more

b) Jim Corbette more than a hunter was a conservationist, not only he avenged the death of over 800 humans, but he created a conservationist park for animals and became a lawyer of tigers and other animals rights, this action prevented conflict between animals and nhumans likely saving many more lifes in both sides

c) Gustave is likely to have consumed much more than the 385 deaths he was chargued on, though is thought the number had been inflated by military and guerilla blaming deaths on Gustave, what is true is the animal indeed killed loads of humans. Nonthless Lafaye reported a hunter finally got down Gustave some years ago.

Also, Patterson would have no vested interest in exaggerating the kill count– it would only ruin his reputation more.

April Gosa

plus Patterson also said the Lions did not always eat every victim they would sometimes just kill them or only partially consume a victim he thought they were doing it for the kick of it more than the need to eat

Kenneth Anderson has done the same service in South India, as Jim Corbett did in the North. Read their books, they both have different styles of writing.. Anderson's writing has more of a humane insight into the lives of locals, and Corbett has written more vividly about the beauty of nature.. Good reads ❀ I love their books

Eric Breese

I’m surprised Kenneth Anderson doesn’t have a movie made about him.
