On Veiled Men
Woe Is Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For these hands like houses will protect you from the storm.
The lyrics of Woe Is Me's song On Veiled Men describe an individual's strong conviction and loyalty towards their religious beliefs as they express the idea of taking revenge on behalf of their god. The words "Murder the man who devoured your god" suggest that someone has defiled or taken away the object of their worship in a very dishonorable way, and the only way to avenge it is by taking the perpetrator's life. The use of the word "murder" instead of "kill" also implies a sense of anger and personal offense that goes beyond the objective act of taking a life.
The next line, "For these hands like houses will protect you from the storm," suggests that the singer is willing to lay down their life to defend their god, their beliefs, and anyone who shares them. The metaphor of hands like houses signifies the idea of providing shelter and protection from danger, similar to how a house provides a safe haven from a storm. Together, these lyrics evoke the message of religious fervor, devotion, and possibly even fanaticism.

They need to make more albums. They're letting sucky bands control the music when they could terminate it with their beast skillz.

No, they got it from the movie "the science of sleep" I think. Woe, Is Me actually put the name in their song as a shout out to them. WIM and HLH became good friends while they were recording their albums :)
Psytex Anonymous
