MARS VOLTA

- The Widow Lyrics

He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shardes
They're the kind that will talk
Through a weezing 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

Everynight
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

What is the meaning behind The Widow lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, The Widow is a song by The Mars Volta that features a protagonist with black lungs—the toxin of a relationship or an addiction that drains them to the last breath. The song's verses show the fight of being caught up in this force that destroys, consequently resulting in feeling lonely and crying for salvation. The widow lyrics highlight above all the negative emotional state of despair, angst, solitude, heartbreak, and the will to be free. Furthermore, the song points out the aspects of isolation and loneliness, addiction and dependency, and shame and guilt together with their negative effects. The lyrics incorporate adulthood themes and vividness that might not be appropriate for under-13s like those of addiction and existential struggles. To be sure, there is no profanity or graphic scenes, but the song's general atmosphere and the subject matter are such that a PG-13 rating is justified.
