There was once a boy
With knives stuck in his voice
All he wanted, all he wanted was a little affection
Until one day he came
To tempt his mother's taste
All she wanted, all she wanted was to spread her infection
Spit and spindle we refuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her broken thoughts
They've stolen all my love
Buried in absentia
Can you hear my vitreous heart
Breaking in absentia
Smokestacks burn
I won't turn
I won't ever let you go
They've stolen all my loveYes, they've stolen all my love
He returns alone
Changes here nor there
Does he want some
Does he want a little insurrection?
Withhold my regrets
Insomnatic fate
Opt out of incision
Tear down the reason
I've just gotta get out of here
Spit and spindle we refuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her restless limbs
They've stolen all my love
Buried in absentia
Can you hear my vitreous heart
Breaking in absentia
Smokestacks burn
I won't turn
I won't ever let you go
They've stolen all my love
Yes, they've stolen all my love
Taken by the night
Dye the gates remembrance
Check the puzzle, does it fit
I am alpha and omega
And on the seventh day I rise
Past the pangs of my resistance
When the son gives up his throne
What becomes of this theft
Dasehra, make these shackles go away
Dasehra, make these shackles go away
Dasehra, won't you help me stand my ground if I should fall
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra, as long as I remember
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra, as long as I remember
The lyrics IN ABSENTIA of MARS VOLTA is also present in the album Noctourniquet (2012)
The Mars Volta è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi a El Paso, Texas, nel 2001. L'eclettismo musicale è una caratteristica distintiva del gruppo, che fonde elementi di progressive rock, avant-garde, funk, jazz fusion, punk e noise. I membri fondatori sono Cedric Bixler-Zavala (voce) e Omar Rodríguez-López (chitarra), precedentemente coinvolti nel progetto At the Drive-In. La band ha pubblicato sei album in studio, tra cui il pluripremiato "De-Loused in the Comatorium" (2003) e "Frances the Mute" (2005). Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da improvvisazioni lunghe e complesse, cambiamenti di ritmo repentini e testi spesso surreali. The Mars Volta si è sciolto nel 2017 ma ha annunciato il suo ritorno nel 2022 con un nuovo album, "The Mars Volta". Tra i brani più rappresentativi: "Inertiatic ESP", "Drunkship of Lanterns", "Televators" e "Cotopaxi".
