Just thought I'd post some "Terminology"... Eunuch - Castrated Man Provocateur - Provocative? Concertina - is either a special way to fold paper or an instrument like an acordian but with out the keys. Ataxia - I think it means bruised bones. Copulation - to have sex. I'll post some more later  got any more post 'em here. |

i have a great deal of respect for cedric...
language is expression, expression is freedom...you're more free when you have a wide vocabulary...one of the premises of many of George Orwell's works...check out "Politics and the English Language"...
with that said, i think Cedric is doing a good thing for his fans...exposure to new words opens our minds to new ideas, building a vocabulary and freeing us from the chains of ignorance...anyone use any of the words he uses (in both ATDI and TMV) throughout your daily vocabulary? i know i use atleast 2 of them...
peace

I used enfilade during an old term paper on the JFK assassination. I'm sure I use others but I can't really recall them at the moment.

you should check out any of William S. Burroughs writing, he pioneered the cut and paste method.blending together seemingly non-sensical phrases to create amazing writing

The title of this thread would make a great tv show. Cedric comes in and puts his sweater in the closet and then changes his shoes to sneakers. Then spends the whole show making up words. Omar could be the mailman.

Eunuch Provacator isn't used in the sense of a man without balls, but a man who serves the king, in the focus of the "Al Sarat".

Eunuch Provacator isn't used in the sense of a man without balls, but a man who serves the king, in the focus of the "Al Sarat". what do you mean? these are my guesses on the meaning: "the al-sirat hides behind a wardrobe of eunuchs" sounds disgraceful somehow.. castrates are/were miserable beings, and hiding behind the protection/alibi of such slaves must be pitiful.. but I have no clue of what this would actually mean. OR: this song seems to be about sexually transmitted diseases. in the light of that, one migh guess that this line means that "paradise" is behind a barrier of pain or something to that effect. the risks of sexual intercourse, or something  . or simply put: the pleasures sometimes have their price. also, this al-sirat (paradise) could be the one that you'd reach when you die, which could be about the lethal sexually transmitted diseases. it's not totally clear who's the "eunuch provocateur". the narrator? (Cedric).. or does the song itself provoke.. and does he/it provoke eunuchs or is he/it a eunuch that provokes? haha.. I really like words.. |

Good post fug. I dunno, that was probably Cedrics aim to make up a song name with multi meaning which all connect in some way. How clever.

How clever. thanks... yeah, although I appreciate some more straight-forward lyrics quite often, this kind of challenging lyrics that are open to interpretations are great.. |

See, it seems to make sense to me in the sense that he hides behind a wall of eunuchs, being that he hides behind his men/servants. But I've read the theorys on how it's based on an STD and I guess that would kind of tie in. I dunno.  |
