Sometimes it feels like we're as small as an ant farm, aka, the whole world is being manipulated/watched by some higher power, but we can't quite reach it ("no one I can call"). In the regard in which I was writing/conveying that symbolism, picking an ant farm to compare it to is spot on.
As for the storm being malicious, of course there's no malicious intent behind the storm, but in a human's eyes as their fucking house is being torn apart, yeah, it's gonna look malicious as if it has "no regard for human life". I like to have my lyrics have deeper meanings and use poetic elements, so you have to re-read/listen to get the full effect of what I'm saying. I disagree wholeheartedly with saying it's lazy writing.
Thanks for the feed though.
If you were going for a metaphor about the world you shouldn't ask the
listener if
he feels
small as an ant farm. It's unclear you meant that to be a metaphor for existence. As for your use of 'maliciously' ..it's whatever, not a fan of 'it was torn apart maliciously'. To me that sounds amateur. Again, not trying to piss anyone off but if you are already done progressing as an artist, then what's the point... ya know?
As for the tooth-sword thing Triple, yeah, I definitely wasn't familiar with the passage. However.. "A sword is coming from his teeth" is an interesting thing to say, and I don't think I'm at fault for the confusion. Also an interesting thing to note: I get the vibe that you're a good dude..but you come off as preachy with a splash of loony on this track. You say you only make music for yourself...but:
A robe splashed in blood yeah you will lose the fight
But before this actions done I pray you choose the Christ
If what you say is true then why put these lines in there? If what you say isn't true then realize this isn't helping your cause. It's offputting.. like, if I don't believe in christ then I'm going to get slashed with his tooth sword? Please, I'll yank out my left-incisor and shiv his ass.
