monkeykid797 it's quoted from Bukowskis poem that have the same title..google it,you'll love his books if you like reading

Funny that a band in 1992 titled their album "Burning in Water, drowning in flame."

[@NVVD1117]

I went to high school with Steve the guitar player. I met Steven in a class called Tech Theater. Our teacher was very cool. He let Steven and I bring our guitars and amplifiers and jam during lunch. Had a lot of great times with Steve.

[@Nomad5980]

I'm burning in water and I'm drowning in fire... awesome lyric

[@metalheadwithjokes]

davidwaynec yeah i know it reminds me of breed when otep says "we can plant a house we can build a tree SHE SAID"

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

Personally I'm more impressed by "beneath these piles of stinking light" (or maybe it's "pyres", either way, cool imagery). The other lyric is just a paradox, something self contradictory that your brain can't resolve at all, but the other one is just a riddle, one which could in fact be solved. They both get you to stop and think, break out of the habit of mindless acceptance, but the latter offers you more hope that your new train of thought might actually lead somewhere.

[@BlueBerry-BerryBlue]

I remember vividly. I was scanning my satellite signals for new TV stations I didnt know. It was 2002 in germany. I stumbled upon a music video station called IMusic1 and at 2am after satyricon aired there it was. The music video of warhead. I was enthralled. Been a fan ever since.

For me this is the most sexy and aggressive female voice, I've you get to this level Kimberly give me a call 😁, just kidding, this is just a fucking amazing band

[@harshreviews289]

This is one of my favorite Otep songs for vocals because it doesn't use false distortion

[@samuelsmithiv7364]

I sung this song while I went through cancer treatment. I rise, rebel, resist the disease of the government machine. Thank you lyrical goddess?

[@kellif7223]

Destiny Martin ugh yes or an ear orgasm

[@ephex3094]

Yes

[@lauramattinglylove]

best scream in the world

[@jewishparasite100]

She's too focused on "look, I'm a woman and I can scream metal too". I like male metal singers more. They're more confident, more comfortable with the genre and most of them don't forget to actually sing well. Maybe it's got something to do with the voice too. The scream is ok, but she sounds like a teenage boy going through voice break when she starts singing words. Evanescence does it right. I don't listen to that, but it deserves respect, because Amy Lee knows her limits and uses the feminine sound to her advantage. She doesn't overdo anything, like this chick. Amy would put her on a leash and kick her into a doghouse.

[@PoppaMagiViewsNovember]

Classic. One of the absolute best songs and videos ever created.

[@angrypotato6637]

Am I the only one who sees the irony in this song being censored?

No and what sucks the most is the word they replaced it with. It totally changes the meaning of the song. Really Otep? Your with the Fascist? It's just sad!

[@jeremychute4433]

it is pretty ironic, but the only way you're gonna reach a lot of people with a message like this is to go through a mainstream process like censorship

@r3s!d3n7tp4$t4-g!r1:) lol wym? it's Utah, just the way things are in general over there since it's a conservative state and the Mormon homeland, it probably reminded him due to juxtaposition between the attitudes expressed in this music with that of most of Utah. No offense but I hope you're not American, as this wasn't even hard for me to figure out and I'm fucking Australian haha, no one should ever need something so significant in their own country explained to them by someone on almost exactly on the other side of the planet in a country a 20+ hour flight that you can't even be flown directly to/from (having to stop in Asia to re-fuel etc)...
