If you listen to her live or acoustic singing she sounds basically the same. She practiced and studied singing really hard to get that piercing, metallic quality to her voice.

      "The earthly cord was cut" comes from a creation myth in Taoism in which two deities fought until they destroyed the pillars uniting the earth and the heavens, which left the world broken and made it profane.
      "Thunder is no longer the voice of God
      // Lightning is no longer a moralizing missile // Knowledge is no longer shaped like a snake" an allusion to works by Carl Jung, where he describes how modern humans have essentially lost a primordial connection to natural events. Obviously it's also a theme seen in Christianity, where Eve is "tempted" with knowledge by the Devil in the form of a snake, by offering her the forbidden fruit, which some theorize were actually grapes.
      "What's left of the alphabet is deep underground // In places without faces", I take it as meaning all the knowledge from past civilizations
      "Everything we want will require unfathomable violence" is a reference to a (fake) quote attributed to US presidential candidate Marianne Williamson. [Caroline said: “I started thinking about how to re-harmonize myself, and my music, with the reality that there is a destructive side to everything, with the recognition that you are mortal, that you cannot save the world, that there are greater forces that you submit to.”]

      Absolutely. Feels like a poem to Dionysus about Dionysus himself. Its a god greatly reduced to hedonism even if he was the axis mundii of the universe itself according to the orphics. This song shows that Caroline truly understands what the god is about, not the pop culture impression that we can attribute to it's historical roots in the moral degeneracy of the Roman Empire

      @@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 actually he's closer to Jesus. He was along with Apollo the maintainer of healthy civilization by keeping the spirit clean of ego and unhealthy attachment. The Jesus you're familiar with is actually modified. He was originally very feminine (very Dionysus) and or pudgy but Constantine while trying to enforce the superiority of Christianity decided to make jesus more appealing to the masses by making him appear more like Zeus/Jupiter. It's funny that the spread of such faith actually was done by a man who believed so little in it. That is also why the angels that are depicted in christian art are more like Greek gods like Eros rather than their original weird and scary imagery.

    I can't quite put my finger on WHY I like Caroline, but I remember reading a comment when I first discovered her years ago about how she sounds like a pop star from 2030 and while that's right around the corner, I can agree with the sentimentality that she sounds like she's from an era that has never existed and never will. This song so reminds me of 'Door', but its so wholly unique its not even a fair comparison. It just taps into something, for lack of a better word, primal. You want to exist in the world she's painting, but it feels like Gaiman's Mirrormask. There's something off about all of it yet it's incredibly enticing. Entrancing.

    I believe that her picking the grapes is a symbol of abundance. She then makes wine of it and serves this knowledge to the kids, new generation of people that can change our future. They are the ones that can make something good of all the progress (and also regress) that the wine symbolizes.

    This song approaches Peter Gabriel / Brian Eno territory for me. It's a testament of how far Polachek has come as a songwriter and producer since graduating from University 16 years ago. That metallic guitar solo at 3:12 is a stroke of brilliance, as is the use of the Trinity School choir to close out the song and this great album. We know awards don't matter, but surely DIWTTIY deserves a Grammy nomination.

    Billions Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    Psycho, priceless
    Good in a crisis
    Working the angles
    Oh whoa, Billions!
    Sexting sonnets
    Under the tables
    Tangled in cables
    Oh whoa, Billions!
    Salted (Ah), flavor (Ah)
    Lies like a sailor
    But he loves like a painter
    Oh whoa, Billions!
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Hand it over (Ah), broken (Ah)
    Give me the closure
    Here's a pearl, I'm the oyster
    Oh whoa, Billions!
    [Chorus]
    Ah, ah
    Say, say, say, say something to me (Ahh)
    Ah, ah
    Say, say, say, say something to me (Ahh)
    [Verse 2]
    Headless angel
    Body upgraded
    But it's dead on arrival
    Oh whoa oh, Billions
    Twisted, manic
    Cornucopeiac, yeah
    My cup overfloweth
    Oh whoa, Billions!
    [Bridge]
    I never felt so close to you
    I never felt so...
    I never felt so close to you
    I never felt so close to you
    [Verse 3]
    Psycho, priceless
    Good in a crisis
    Working the angles
    Oh whoa, Billions!
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Hand it over (Ah), broken (Ah)
    Give me the closure
