God Of War (The breakdown)

The sound


I wanted a song with an "Epic" spirit to it.


It starts with a balance of "bells" and rolling cymbals climbing into a slow winding beat. Which is a mere simple reverb enhanced kick, and a "CLACK of a snare and a clap.


Then behind that comes suddenly, a group of brass blowing beneath a hard raw synthesizer.


All mixed in with some cinematic SFX enhancing your visual experience. 


The Message


To be quite honest I'm not so sure the lyrics match the instrumental.


I wanted it to be. . "voluptuous" but also have a message. 
The verses per-say don't truly attack like I wanted, but I believe the chorus is the near strong point.


Looking at this song from a certain point of view you can see it's message.


    --"Warning, her body is a lonely mans paradise"


This womens (or mans) body is a desperate persons enjoyment.


   --"Her powers can't be seen by the naked eye"


She carries a "power" inside her that can't be seen by bear eyes.


   --"She's known to leave a strong man paralyzed, or terrorized."


This "power" can definitely leave a man (or women) whom thinks they are healthy, powerful, paralyzed, dead and terrorized to unimaginable heights.


  --"Warning, I know you got a sex drive that can't be slowed, she's known to leave a strong mans body cold"


Your sex drive is undoubtedly something no one can slow at the moment, but mind you she/he can leave your body cold (Dead)


  --"Better not get caught in her undertow, man let her go"


Don't get caught in this trap, the seduction, the imagery, and whats best is to let them go before you are hurt.




You may interpret this song in different ways.


One may be a warning to stay away from those "infected" with disease. Knowing the teenage population (or human population for that matter) is obsessed with sex, and forgetting that AIDs and HIV is STILL relevant and out there. It hasn't just disappeared off the face of the earth.


Another way to view it may be, this person is just trouble all together. The voice giving you the "warning" is a sub-conscious telling you that "Sex" will trap you in a "Bad romance" with this person. 


Since I'm a very visual person I definitely imagined scenes of this song.


"God Of War" in my eyes showed a "Jungle, Aztec, Mayan" outlook. With a shaman telling the young warriors star-studded by the "beautiful" queen of village, to know about her powers unseen to the naked eye.


Showing glimpses of her seducing her men, and killing them quite suddenly afterwards.


Trust me. . when I think "Music videos" I think "Feature Film", and it most definitely wouldn't be your average 4:00 music video.
