this thing cld put JD out a job
occasionally you'll think about a goats song, one that you really love, and then go "oh, i should look at some quotes about this song on the wiki." sometimes you shouldn't do that
<- cursed to have the most niche and correct opinions on the saw franchise (no one knows him (adam saw) better than me)
omg the last place i saw you alive is about saw it even says it in the title. the last place i. saw. you alive. sorry if this is incomprehensible it's midnight and i'm in saw 2004 mode
okay okay so first, the obvious one: the last place i saw you alive. being alive is kind of a big deal in the saw universe, it's the whole reason that jigsaw ever puts anyone in his traps, and i'm thinking of this from the perspective of lawrence, thinking about adam... the last place lawrence saw adam alive was in the saw trap. important part of the movie.
the second thing is a lil silly but like. Gordon avenue. lawrence gordon. of course tmg is known for having ultra specific lyrics, and this is what got me thinking of this in the first place. it's probably a coincidence because i'm not doing like a serious "what is this song about" just connecting the dots to make it a saw song. however. jd probably(??) has seen saw.
"I walk the narrow path these days I can't see going back to my old ways Call to mind sometimes that bloody, stinking mess Us worms turn into butterflies, I guess"
a big theme in the saw movie (i have seen. the first one.) is transformation, moving on, growing as a person. that's what jigsaw is trying to encourage, people not going back to their old ways via giving them loads and loads of trauma usually in the form of messes that are both stinking and bloody. Worms turning into butterflies... it's not totally possible or scientifically accurate but it seems to be happening anyway. Key word "seems".
then the third verse: it was special, it was deadly. it was ours and then it wasn't. these are vague and could describe almost any scenario if you're creative enough, but it doesn't take that much of a stretch to apply them to the bathroom trap lawrence and adam were in. it was special. it was deadly (for adam and the orderly guy). it was his and adam's... then it wasn't.
finally a lot of the song seems focused on denial. i love this part... the narrator feels like he's clenching his teeth and forcing himself to smile the entire time, because goddamn it's not a big deal you're not here anymore! why would it be a big deal? what's wrong? grief? no, not really. not anymore. lawrence definitely feels like the kind of guy to go. no. no that didn't happen to me and adam wasn't important, we didn't bond. we shared nothing. i'm not sad i didn't go back. i don't regret it. it's just the way the traffic flowed, you know? couldn't get back. oh well. he left some. some photos behind. some camera equipment. you know. some memories. he left some of his memories with me and i have memories of him laying there and talking, or standing. and the image burned into my retinas of him taking a drag. but you know. it's fine. it's how the math works, i passed algebra 2. i know about subtraction.
i'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on this! come on into my ask box and drop the things in your brains
okay reread this and still mostly feel like the pepe silva meme However "I know about subtraction" goes. jesus christ. sometimes midnight fandom eassy writer dorian spits fucking fire
if we're saw posting on mountain goat main, i'd like to talk about my ideas on lawrence, adam, and marduk t-shirt men's room incident.
some spoilers for saw, obviously. i'd recommend you watch the movies with little spoilers going in, if you want to watch them at all, that is. i'm going to reference some things from later movies, but nothing incredibly spoilery. also, this will be long
What tMG lyric is stuck in your head right now? mine is “I went mining for gold, I struck pure. fresh. zinc. god, god will give him blood. to drink. hey hey hey” from Standard Bitter Love Song #8
& btw I'm doing this for revenge. I'm doing this to try and stay true. I'm doing this for the ones they left to twist in the wind and I'm doing this for you. If you even care.
