A coded song?

Comment comment by Eye.Of.Sage on 07 December 2006

Aren't you looking into this song a little too much. You are over-analyzing the song. If it's a poem, the words might mean something, but it's just a song. You should realize by now that modern day songs contain no meaning whatsoever. The author of the song obviously tried to make the line rhyme.

[I mean seriously, does the author know what Occam's razor really mean?]

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey ... by VnutZ :: NR8

If it's a poem, the words might mean something, but it's just a song. You should realize by now that modern day songs contain no meaning whatsoever.

For once, I agree with Eye.Of.Sage on something. I mean seriously, does this nonsense by Beck mean anything?

  • In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
  • Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
  • With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
  • Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
  • Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
  • Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control
  • Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d
  • Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
  • Someone came in sayin’ I’m insane to complain
  • About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
  • Don’t believe everything that you breathe
  • You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
  • So shave your face with some mace in the dark
  • Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park
  • Yo. cut it.

no they aren't over analyzing anything, open your mind and ears, not every band is slipknot or the such. some people still have thoughts and Clutch is a band that genuinely have something to say, albeit in their own quirky way. you shouldn't generalize music like that.

On the contrary... by Anonymous :: NR0

On the contrary this song has quite a clear meaning, albeit hidden by obscure mythological references. Occam's razor is a principle meaning that a theory should make as few assumptions as possible. Elysium is an area of the Greek underworld where great heroes would go. The new Praetorian refers to the oligarchy of Roman politics, where only the rich could participate in government, and how that is happening again. The "seven habits" refers to omens, and how fear is used to manipulate people. The rest you can probably decipher for yourself.

Btw: If you're still not convinced, check out the video. The singer is preaching in a church and the congregation are all robots. Much more obvious symbolism than the song.
