| Aesop Rock – Water Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"God had a flask i can prove it" i think he's saying jesus used tricks to turn water into wine. thats my rigid translation. id say "At here" is adhere wingless anime -> weightless anime idol. "My every when acted upon has gone loopy" -> "my every whim acted upon is called loopy" "whole quaters" -> "hope quotas" i agree with neonatuku but have wrestled with the possiblity that aesop is referring to holy water. theres a lot of religion references here. i cant help but think of percy shelly's "ozymandius" at the end of verse 1. |

| Aesop Rock – Coffee (feat. John Darnielle) Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
heres my opinion: the chorus is referring to the useless "how are you today?" banter we get from everyone, specifically coffee vendors. hence walkie talkie. the man with the prickly outer shell doesn't like to be bothered, i guess. i think the end of the first verse is talking about how the promise of riches leads men off to war. he starts out abiding as he wishes, then walks with a dime, then a diamond, then off to the firing line, at that point hes brainwashed and told to just walk, play no mind to weaker. the second verse is a little clearer to read, aes wakes up in this materialistic society where the guy with the most shit wins right? so he says thats nonsense cooked up buy the rich to keep us striving for stupid shit. then with regard to the govt- aes is like lets have peace, you guys pray do your thing, help others, but just because we don't support that war don't bring beef (barbecue) and ostracize us. finally he brings it back around to his nature as he describes hating to do jackass interviews at the peak of his career with people who don't seem to understand his work. He would rather go into hiding and quit, but only to rise again to record some more bomb shit like it was riding a bike, hehe. a few shoutouts then fuck you peace. there's probably a few layers i'm missing, whatever it still jams! |

Anyone know what is being side in the background during the chorus? I like the use of the financas marking another death as a stat. |
