Lyrics for A Walk as interpreted by Misanthropos

A Walk Lyrics
I'm going for a walk
Not the after dinner kind
I'm gonna use my hands
And I'm gonna use my mind

And who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
You can't even tie your own haggard shoes
Your cloest is a mess, and your backyard's falling down
And I have no grand ideas or intentions of sticking around

I'm gonna build a world
Independent and Exempt
All alone I'll be an empire
With no mortgage and no rent

And I don't need to live in your stinking zoo
You can't even feed the animals donated to you
Your storage sheds are ramshackled, flies decorate the walls
And you expect me to die here in this shit-filled tiny stall?
And I know you're watching! everything I do
Call me threat to your children call me socially unglued
Call me master of insanity, unable to relate
Call me lazy, bane, and filthy
Call me monstrous reprobate

I'm going for a walk, and there's nothing you can do
'Cuz I don't have to live like you

So I'm going for a walk

This song is pretty self-explanatory. He's gonna live his life his own way and in his own world. He' also criticizing the world we live in today by calling it a "stinking zoo". A zoo where the "storage sheds are ramshackled" and "flies decorate the walls". He also saying "why must I listen to your rules, regulations and live my life according to your standards(model citizen) when you cant even keep this filthy dead world you've create alive and functioning".

ok, you're all retarded, this song is about how god treated the devil, and how the devil has left to make his own world, his own empire (hell obviously). and how he was treated very wrongly, along with the rest of the angels in heaven, and how he needs them to do things for him; eg. to tie his shoelaces

It could go either way. If you ask me, you're the retarded one. A song can be interpreted in more than one way.

Frankly i recon this song has a sort of 'Break free' feel about it - And I don't need to live in your stinking zoo...

Awesome song! Y'know I think the part about a zoo is saying that he doesn't want to be some pseudo-rebel cariacture that people adore, I.E., Kurt Cobain.

This song is about freedom. Anti-authoritarian song about how he wants to run his own life how he wants.

If this was there only song I heard I would guess they were libertarian. This song is one of the only ones that critizies democracy and government.
(wish more did, I find it hard to believe Brett or Greg can be smart enough to see through the haze of religion but can't see the problem with government.

just like to say yes, even though you can interpret a song however you want to,

the point we kindof are aiming to find out what the hell the writer is talking about,

see if I interpreted the bible as being a bunch of science fiction clown blooper humor about killer whales,
thats awsome, but if I start telling everyone that, We kindof lose sight of what the story is about yea?
