Over and over

Laid back,
Laid back,
Laid back we'll give you play back.
Laid back,
Laid back,
Laid back I'll give you play back.
Over and over and over and over and over,
Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal,
The joy or repetition really is in you.
Under and under and under and under and under,
The spell of repetition really is on you,
And when I feel this way I really am with you.

Laid back,
Laid back,
Laid back We'll give you play back.
Over and over and over and over and over,
Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal,
The joy of repetition really is in you,
Under and under and under and under and under,
The spell of repetition really is on you,
And when you look this way I really am with you.

Doo doo doo do do do do do

I started thinking what you wanted him to you (hell you)
I got to thinking and I knew just what to do (hell you)
I started thinking what you wanted him to do (hell you hell you hell you)

    General Comment:I think that
    k-i-s-s-i-n-g: romantic and beautiful start to any great relationship
    s-e-x-i-n-g: it's beautiful but unromantic and primal like the monkey
    c-a-s-i-o: relatinoship reliable, comfortable, really nice but repetitious
    p-o-k-e- the relationship turns playful but also potentially harmful
    y-o-u: he focuses on and blames her in an effort to turn it around
    m-e: When that fails, he blames himself and tries to reform
    i- There is no me, because to have me he needs the "you" which is gone. He is simply "I" now, one letter all alone. Note how the poem creates a triangle and a perfect right angle, and how each line has one less letter than the first line. As things happen over and over over time, the letters and the love decreases.

    sums up the entire meaning of the song, and his entire idea of a relationship. And then the relationship is further reduced to 700 hz, there is no emotion, just basic composure

    General Comment:i defdef thought it was about sex which made it all pretty and sexy and i made me like it even more. but i think it could be a jab at critics' comments and i think it's cool that it can be interpreted in more than one way.

    General Comment:maybe this is a song about sex (no doubt about it) but it's sex with a person who used to be in a serious (not only sexual) relation with the singer. It's made for an ex-girlfriend (or boyfriend) that can't be totally forgotten, and when they meet, once in a while, they just can't avoid it... (8)the smell of repetition really is on you(8)

    General Comment:I think Hantakun has it spot on. Its obvious with the chorus having lines such as "the joy of repetition really is in you" preceded by "over and over and over and over and over". There is no indication of an attack on critics.

    General Comment:Isn't it quite obvious this song is about sex, rather than some attack on music critics? Since most of the songs on the album seem to be about the end of a relationship and the hard work of getting back on one´s feet sfter a breakup, this one sticks out a bit, focusing on the immediate physical pleasures of sex. "When I feel this way I really am with you", I think is a way of saying that sex can be a means to experiencing a deep sense of closeness between two people, but at the same time it's so primal and in a way stupid, like a monkey with a miniature cymbal...
