Good god I have had these lyrics in my head for three days and I need to figure them out.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_LxyhCJpsM

 

The lyrics that play out the most are

 

Now dance, fucker, dance

 we never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

 

You’re gonna go far, kid

 

walked a thousand miles in a god damn storm!

and it's right between the eyes

and it's right between the eyes

 

Help me!  :sad:

Lord of flies seems like a good hint in the lyrics. 

 

My interpretation of the song is that you, the listener, the one the song is about, are a kid. You learn that society is fucked up and that the way to be an adult is through lying and threatening and killing the true self of other innocents including your own true self, like established society and your parents did to you. The song is not meant to be illuminating, it is meant as propaganda, in my opinion, like Lord of the Flies was - the message that the band and the book wants you to believe is that cruelty is your nature, that it is human nature to be violent and cruel.

 

The song is the initiation ritual of your corruption, and you carry the weight of the misdeeds you were led to believe were virtuous.

 

The true self is easily distinguished in the desperation of the singer's tone which is that undertone of truth to it, like you connect with it, but the false self is the puppet master of his voice and the song's message is that of futility [hopefully you don't connect with that =/].

 

Whaddya think? Close?

 

 

 

 

THE OFFSPRING LYRICS

"You're Gonna Go Far, Kid"

 

Show me how to lie
You’re getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that’s hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I’m wide awake
It’s a scene about me
There’s something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can’t get what you want
Well it’s all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

And now you’ll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you

With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives

It is more specific to those three lyrics.  My mind changed them a bit and this started before I've seen the video or looked up the actual lyrics. Although I think I am starting to get it, or more so just paying it more attention as of late. I just got done singing to my genitals who changed the lyrics to

 

"Now dance, fucker, dance

 You always had a chance
And everybody knew
It was really only you

 

and it's right between the thighs

and it's right between the thighs

 

Lol that was an interesting chat.
