Some say I’m not very good at figuring out the meaning behind songs but I consider myself rather clever in this area. After all, my I.Q is only 45 away from triple figures.
From what I can tell, he is telling us a story of an event that occurred when he was 17, if you have read his autobiography you would know. At first glance, I understand, it looks like just another meaningless song but beyond the metaphors and dark imagery lays the event of one faithful day to this sad man, Trioman (The lead singer, poet and writer of this beautiful art piece)
It goes something like this…
It begins when Trioman is walking down the street and sees a man drowning in a lake with no one around to help him. Rather than help or call someone to help, he just walks on. The next day, he is full of guilt as he just left another human being to die. After a week of guilt, he sees whatever done is done and tries to forget about it. He then talks about how nice his pickle sandwich was that day for the next four minutes. He then becomes a cop and brings down the criminal syndicate of Don Don Governdon. Then the Elvis Impersonating cyborgs from the 4th dimension of Yxguepz arrive at Earth and declare themselves world leaders, turning most of humanity into lounge furniture for use by the evil aliens. It was up to Trioman to go into the alien spacecraft and destroy it from the inside. He sets off the detonator but accidentally makes the Earth implode. So it is up to him and Hulk Hogan and Mr.T to go back a week before this happened using Dr. Mepholus’ time machine. Midway through time though, the machine explodes and Hulk Hogan and Mr.T are erased from existence. Trioman is left in a lake drowning, he can see someone familiar looking in the distance but he won’t help him and he dies a horrible death.
While other musical ‘artists’ are writing immature bubblegum pop for the masses, true art like this telling us events from the artists life are ignored. This artist lets NOTHING (Not even death) get in the way of writing such a beautiful song (When has Ian Curtis written about his suicide? Never! Why? Because he’s too lazy.) Look deeper into this masterful poem and expand your mind.
