My perception is that this song is about spirituality, most likely a result of Rivers' meditation and faith. I also believe he may have mixed in a few vague ideas to dilute the message of seeking a higher sense of purpose and being, in order to not come across as too preachy. Nevertheless "i'll take you there my friend" sounds almost gospel. Another post asked wondered about the "purple majesty displaying" line. Purple is a color traditionally associated with royaly and majestic beings. That's my take on it at least. Great song. Very heart-felt. |

I've been lurking this site for a long time now...This is my first post. Although everyone is entitled to their own taste and opinion, I don't believe this is one of weezer's worst songs. I think this song is quirky and ironic in the sense that its lyrics are arrogant and threatening, yet the origin of the conflict is the dude's insecurities regarding his girlfriend. In my mind, this song paints a small creepy sports bar somewhere in the midwest. More importantly, for some reason I associate the whole situation with a little dog that barks a lot because it feels threatened but it really is not going to hurt anyone, it just wants peace. ("cut me some slack off") I love the "time for a swift kick" part, it reminds me Napoleon Dynamite's brother and his swift kick. Lyrics aside, this song has an undeniable hook that'll keep humming, like it or not. In that sense, I'm lucky I like it! |
