| Steely Dan – Dont Take Me Alive Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This has absolutely nothing to do with cyborgs. That moment in the song is the criminal knowing that he isn't a human. Its a metaphor. He knows he is capable of doing things (murdering innocents) that normal people can't. The mechanized hum is his soul speaking to him. He's about to make an important decision that could lead to his death or alienate him from real people. I think the 'bookkeepers son' bit is about how he went from a regular guy leading a fairly simple life to what he has become. | |
