Canon- Sorry to disagree, but I believe it DIRECTLY relates to Labor Days. Labor is concidered to be about American working society and "Wage Slaves", correct? So in what sense does this track not fit? There are those who spend their entire life being told what to do, how to do it and when to do it. This is a clear example of someone who lived her life the exact way she inteded and went against the grain of the normal lifestyle led by her neighbors. Ex. "Now every month or so, she'd get a knock upon the front door Just one of the neighbors, Actin nice, although she was a strange girl, really Say, "Lucy, wanna join me for some lunch??" Lucy would smile and say "I'm busy, thank you much" And they would make a weird face the second the door shut And run and tell their friends how truly crazy Lucy was And lucy knew what people thought but didn't care Cuz while they spread their rumors through the street She'd paint another masterpiece." So you see, since the entire album theme of Labor Days is the Wage Slaves and American Working Class, it makes perfect sense for it to be on this album. Woman is the odd ball because of her chosen profession/life long passion. And shes happy about her choices. To 3rdEyeVision: Perhaps she found it important to tell someone this because 1: She led an overall happy life. 2: She would like to share that piece of mind with someone else. Not to Jusify herself or convince herself that she is actually happy. More so to just be like "Hey, this could be a valuble lession to you." Shes TELLING the nurse this: "Look, I've never had a dream in my life Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done So i've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!" I see it as advice to the Nurse. |

It’s all about where you get your stimulation from. Some people get it reading. I always thought movies, you know, moving imagery and visual stuff was really interesting and it made me want to write for some reason. And yeah, the technology is out of control, on so many levels, from what Sony is able to do with a radio to what the U.S. is able to do with missiles. "Cultures don’t begin because people sit around and say, 'let's start a culture.'"To a degree, I spit back at it and to a degree I’m a product of it. I have this big love-hate relationship with it all. It kind of gets this whole bad rap, the world of movies and television, that it’s not as sincere as a painting or a song or a book. But in my opinion it’s just as relevant and it was majorly relevant to my growing up. I don’t want to say I was raised by television but to a degree I was. I was around for the dawn of video games and have seen everything progress from there"-Aesop Rock So its quite possibly speaking of that love/hate relationship he has with modern technology Source: http://www.guernicamag.com/interviews/397/graffiti_or_vermeer/ |

| I also believe that Aesop calling himself a Jigsaw was reference to the Saw movie as well. Since he mentions "All the pig saw was dirt bag"... In the movie, the jigsaw killer sees people as the most terrible people alive- he tests them to give them a different/better prospective on life. This would make more sense if that were the case in this particular song. Correct me if im wrong. | |
