I think he's talking about how ridiculous people are really and how small minded too. Kind of agree it's about a break up, but I think cos he's upset about the break-up he's just looking at all the bad parts of the world. And how stupid people are. Particularly the bit where he says "we were laughing at the stars..." think he means, people take themselves too seriously and are really arrogant about stuff, but we are incapable of understanding stuff like the universe, like we're too obsessed with ourselves and how brilliant humans are to think about the universe. He thinks it's stupid that people give their kids names of places because it makes them sound clever or deep or that, when really it means nothing to them cos they've never been to the place. Basically people fuck about too much, and think they are smart when they're stupid and pretentous. The person he's had a break-up with he thinks of now as one of the people who thinks they're smart and they are fucking him about too i think. |

i think he's being philosophical lol and he's suggesting that people don't think enough. its some guy encouraging people to think about stuff more deeply. "bet you didnt think so i command u to" and he's showing its pretty easy to think about cos he's making it "manageable" and "child like in nature". think he means betrand russel possibly. he talks about not trusting your senses he says cos "intangible" means you can't percieve it with you senses, and he also says you see with your mind not your eye which is kind of the same idea, it's your mind that you see with and not your eye. fallacys are flaws in thinking, which is another reference to philosophy, he's communicating with his music he says he doesn't have rythym he's IN rythym, as is bertrand russel but a different rythym because he writes books and this guy gives out his message with his rapping. who uses his brain not muscles to make a difference to the world. hes saying the world is shit because we don't think enough basically, thats why he has to spell it out. he wants to be a spiritual hero i think telling people how to think when they lose sight of what's important in the world. if its to do with drugs i don't think he's promoting them. |
