| Cake – Mr. Mastodon Farm Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Pandorus, I think you're on the right track, but to elaborate on what you offered, I think that "Mr. Mastadon Farm is a metaphor for prehistoric man's thinking... The way men who really can't comprehend a concept tend to erroneously compartmentalize ideas and file them away in "swatches" that make sense to them... to allow them to cope with their environment and their world in general. In other words, the song is describing how the less intelligent among us need to label every swatch in order for them to deal with their own primal existence. | |
