Puscifer – Tiny Monsters Lyrics 13 years ago
I'm not entirely sure. But my first impression of this is Theater, obviously. Namely a Shakespearean play (To be or not to be beyond the dawn....definitely Shakespeare influenced.)

Harlequins were also Shakespearean for jokers or jesters. I know Maynard spent a lot of time at an arts college, so I'm sure he has a great love for the theater (it's quite obvious really).

This just evokes the feeling of being in an audience, watching the "Tiny Monsters" (actors, they look tiny to you because you're so far back in the audience...) "hunt for harlequins" (trying to get laughs or reactions from the audience.)

Also, it's Moon Of Mischief, not Lunar Mischief.

But I figured since people are just re-posting the lyrics, i'd give my 2 cents on what I actually think this song means...to me at least. The good thing about Maynard's lyrics are that they're so mutable and open to interpretation.
