It's about the Sphinx. The reference to the aliens is about the face on Mars. If you overlap the left side of the face on Mars, you get a perfectly symmetrical hominid. If you overlap the right side of the face on Mars, you get the perfectly symmetrical face of a lion. "Living somewhere between dead and dying" is a reference to the nose of the Sphinx missing. In ancient Egyptian culture, a statue loses its spirit if you cut the nose off. Also consider "the corner of my eye could give me away". The center is where you divide the face on Mars to get either a lion or a hominid. You cut down the center, and place the copy of the left side of the picture on the right side of the original. That's how you get a hominid. Do the same with the right side, and you get a lion. The Mars face is a "Replica" of the Sphinx. "Replicas" is the name of the album the song is on. That's why he thought is was important to have the lyrics on the screen when he performed it on Saturday Night Live. He gave another really cute hint all over the cover of The Pleasure Principle alum - front and back. Now, did someone plant a pipe bomb in his dad's car because he was messing up rock music with synthesizers? Or was it because he was telling secrets? |
