| Tally Hall – Banana Man Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I might be going out on a limb here, but I think it's about someone who is addicted to prescription pills. The office setting of the video helps with that. The lines; "you too uptight, you know you could laugh and kick it back and go" sound like they might be from a doctor, or even a friend, who is prescribing said medication. Later, the lines; "but without a rhythm or a rhyme you do not banana all de time" make it sound as if you need a prescription for whatever it is, because you can't get it without a "rhythm or a rhyme". The lines; "forget all your troubles and go with the flow forget about whatever you may never know like whether whatever you are doing is whatever you should and whether anything you do is every really any good" lead me to believe that it is definitely some sort of anxiety medication, and "the yellow from the beckoning man" is the feeling of the addiction itself. The part about making "a mock of your plan" is the speaker admitting to themself that they have a problem, as well as "make up your mind and tell me no". I think that the song resolves with the person getting over their addiction, because it ends with more optimistic lines about having "no banana". Prescription or not, you can't deny that this song is about drugs. |
