I don\'t know if I qualify as a cool person, but here goes. \n\nFirst thing to understand is these guys are German, and English isn\'t their first language. I\'m convinced that most Krautrock lyrics are more about setting a mood than sending a message, so looking for a specific meaning sometimes comes up dry. \n\nThe first verse seems to be various perspectives on God - the everywhere eye and the emperor of the sky could both describe some people\'s God concept, but one is specifically asking your opinion about the other. So you should take the transportation from one of His top aides. I guess? Maybe there is some specific theological point they\'re making, but I can\'t suss it out. \n\nThe Edgar Allen business is obviously Poe, and the mood is spooky, and otherwise I\'m not sure what that\'s about. \n\nCape Cod lion is more Deity business, and the elevator to Eden is a Heaven reference, but are they saying something specific? Maybe?\n\nThe next verse makes me think of a nursing home or asylum. \n\nThe final verse seems to express frustration that no one understands the important message they are conveying- whether or not they have one. |
