| System of a Down – Vicinity of Obscenity Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Well obviously, to start, if you take the word "liar" and spell it backwards, you get the word "rail". This is clearly sexual connotation. The fact that it is followed with an exclamation mark symbolizes the sheer orgasmic power of this particular "rail"ing. As for the next lines: terracotta pie is clearly a symbol for Iraq, and the banana is a symbol for the United States. By using phallic imagery, the author of this clever metaphor is symbolizing the united states' "railing" of Iraq... "terracotta" is a common building material, commonly used in the Middle East. By calling it a terracotta "pie", the author is describing Iraq as being destroyed... splattered.... railed. "Is there a perfect way of holding you baby" is symbolic of the US's occupation of Iraq, which exists within the "vicinity of obscenity". The next phrase "do we all learn defeat from the whores with bad feat" is obviously a metaphor for Osama Bin' Laden... Osama Bin Laden is notorious for having bad feat, and he is also quite clearly a whore. The United States must defeat the whore with bad feet i.e. Osama Bin Laden in its quest to rid itself of evil "ism's", in this case, terrorism. The next phrase that must be analyzed is "Beat the meat (Beat the meat), Treat the feet, To the sweet, Milky seat." The meat in this case is the United States, and we must metaphorically "beat the meat", or use our military in order to cure the "bad feet" of the evil terrorists, by metaphorically ejaculating on them or "treating the feet to the sweet Milky seat". The song ends by repeating banana banana terracotta banana terracotta terracotta pie over and over again to symbolize how America will be in Iraq forever "curing feet". | |
