Big Bang Lyrics

[Aesop Rock]
Well, so we meet again
(He said he's grown spiritually since the last one)

Ok, this is the dawning of the book of bitter aspects
Where the jackals sit and watch the pedigods last flesh
Poison functions accompanied by six armorclad
Black horse and buggy mechanism
Tugged a portion of my severed vision
The gathering of loose ends in a bucket
Wit a shoestring budget
Every man's got a field to plow (I know that now)
But it's like, man I really can't afford the oxen
Fee fie et cetera
I smell the warm blood of the bill collector knockin
I get awkwardly sturdy with a frigid liquid backbone
I get swept in the pressure cooker tryin to paddle back home
I get sprung with a vibe and alliance of clean intention
By eclipsing doom midigons hatched to bash these picket fences
Now I'll attend the wedding of the open sword festering
Now when the groom presents the ring
The bride commence to blistering
This textbook magnificently crude
Prototype king beserker modulate
Serve the vertical thirst, burst horizontal
Treasure, loose cannons span the starbit power
The clippership dipped in truth famine pressure
Cabin fever meter pegging ludicrous
Beautiful cartoon trooper
swallow brutal futility with a teaspoon full of sugar
I rock ready aim fire, while y'all rock ready fire aim
Then blame the stationary target when the prey escapes the frame
Merit badge marksman, a poacher, it's all the same
So I lay across the woods perpendicular to the grain

[Chorus] *rapped in doubletime*
I wanna be a Big Bang, gotta be
Never bottle me up in a probably, I wanna hear a "Yes, Sir, SIR!"
YES SIR!
Armed with a tome, cross, sore to the bone
Warn the other brothers, I was born forlorn
Big Bang
Shoveling a Big Dig
Huddled in a tunnel of big dreams, I think big things
I'ma burn with this little light of mine
and a prime concern to earn thanks, I'ma be a Big Bang!
{Repeat}

[Aesop Rock]
I'm just a survivor of the wooly mammoth population
Bottle neck effect, sorta born deaf
Alien of shallow alchemy
If you gon' metamorph the basemetal to precious
Might as well steal from the rich, bewitch the pesants
I'm floating the hoaming pigeon out hell's kitchen window
Left an SOS infested bottle nestled in his grip so
With a prayer circle release party and hardy wild bellow
I observed him fly ten feet then dropped the bottles to the devils
Fertile circle turn pertal crescent via bad investment
Despised every second, but I GUESS I LEARNED MY LESSON!
If I made an angel in the snow for every rotted victim
There'd be wings to float this mothership up out the goblin system
Sticky panoramic contaminate planet
In conjunction with phantom assumption
Gutterbug alumnus candidates
Well, I promise you I man the lighthouse
Just to help guide in your ship
If you promise to help pull this hook out my lip (bitch)
Godspeed, straitjacket and ragged approach
To circle suns via folklore pollutants to rhyme strictly
From a BC generation disgust
Community movement alluding to a
"No blood given, no recognition"
Life matter, I was us up all night with a rusty hammer
Trying to build a fence around these magic beans my dreams are gathered
But uh, that certain lack of avail
I sail a choppy lie with bouancy like a bucket of rocks (a bucket of rocks)

Chorus 2x

[Aesop Rock]
Big bang, bi-big bang
It's gettin bigger by the second
Check it

Ok, I'm here to rock the tugboat and bare the others farewell
I shook the buddy system wisdom till the similairs repel
I sell a barrel of spirit to dummy dimwits syndicate jackals
I'm broken arrow to the fuckin bone (broken poem)
I don't really believe in God
But God, I'm scared to death of God?!?
I swear to God, I never meant to spill the beans
Nor tear the pod
It's like I hike an acre unimpressed
And slept on the sabre's edge
Enough times to splice anti-Christ's favorite pledge
I wanna know myself
Sorta solo sheep amidst wolves
And still my shepherd can't administer the proper push and pulls
I push the ghouls to man overboard
Pull the bulls onto my sword
And buckle down in a corner chair with a round table floor
Got an angel on my left shoulder, a devil on the polar
Got a mug of frigid, got a mug of solar, sliiidde over
The recipe's design unplug the appetite continuity
By stitching together esteemed congruents (beautifully)
I peel back carts and lodge Greek physics in the chambers
Cauterized the wound and heads like "Gimme gimme something major"
Road side prophetic, ascend well
enveloped in a mummy ribbon system
Blistering in a wishing well
BIG BANG!

I noticed a few mistakes in the lyrics. He does not say pedigod, he says pedigoge (it means teacher). Starbit power is Starboard bow (the front of the right side of a ship). Also he says open sore, not open sword. I always thought he said fee, fief, ect. as in rent and a piece of land, but he is saying fee, fi, as in "fee, fi, fo, fum. I smell the blood of an Englishman!" a reference to Jack and the Beanstalk, which is a metaphor for wealthy land owners (the giant) eating up the impoverished common man/hoarding all the wealth of a country,ect. That explains the following line "I smell the blood of the bill collector knocking." This is the main point of the song in general. "this is the dawning of the book of bitter aspects" the realization that the future looks very bleak. "jackals sit and watch the pedagogues clash fresh." Possibly commentary on how our culture is focused on creating new ways to screw people over instead of something beneficial, or maybe that while intellectuals bicker amongst themselves the "jackals" (Preachers, con-men, politicians) take advantage of the common man. "i get awkwardly sturdy with a frigid liquid backbone." Life sucks getting drunk makes it all bearable. Basically the song is about life being hard, and that there are a lot of people out there that want to fuck you over.

The chorus of this song sounds so fucking good. Aes is amazing.

Cover art for Big Bang lyrics by Aesop Rock

The chorus is

I wanna be a big bang, gotta be never bottle me up in a probably, I wanna see a "yes, sir" sir YES SIR Armed with a tone cross sword to the bone warn the other brothers I was born forlorn Big bang: shovel in a big dig huddled in a tunnel of big dreams I think big things I'm a burm...can't figure out the rest. Sorry.

Cover art for Big Bang lyrics by Aesop Rock

I'm a burm with a spindle and a mind for the prime concern to earn thanks, I'ma be a big bang BIG BANG

Cover art for Big Bang lyrics by Aesop Rock

This song is fuckin awesom

But would anyone care to explain what the hell the lyrics mean??

I'm fuckin lost

Cover art for Big Bang lyrics by Aesop Rock

"doom litigants hatched to bash these picket fences." A litigant is anyone involved in a lawsuit. Again a metaphor for layers/business crushing the American dream. A house with little whit picket fence.

i don't believe Aesop's lyrics can be deciphered by many except people who think like him...

I disagree. We may not translate it exactly the way he means it, he has the best idea what it's about. We read it the way we see it, which I believe to be part of the point. We put our own emotional baggage and experiences into what he already has laid out. Like all art, his lyrics are open to translation and have a slightly different meaning for each person that gets pulled into it. There is no right or wrong way to look at it, merely a different way.

Not Valid

i think this song is about how we're letting war and greed destroy our world and becoming our own apocalypse

but thats just my take on it

Cover art for Big Bang lyrics by Aesop Rock
