Fast Cars

"Never mind the bollocks. Like every other week these hipster tabloids jumping on and off my sex pistol's bullets." Like every other week he spins the bottle. Like every other week these fucking fanzines forget if they spit or swallow. "

Sounds like a response to critics. He seems to be expressing contempt for being judged and evaluated by publications he considers trash, whether the evaluation is positive or negative.. Almost as though he resents the limited fame he's had to this point.

"Too bad your inner sheep never forgets to follow, cuz my inner greed to feed your hate for loving us is hostile."

Here he reveals a since of a greedy/hostile motive to continue fueling the sorts of critics that love to bash his fanbase.

"Fortunate for me it coincides with what comes natural, so the mongrels that I run with turn the 'fuck you's into fast food. "

Turns the critiques/critics into a cheap and easy meal? Maybe this is a 'get that dirt off you sholder' sentiment.

"Like a little freak sick of the 3 o'clock bully knuckle dust, nursing his last shiner, finds the shoebox in his mother's truck. Tomorrow's extra curricular punching bag will finger daddy's widow maker out a brown lunch bag."

Obviously, the shoebox contains a gun aka 'widow maker.' And we're now on the subject of bullied kids shooting up their schools.

"This is where the hunch back snake oil peddlers stuck under the burgundy sky of spaghetti westerns tend to bubble up. Weathermen huddle up. Today the son of one too many 'yes sir's kings his checkers, watch the double jump."

LOL, blame the movies/media! It's the spaghetti westerns, not the Marilyn Manson!! haha that line is a clever stab at the media fear mongerers. That checkers analogy for the shooter is pure genius.. Especially that click click sound yeu hear for the double jump.

"Back with a platter of hot leeches that'll drink up-every bloody drop down to the last diseases, "

And now he takes a stab at the news media, and how they handle these stories, and feed off the bloodshed - over-reporting these stories to boost ratings, neglecting to aknowledge that a lot of the culprits seem to have done it for the notoriety.. Obviously Cho (virginia tech shooter) was looking for notoriety; he sent a frickin package to NBC!

"it's A-E-S-O-P-R-O-C-K, the peak twister. Defender of the son of Vaughn Bode's Cheech Wizard."

haha, what a dork! Ya'll know Cheech Wizard right? An underground comic of a Wizard that looks like a mushroom, it's weird shit.

"I used to pray the treatments got easier with my aging like serotonin weekends were merely comedic hazing. Wrong, "

'serotonin weekends' seems to be referencing parties with an abundance of drugs.. 'were merely comedic hazing, wrong' could mean.... like looking back with 20/20 hindsight that such a way to spend your weekends was not the best way to experience life and earn your way into the fraternity of life, or whatever...

"but along his travels located the key to world peace: kill every motherfucker but me."

I absolutely love this line! It shows the hypocracy behind starting wars for freedom/peace, which ties us back into the first verse of the song that's primarily about soldiers. But there's also an obvious analogy too to the school shooter as well. Perhaps hinting at the wider theme of the song that puts tho two verses together. Violence of human nature?

"You cool with that? Cool. Bang. You? Cool. Hang. You? No? Uh... bang? Cool. Sorry, dog, rules is rules. And too long have I followed yours."

LOL! Executing the key to world peace here! Love it! The first two people I guess wanted to die anyway, the next one, well haha sorry!

"I'm trying to get them years back, and walk through every cipher with dynamite in a beer hat."

And as though the song just wasn't amazingly cool already this last line is just straight dope. 'walk through every cipher' I think means he's commenting about the style of his raps, infact using a metaphor of 'dynamite in a beer hat' to describe his raps... Hiding something serious/explosive in the party's paraphernalia!

tacobandit, wicked interpretation. you've got the elements of this song pretty spot on. and fuck you retards who say aesop talks a bunch of bullshit. so it takes a bit of a brain to understand this shit, and yes you have to be a little analytical, but that's what's so great about it. quit using that as an excuse for your stupidity and inability to understand what he's talking about. this stuff is QUALITY and it's intense. it makes me shiver goddamnit!

Dang wats rong with u People Aseop aint that well known, if he was there wud b a thousand comments, great song, i Love the Beat!! Yuo lost me in that part about scrubbing piss witha toothbrush! ha thats great

Anyone have a real grasp on this song? Id really love to know the actual meaning.

No, it takes an artist to write lyrics that, when you just read them, they become the beat and music. The accents and syllables are just mindblowing.

Most of his songs are about individuality or at least touch on the subject of nonconformity. Check these lines: "Too bad your inner sheep never forgets to follow, cuz my inner greed to feed your hate for loving us is hostile."

So either the guy who did the lyrics got it wrong or there are a few versions floating around, but the beginning of my version goes like so...

Who's that walking with a hole in his head? Big bad Bazooka Tooth, I came to break bread What's a troop's recipe for treacherous times? I tell 'em... ahhh fuck it - yo

Also, what does the voice at the very beginning say?

Check mate sucka...

This song is the shit. Not his best rhymes but one of his cruise friendly tracks, it gets spun a lot in my car...

Ill tell ya right now, I dont think that ANYONE has any idea about what this is about, i mean aesop rock is cool and all, but his lyrics have no flow, and his songs do not make sense. anyone can say a line of words that rhyme well, but it takes a real artist to make a line of words that makes you think while rhyming.
