Peacebone Lyrics
Or maybe....
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insight.
For the sake of argument, I'll say this is a story of the ancient Greek inventor Daedalus. He built the labyrinth at Knossos for the Minotaur (made the monster a maze). Also, to escape from a tower, he created wings for himself and his son Icarus (kid flying). The bubbles that bring the fish to the surface could be either the body of Icarus, or the body of the king of Athens (Ageus I believe, don't quote me) when he jumped off a cliff upon Theseus's return from slaying the Minotaur. He is the epitome of the ancient Greek artist and inventor. He killed his nephew when he surpassed him in inventing (can't make a baby cry?) Tenuous food for thought

I have no idea how you found that sample...Impressed, and great find!

Examining and looking we find answers but there is always more. Progression is always relative to before. Everything around me is in process of change. I was young yesterday and tomorrow I grow old. I see matter moving through space but what makes it go? Am I my skin or my bones? When I deny my insides what does it mean to feel? Will I have courage to find understanding, to face my fears? Tomorrow’s losses show light on today’s gains. And all this time that peace bone was in the dinosaur’s wing
I've been jumping all over but my views are slowly shrinking You progress in letters, but you're used to cooking broccoli Then we did believe in magic and we did die It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides You're just an inside
these are the relevant lines...he relates himself to a peacebone, how he has traveled everywhere, but like water in a hose he ends in a yard, to be found, when things were the way they were...all the superfluity in the world shouldnt keep one from pursuing his/her dream hence the very important line: "Oh well she bore all her parts but she never was found You think "I'll carve a path through New York and be an artist", but are you anything?"
trying to make sense of thesse lyrics is like trying to ask a baby to cry...good song!
Peacebone is a marvelous song. Our perceptions and our frame of reference is completely changed.
first off, i believe the song is a message about our society's dependence on fossil fuels. think about it... the song isnt so full of nonsence after i got this idea in my head. i also think the correct lyric is "gadfly" not kid fight or whatever.
the part where he is chanting/ yelling he says 'YOUR JUST A' over and over. Then says boneface. which he says throughout the song. In the video he looks into a hole/grave and says boneface... which is also a common theme throughout the song..
your just an inside.. adjust your insides. He is saying stop pretending to be someone your not.. adjust your insides is plural.
There are only a few parts i get about this song and many i have no idea. I think it will be rather obscure to think any 3 people will come up with the same conclusion what this song means to them. Maybe that is what makes it so unique.
I think this song is - looking at the chorus - about letting go of the past and to follow your heart. "an obsession with the past is like a dead fly" and "And just a few things are related to the 'old times'" And not letting anyone tell you how to live. "It's not my words that you should follow, it's your inside"
While i think we can all agree that collectively these lyrics make no sense. But some of the lyrics make sense when standing alone, e.g:
"the monster was happy when we made him a maze. cause he don't understand intentions he just looks at your face" One my favorite lines in the song, i believe it's saying how a lot of people these days are just looking for something bad to do.
I like that but I feel it's more about having a purpose. "'Cause he don't understand intentions he just looks at your face" I think that part is about being focused on said purpose so intensely that you don't really notice other people. I think of the story of the labyrinth and the minotaur. That's what I think anyways.

I love that line too. I suspect the monster is the Minotaur, and the maze is the Labyrinth. So we have here an image of a clueless Minotaur being offered a new home in the Labyrinth by Minos and he's thinking this is the greatest thing ever because Minos has a (clearly false) smile on his face. Minos doesn't give a fuck about the Minotaur of course, he's just glad to be rid of the problem, but the Minotaur isn't very perceptive and doesn't realize this.

To me, the song is largely collection of beautifully absurd images. Taking a single moment and describing the most important features in one or two lines.
