Fucking with the Altimeter Lyrics
Give me some love.
God save us all.
No more flowers for you.
So when you see an empty face you'll know it's supposed to be a clue.
Not just a mishap some kind of creep forgot.
Now, tell me, how does paralysis feel?
Like you're trapped in a light beam part of the atom stream that oozes down through the glass.
Enough for me, you can't penetrate my physical field .
Zip with silver airplanes quivering down.
Under the fuselage.
Elementary aeronautics ground.
Look at me now i'm a wreck.
How 'bout a kiss?
My oxygen's lost in those lungs again.
Somebody give me my oxygen.
I need to breath.
Before I forget.
i'm going into oxygen debt.
I think your flesh is separated from the sins it commits and that explains why you smile when you balance on your stack of regrets.
Nobody's with you this time.
How does it feel?
One flight down the aeronaut was found.
Under the fuselage.
Friends leave before we feed the carnivore.
Look at me now i'm a wreck.
Such a pretty bird

The Altimer is a reference to an Alzheimer's patient. Sounds like this old person, on life support did something to the narrator, specifically molesting him. Now the singer is taunting the 'altimer' about his state of paralysis and how he's dying alone.
@ GOP, the taunting idea fits in perfect, but it's altimeter [a device for displaying altitude in a plane wooo oxford minidictionary] not altimer, right?
I dunno. It seems like a cut up and like word play. 2 separate scenes displayed in one song counterpointing each other in a very cryptic way. A crashing pilot. A paralyzed man being taunted by a family member he betrayed.

Could be connected or it could just be all gibberish.

Altimer is a slang term for an old timer, or an Alzheimer patient. So, with the Altimeter spelling, try to make sense of the song.

What's weird is, you can. Certain aspects of the song are about taunting an Alzheimer patient that wronged you earlier in life, the other half of the song is clearly about a plane crash.

Put them together, and you have a novel. Or in this case, song 3 on Bonsai Superstar.
