Evening Wear

I\'ve read a lot about how society really works in the years since this came out and as I\'ve matured the meaning has gotten deeper.\n\nHe starts out saying this is his vindication, meaning he\'s confessing this to us as a form of justification of his actions, maybe admitting the truth frees him from blame. I\'d like to think this is from the perspective of a character and not Jimmy but who knows?\n\nA little decoration, yay we get a confession in the form of a song.\n\nWhat he is apart of might be intimidating because of..possibly the scale of what has been created with other people as he mentions at the beginning and end of the song. Underneath the radar implies it\'s not widely known about. \n\nThe character has a good life that requires him to dress up in evening wear sometimes. That sounds to me like a celebrity or politician. Dressing up in fucking lies makes me think it could be an actor or politician, maybe even musician. Even though they\'re covered in lies, they are indifferent to it. The life they "got" must have been worth covering themselves in lies.\n\nThe next line is tricky to me. He says make up won\'t help "Oblige" him to much. This line does narrow it down to being an actor I think, especially since it\'s one of the only professions where men wear makeup. I believe he\'s saying makeup on him won\'t be too convincing. \n\n"It\'s not fair to be compared to you" this could mean he doesn\'t want to be compared to other people because of what he does. Maybe the character thinks other ppl don\'t work as hard since they\'re not willing to do what he does.\n\nThe next lyrics he sarcasticly calls himself modest, then brags that he\'s talented and not afraid afraid to show it. You can clap if you want, he says it as if it doesn\'t matter what the audience does. He\'s performing for himself and to improve his life.\n\nThe next 3 lines don\'t make sense for me. I believe it was put in because it\'s catchy and it rhymes. It could also be more bravado from "Mr.Modest"\n\nI live this part. Everyone wants to join the club. If everyone wants to join it would imply this is all about celebrities, maybe Hollywood. Maybe it\'s just joining a higher social class in general. Everyone does want to be higher class.\nThe innocence is gone means you learn how things really work once you\'re apart of "the club" and this information and/or the actions that follow might not be what you expected. Something taking your innocence away doesn\'t seem to be a good thing to me, but again the life he\'s got for himself is now worth both dressing yourself in lies and sacrificing your innocence. \nEven once you\'re the bomb or on top, your innocence is gone. Doesn\'t seem like it\'s something that\'s going to come back even with celebrity and money.\n"Everyone wants a big slice of a little pie" could mean that true wealth is held in the hands of a small few and they decide what portion people get. Or it could mean that certain dreams and professions aren\'t as lucrative as one would think.\nEverybody wants in means exactly that. Seems to be about celebrities or the really wealthy.\n\nFinally "dressed down until I disappear" means he\'s spent so much time lying that he doesn\'t even have a real self anymore. There\'s nothing left after the lies are stripped away. This could also mean he lives an outwardly impressive but hollow life.\nAnd he\'s not doing it alone. Like the beginning of the song, he mentioned a "we" which solidifies it. \n\nAll in all I find Jimmy Urine to be an immense unsung talent as far as his composition and song writing goes. I love MSI and how they blend jungle and hip hop and punk into a clusterfuck of unparalleled uniqueness. The songs can be deep like this one or as shallow as not getting it up. Great stuff. C
