Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants Lyrics
C'mon we're young, we're young
Yet we'll be dead as soon
c'mon we came, we came
from our mother's womb to swoon
Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants
Adopting this young spirit of sin
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
Before, old friend, life's just a means to an end
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
Swig the bottle, bottle
slap the face of Aristotle
race me, race me, race me, race me
in yer fourth and jalopy
Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants
Adopting this young spirit of sin
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
Before, old friend, life's just a means to an end
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
my mother, she said 'you don't delve in taboo'
but mother my moribund will come
when I'm through with taboo
Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants
Adopting this young spirit of sin
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
Before, old friend, life's just a means to an end
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
That sink and pull in the guts
That's this foolhardy flux
Yet we'll be dead as soon
c'mon we came, we came
from our mother's womb to swoon
Adopting this young spirit of sin
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
Before, old friend, life's just a means to an end
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
slap the face of Aristotle
race me, race me, race me, race me
in yer fourth and jalopy
Adopting this young spirit of sin
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
Before, old friend, life's just a means to an end
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
but mother my moribund will come
when I'm through with taboo
Adopting this young spirit of sin
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
Before, old friend, life's just a means to an end
To make the most, before we turn to ghost
That's this foolhardy flux

I have no idea what the lyrics mean but this song is great, particularly Hayden's vocal performance!
It seems to me that the overall message can almost be inferred from the title. It is about being young, or embracing the essence of youth. Desire, passion, gratification, impulsiveness, fearlessness, et cetera are hallmarks of youth and the qualities of life cherished in the verses of this song. When I see the title, "Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyant", I tend to think of it as a metaphor for the young (we boys especially). Confident, risk-taking, ostentatious, sexual, wanton, invincible, cocksure, know-it-alls. That sounds about right, doesn't it?
I love this song so much! But don'tcha think the background music sounds exactly like the background music to 'over and over' by hot chip? hmmmm
