Cave-O-Sapien Lyrics
Cave-o-sapien -
you were made for breaking of my back.
As I carried you past quiet houses,
kicking through the roses in the yard, I spied
the wildflower kisses on your neck — saw the garden
had been trampled past repair.
Oh, Cave-o-sapien.
You look like the sunrise!
- purple, lemon, baby-blue and gold -
but I knew it sounded bad when you said NO REGRETS
and then said nothing more.
And while you're leaning deep into the smoke
of those sticks
you keep rubbing together,
I keep thinking about how bad it’s gonna burn,
and all the people I loved, back home,
who I loved, and love,
that you turned on.
People just offering shelter from the wind.
So bow your head into the wind,
my Cave-o-sapien.
I had a vision of a gorilla,
and he was a killer,
A killer!
Alone,
in fields of stone,
you’re not the sunrise,
you’re just alone.
But I’ve got you, until you’re gone
you were made for breaking of my back.
As I carried you past quiet houses,
kicking through the roses in the yard, I spied
the wildflower kisses on your neck — saw the garden
had been trampled past repair.
- purple, lemon, baby-blue and gold -
but I knew it sounded bad when you said NO REGRETS
and then said nothing more.
And while you're leaning deep into the smoke
of those sticks
you keep rubbing together,
I keep thinking about how bad it’s gonna burn,
and all the people I loved, back home,
who I loved, and love,
that you turned on.
People just offering shelter from the wind.
So bow your head into the wind,
my Cave-o-sapien.
and he was a killer,
A killer!
in fields of stone,
you’re not the sunrise,
you’re just alone.

Personally, I think it is "And while you're leaning deep..." It makes more sense, though it is hard to tell what he is saying there.
Best song on the album
spencer is clearly singing about a homosexual encounter. no not really. i think the sunrise colours, that seems like bruise colours? his imagery is too vivid. his songs are too good, that jerk!
Well, not too many different opinions on this one. Seems to me to be a view on a self destructive person. Someone who lives without a care in the world but is eventually gonna pay the price of the lifestyle they are living. Someone who doesnt hold relationships long because their behavior is fun to be around but gets old after a while. a moocher of sorts. Ide definitely like to see some more opinions on this one.

of those two sticks
Well cave o sapien is a part of Spencer that doesnt make relationships a priority. Maybe a part of him that is like his father, or a runner. Spencer has that, and nothing else, until he lets cave-o go. Perhaps cave-o is the primitive part of man that would rather gather from a garden and trample it as oppossed to tending to one. Cave-O doesnt do commitment. I think this vision of masculinity was at a time attractive to Spencer, but he realizes that it leaves you alone. Sometimes men focus more on their purposes and devises than their relationships as well.
