Cyclops

Cyclops" is a song that reflects upon modern society's obsession with power, conformity, and tribalism. The song opens with the mention of Mr Mangle, who was caught in a vine and followed the leader but flipped out. The lyrics suggest that Mr Mangle had a good angle sleeping with Angel, but soon Angel fell into failure and burnt out. The chorus emphasizes the need to pound it out, nail it down, and put it in the ground, alluding to a desire for dominance and control. The song uses the word "tribal" to describe this need for power, suggesting that it is a primitive, instinctual urge. In the second verse, the lyrics explore the concept of tribal treason and how modern society speaks of freedom while feeding on others' lust and butt, perhaps indicating a form of exploitation. The chorus repeats the same message, highlighting the desire to pound, nail, and melt down, alluding to the destruction of the self and others for the sake of power. In the third verse, the lyrics make a reference to an octopus, which is known to suck up to danger, possibly alluding to society's infatuation with risk-taking and thrill-seeking. The final chorus repeats the same message as the previous ones, emphasizing the need to pound, nail, and put things in the ground. Overall, the song "Cyclops" is a thought-provoking commentary on modern society's obsession with power and control, often resulting in destruction and exploitation.
