Octopus Lyrics

It hid and it hid in his bedroom
Psycho killer teen dream action film
Gonna show you how we get down
in my hood

Bubbling bubbling cheap champagne
Leyendecker hole wrecker feel no pain
Lying face down when I swing your way
And what?
What's my name what's my name?

Mary Anna said it's a no-go
She don't feel like, she don't think so
I don't know why I feel like crying
Well come on, come on
Say come on, come on

They ran and they ran from his classroom
Roll another 40, make them scream
Gonna show you how we do things
in my hood

Tripping and a-tripping, erase all tapes
John Wayne, Rob Roy feel no pain
This is the point where you look the other way

You done
Lost your mind

It's about a shootout (like John Wayne in his movies) in a school, like Columbine and many others, but from the perspective of the shooter, I think.

Not really sure of the meaning, but its an interesting track that i didn't like at first, but after a few listens its growing on me. The vocals sound sarcastic to me as if they are mocking something. Maybe its told from a perspective of a young person, like barely a teenager, and hes behaving self destructively (drinking, violence, afraid to show weakness) and thinks it makes him a hard ass like John Wayne but its really just causing him to lose his identity as a child. Can't wait for this album, its been so long.

Kele says it's about his "greatest fear" - the lyrics conjure up some pretty violent images in certain parts.

past couple of months always thought "Mary Anna" was "Let me at 'em"

I still belive and it still sounds to me that Kele "I don't know why I feel like crumble" not "crying"... Does it say it's crying in the cd booklet?

@abel193812 Sorry. I meant that Kele Says "I don't feel..."
