Subhuman Lyrics
I am becalmed, lost to nothing
Warm weather and a holocaust
Left to die by two good friends
Abandoned me and put to sleep
Left to die by two good friends
Tears of god flow as I bleed
So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Oyster boys are swimming for me now
Save me from the death like creature
Oyster boys are swimming now
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand
But fear is read and so do I
So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Oyster boys are swimming for me
Just one deal is what we made now
Forest keys and whirlwind cold
Green keys too and keys of gold
And even locks that don't explode
When the skies become a scroll
So ladies fish and gentlemen
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Warm weather and a holocaust
Abandoned me and put to sleep
Left to die by two good friends
Tears of god flow as I bleed
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Save me from the death like creature
Hear them chatter on the tide
We understand, we understand
But fear is read and so do I
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea
Just one deal is what we made now
Green keys too and keys of gold
And even locks that don't explode
When the skies become a scroll
Here's my angled dream
See me in my blue sky bag
And meet me by the sea

About the alien Imaginos being left to die on the shore. The Blue Oyster Cult (aliens) come to save him. See the remade/reworked song "Blue Oyster Cult" on the Imaginos album.
This song is so obviously about transhumanism in the face of ontological pedagogy displayed in the light of Jungian pantheistic transubstantiation. It's such an obvious derivative of Mahler's work on kraftig-style symphonic repercussion.
Also it's about aliens.
It's about Imaginos and it is an allusion to the Christ-alien theory. Like Christ, who is abandoned by Judas and Peter, Imaginos is abandoned by two friends. Like Christ, who is resurrected by angels/aliens who fly, Imaginos is saved by fish-like aliens who swim. Like Christ, who institutes a sacrament of bread and wine, Imaginos institutes a sacrament of the blue sky bag, with environmental references to earth, wind, water, and fire(gold).
