Enfilade Lyrics
<i>Phone rings</i>
Woman: Hello?
Man: Hello, mother leopard, I have your cub. You must protect her . . . but that will be expensive. Ten thousand cola nuts, wrapped in brown paper. Midnight, behind the box. I'll be the Hyena . . . you'll see.
This could last us all a lifetime
Limbs intact
Untouched on the screen of a video tape
Confined to bedpost, we wait as lepers
Upheld at knife's reach
We covet all the status quo
This syringe will take a lifspan
It's filled with bait and tackle
Try and catch us if you can
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming
Unconsious, tied and gagged
Freight train coming
Meet us at the corner of 5th and Pontiac
Make sure that no one else is with you
If you wish to see them alive again
Then humor me with this request
In basements we will hide
Amnesia in our alibis
They kept a close eye
On your get well incentive

The meaning of the song is totally clear. He is obviously talking about a kidnapping and a ransom. the beginning of the song totally gives it away. if you have the cd youll know what i mean.
whoa there, are you sure, einstein? don't think TOO hard about it, now.
this song seems to be about kidnappers or kidnapping, at the beginning of the song there is a ransom phone call, and the lyrics "Make sure that no one else is with you If you wish to see them alive again" and "Sacrifice on railroad tracks Freight train coming" are dead give-aways.
Yeah but also drugs - 'This syringe will take a lifespan It's filled with bait and tackle Try and catch us if you can'.
a drug habit can hold someone captive in far more severe ways than a kidnapping....think about it. It feels like......
I always thought it said "at leisure in our alibis" which to me sounds better and makes more sense IMO "/
I did too.
I did too.
OK u guys seriously listen up, ATD-I uses imagery. So it SEEMS to be about kidnapping, most likely a person, now figure out wut they are kidnapping by arranging the words in simpler phrases. Just like i did with quarantined. ATD-I always has deeper meaning.
They said in an interview... they paist a bunch of Jim's poetry together... and create lyrics.. . just a thought.... i think this song is about, drug dealing... and the life of people assoicated..
is that Iggy Pop speaking at the start - see his name is on the cd inlay card but he doesn't sing on any songs...
he sings on the song rolodex propaganda
he sings on the song rolodex propaganda
thats him in the opening, you know the hyena
thats him in the opening, you know the hyena
iggy pop sings on rolodex propaganda, and yes that is him at the beginning.
