All Alone

The above comments only reaffirm that you can make ANY song about sex or drugs, if that's what you want to do.

For those who think that this song could be about something else, please consider these alternate lyrics that I found elsewhere. If you listen closely, I think you'll find that they're closer to accurate, and they certainly make more sense than "Its a black man expressing what he thinks in other words its a freestyle..." from above...

All Alone (16x)

Leviticus Deuteronomy...

snatch a piece of my wonderin' distant-far like yonderin' skin of my tooth like seat of my boot like fly in my soup like where's the waitress? can i take this, really, can i finish this? these years and all these creatures it's my mistake, i'll make it j-dub to the boom now make it bounce-wiggle bounce-wiggle shakin' all them bangs out chemical cutthroats bound to blow the brain out cut to the brain this ain't no game i'll show no shame i'll birth this blame i'm twisted cain i'll twist again i'll push the blade as plain as day known to what these sayers say known to what these doers do it's you and who and you-know-where we's about to take it there we's about to make it clear we happy or we lonesome the long jump, the beat heart, from start to finish ten spoons of spinach the soul and the spillage the cup that runneth ovah we turn up the o-god!

close your eyes and see when there ain't no light all you'll ever be come and save the night cause i don't leave when the morning comes, it doesn't seem to say an awful lot to me

Okay. Now that we have THAT out of the way, I'd like to say that to me this song pretty much says "No god. No religion." Let me explain:

Leviticus/Deuteronomy are biblical books of law. What you have to do. What you must never do. In fact, Deuteronomy means the second or repeated law.

The main voice seems to say:

Listen up. I'm going to give a piece of my mind (and I'm barely flying by the seat of my pants). I've got something to complain about.

Now, what he's actually saying is certainly open to interpretation.

But at the end, where he's talking about spoons of spinach and spillage, I believe that he's saying that he, or someone, is trying to justify suffering with the ol' "end justifies the means" method. The cup runneth over goes back to bibilical interp, the thought being that if you give [to God's work] and keep yourself in line, then you'll be blessed so much that you'll have more blessings than you need.

Of course, underneath all of this is the suggestive "all alone" voice. Is it all for nothing? All of this suffering?

Apparently. Close your eyes and you'll see nothing (or perhaps dreams), which is what we amount to. So keep the night from ending. Keep sleeping. Because I don't see god when I see the sunrise. We are all alone.
