greetings, dadslildefect, fret no more, meaningmasta is here. ;-)
first off, i want to say this is a very cool song, i love the energy, beat, the repeating guitar riff...
My take on the meaning, is that words are often meaningless, especially in modern life. and that the actual words spoken often convey nothing true or real, they are often lies, or just pointless chit-chat.
"De Do Do Do" etc sounds like baby talk, and i think that what hes comparing most everyday conversation to.
"Dont think me unkind, Words are hard to find etc." in this verse, i think hes coming from the view of a deeper quiet person. He cant just babble meaninglessly all the time like everyone else. And because hes quiet, hes often seen as "unkind" or rude, stuckup etc.
"And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me"
i dont know exactly what hes getting at, but it may be that often people listen to a speaker emotionally, they are not being logical. in other words its more how you say it(eloquence) than what you actually say.
It also may have to do with deeper thinkers(logic) not always being good at comminicating. While glib,shallow people are often great at schmoozing.
"They're meaningless and all that's true"
Goes back to my earlier points. Most everyday words/conversation that people say are meaningless, and thats the only true thing about the words spoken.(often being lies)
