Catacomb Kids Lyrics

Cover art for Catacomb Kids lyrics by Aesop Rock

Reign of the razor laser, Day of the cloudy howdy, Flight of the shelter melter, You can bow without me.

Anybody have an idea what these lines mean? if im right saying the songs about high school and when he was younger i thought maybe "reign of the razor laser" is about the principal basically or the man in charge of his school and "you can bow without me" aesop is basically saying that the rest of students can go ahead and attend school without him.

anybody have any ideas?

"Cloudy howdy" and "shelter melter" sound like nuclear bombs, and I suppose the bowing refers to the bomb drills where the students knelt under their desks. I guess he's saying he was too disaffected to feel a connection to any such big political things at the time.
