Ten silver spoons coming after me
One life with one dream on repeat
I'll escape if I try hard enough
Till King of the Jungle calls my bluff
Oh Lord, I have been told
I must take the unforsaken road
(forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as as I am told
I don't know
(don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who I want to be
Cuckoo!
You say Y-E-S to everything
Will that guarantee you a win?
Do you think you will be good enough
To love others and to be loved?
Oh Lord, now I can see
(now I can see)
The cutlery will keep on chasing me
(forsaken road)
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as as I am told
I don't know
(don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who I want to be
We are the spoons nattily mean (?)
We scoop our way into your dreams
You know the knives are bloody cold
And lead you down the unforsaken road
There's a fork in the road
I'll do as as I am told
I don't know
(don't know don't know don't know don't know)
Who I want to be
As for meaning, I have no idea. Perhaps it has something to do with the obligations of being born to wealth and privilege (silver spoons) and doing what you want with your life versus what others (ie; your parents) expect you to do (I have been told/I must take the unforsaken road/There's a fork in the road/I'll do as as I am told).
Here's what I hear:
Cuckoo!
