The Right Place Lyrics

This song is pure genius.

It's about an elephant poacher, his inner struggle with the guilt about what he does, and his fear about what he'll face in the afterlife.

The chorus is sarcasm...obviously he's far from being in the right place.

Entirely accurate. I love Jim James for writing this, for composing this...its just irony and brilliance in the form of creativity that only Jim James could give us.

It is such a cheery song musically, but the meaning and purpose behind it is anything but. To me, this is music. This is just pure art. I truly cannot get enough of Jim James, or any of the MoF members who are all so talented in their own little niches.
