Perhaps it's wrong to color a person's perception about lyrics like this and it robs them of the experience of understanding what it's about. On the other hand, judging from the number of posts for DIMD and the nature of the subject matter, someone might as well do it.
I think the meaning behind unDeveloped lies between the external ideas and the individual thinking them.
Animist, as in a person who believes that all physical objects have souls. Common among "primitive" people. Again, "primitive" people. Civilized, developed people would never believe such a silly thing.
Any mist? Any missed? Well, something got missed.
It goes to the title of all this... the idea that despite all our technology, vast populations all supposedly contributing something unique, our complicated societal system... humanity is still very much unDeveloped.
Some sort of internal resistance to the "pistons" as in the smaller aspects, more basic ground forces that contribute to the "engines" which create the lie we're living in. Perhaps we're talking about the people who contribute to the engines of this lie, or we're talking about the broken ideas and thought processes that contribute to the lie.
And it's not just that humanity is unDeveloped as in a form of stasis, but actually we're unDeveloping, as in rapidly moving backwards. Retrogressing. And since that motor is said to be through the eyes, we're talking about the mind I think.
Continual references to eyes throughout unDeveloped. As in all that you see, is not all that you see. Again the eyes betray you. And the world that you're seeing, the surface reality is a lie.
Shadowed distance? As in a dark future? And it overflows the environment, or media outlets. Does sort of make sense that the information one's bombarded with on the news would overflow, so much negativity right. It may eat away at you during this "extra time?" Perhaps have a corrosive effect on you, into the earliest of crime. Become numb to all the bad news but effects you subconsciously?
Once again, we're backtracking, despite all the technology and such we're actually moving backwards perhaps into a more animalistic state, despite what it may look like on the surface.
The endless stream of negative information cancels resistance by numbing you to the desire to change maybe. Because the task seems to great, requires too much energy, kills any spirit you'd have toward change. So the apathy and indifference become allied as the individual sees our problems as being too great and are in effect psychologically herded to a particular behavior, if you will.
"Extra muscle tatters chewing angels matted matters override." This part comes across as quite vague to me. But here goes.
Extra muscle being our brain? The added abilities of our brain compared to other animals. But it tatters because it's not being used, that critical thinking aspect of the brain, the ability to deconstruct and contemplate with the mind is deadened. So we go from being humans (with the ability to think in this way) back to something like cattle who can't.
Chewing angels? Grazing on religion the way cows eat grass, in order to distract yourself from the truth. Could be likely considering the title is essentially a religion.
But it's all for naught. Because the tangled mess of life's situations overrides the benefit you'd achieve through religion?
"Tables for the mating rapes the filling meats for different hate." Hm.
Maybe the table mentioned is like a religious family sitting down to eat. Reminds me of saying grace. So are they "raping" their kid's minds and filling their minds with misplaced something? And by raping the kid's minds I mean feeding them the vast falseness that religion has to offer or even the vast falseness that information in general has to offer. Also praying to God before eating an animal that went through some awful procedure to get to their plate.
Not sure what the "different hate" is though. Perhaps some bizarre subconscious redirection of feelings about how horrible some aspects of this existence are.
Like hate the devil instead of hating the actual reality based forces that cause problems in our world? Hate homosexuals, and on and on. Perhaps something to this effect.
"The simple trial and error mode to execute your inner troll." As in you bend and twist aspects of the religion in order to fit daily occurrences and issues in your life. And though I may be going too hard on the religion thing, it seems to fit quite well and makes sense with the title.
You could also see it as being just the variety of methods people use to divert their attention from darkness of our world. Even ideas not related to religion.
"Make it up to miss the point." That's conscious, subconscious intention to avoid confronting reality as it is by burrowing your mind in something that's made up (religion) in order to purposefully miss the point. But that goes for any weird thought scaffolding that diverts oneself from the truth.
What's the role of choice in all this? People just become religious because they're exposed to it from a young age? But then what about the people who grow up in religious households who don't become religious or become vehemently opposed to organized religion.
Not sure that's what's meant. Could be like asking sadly... Is this the role of choice? As in, why would someone knowingly choose to live an existence that so violently denies the truth. And to what extent are larger societal forces forcing the hand of choice by the world that's been created, etc etc.
So these religious people are always praying for change in their lives, always being obedient to the lord (or saying they are) and base all their life around God and being faithful. And yet the actions that would really create change, the actions that would intelligently address problems and deal with them are totally absent. There's a disconnect with the real world and sort of cause and effect relationships. The extra muscle tatters.
And Godot is apparently a very famous and renowned play about two guys who are waiting endlessly for someone named Godot to show up and he never does but they wait forever. I know nothing of the play but it seems like Godot doesn't exist at all most likely.
So you have these religious people who are waiting, forgotten by society maybe, or they've forgotten how to operate their brains personally. And their concept of reality is based on a book told by Godot, as in a book about someone who doesn't exist. These people are like the two characters in the play who wait endlessly for someone that doesn't exist. Just like religious people are waiting endlessly for a God that doesn't exist.
But after reading the Wikipedia entry it's interesting to see that many people thought that Godot represented God but the guy who wrote it said that it wasn't his conscious intention to create that connection. But then is says how he always emphasized the unconscious in his writing and so he might have subconsciously included a reference to God in the play.
