escapin' the situation, I'm outta the trap zone
the ringer turned off on my cellular phone
the inter-mystery detector
holder of the silver money folder
black of the coat must come in by midnight
you've got to get away
because we're here to stay..
my getaway is the boat
pier 39 by the West Side Highway
my skill is on-point
a more easier route
police on my trail
I gotta slide away, move like express mail
you've got to get away
because we're here to stay..
my imagination surprise you
like the New York City subway third rail
one half is missing, three-third fail
can't be tracked down by the phone
definitely not by email
we get off on them
the back alley's dim
they look familiar in a high school way
we gotta get away
they get off on us too
sirens screamin' red and blue
lonely street lights that don't love my name
the blue's burnin'
we get off on them
the lesser.. a lesser lesser..
This song is about a guy who has somehow obtained secrets or knowledge of some occult organization, and is trying to free himself from their plan. The exact plan he's referring to is not very clear, but it seems related to modern-day "big brother" type surveillance and control (i.e cell phone taps, security cameras on the subway trains, data-mining on the internet, etc.). There are actually two different voices in the song if you listen closely. There's the main guy who's running away, but there's also the collective voice of the illuminati (telling him he better get away because they're here to stay in power and control everyone). But the runner is successful in his escape because he recognizes the illuminati's methods of control. He doesn't take the subway, and he doesn't communicate by phone or email... he uses a boat instead.
There are a couple of key occult references in the song. First, there are the numbers: 16 (a perfect square), 33 or "three-third" (as in 33rd degree mason or the 33-year cycle), and 39 (or 3x13.. also, there is no Pier 39 in NYC as far as I know). Second, there are the lines "the lesser" and "holder of the silver money folder". In alchemy/magick, silver is sometimes referred to as "the lesser work" and is related to the moon (which is most noticeable at midnight). There are other references as well, but I don't want to write a book about occult numerology and alchemy here ;).. just wanted to give a little insight into the overall meaning & nature of this song. It's basically a commentary on how the elite rule everyone through psychological manipulation (magick spells/alchemy), and the control of money & technology... read '1984' or 'Brave New World' and you'll get the idea.
must escape..
