Cover art for The Full Retard lyrics by El-P

"Just a Cassandra too drained to painfully word it further Future of a gerbil up ass of masochist, that's my word up"

El-P has a gift for saying terrible, gritty things in a poetic fashion. Of course, Cassandra is the cursed prophet of Greek mythology who was gifted with visions of the future, but no one believed her due to the curse placed upon her. In a way, El likens himself to Cassandra in the sense that he knows the world is going to shit and there's little hope (future of a gerbil up ass of masochist), but nobody believes him or takes him seriously.

"Throat fuck your lucky day, the flight of a torn kite"

Amazing internal rhyme (flight/kite) and again with the hopeless imagery. A torn kite cannot fly.
