The Return Of The Son Of Monster Magnet Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Buddy Guy 

Cover art for The Return Of The Son Of Monster Magnet lyrics by Frank Zappa

I think it's about two things...

Firstly, it is about being yourself. Doing what you want, (especially with art), regardless of what is considered normal / popular at the time. Just being yourself, even if it might be considered weird.

You never know how far you can go until you put yourself out there and try

Secondly, It most likely is about being on drugs.

Now.. this isn't exactly positive... I feel like this song expresses more of the negativity about being on drugs. (as you can tell the people aren't saying very intelligent stuff and they seem to be embarrassing themselves while on the drugs), this is why the Subconsciousness is asking why are you doing this? You are making yourself look silly.

I feel like it successfully shows the person is on drugs BUT the world around them is still going on normally, so they seem really weird compared to everyone around them who is sober and possibly starring at the way they are acting.
