Cover art for Cycles to Gehenna lyrics by Aesop Rock

"Total disregard for a dying man's shark jump" "Face masking, hard-shelled ebony propeller hat" "Fireproof and festive" Lines like this are talking about this kind of stuff: http://s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/wootdesigncontestentries/shan24/1971_-_World_Record_Motorcycle_Jump-b89sai-d.jpg

The song is about either a death or crash in a motordrome motorcycle/car derby thing, or just about a person who competes in it because he is a nihilist from his environment ("This is the product of a D.I.Y. inadequate home") so he doesn't care about the danger.

"Ps - i wrote this on a self-destructing memo..." I think this is saying he will die too. Same stuff happens or is gonna happen to him.
