Fool Around
Island of Bad Grace: Love, Decay, and the Price of Escape
Lyrics
He was a castaway
Feeling abandoned or isolated
I was a cannibal
Metaphorically consuming or taking advantage of others
I wasn't the only one
Others shared similar experiences or behaviors
In the crystal palace
Metaphorical place of opulence or extravagance
Getting stoned
Being under the influence of drugs
But I wanted to escape
Desire to escape a situation
The blazing eye
Intense scrutiny or pressure
Of the sun
The oppressive nature of a powerful force
And it was so sad
Regret over actions towards someone
What I did to him
Guilt or remorse for mistreating another
I wanted to replace
Desire to substitute for a feeling of emptiness or lack of excitement
The aching boredom
Monotony or dullness
Of decay
Deterioration or decline
But of course it was hell
Realization of the suffering caused
For me to pay
Consequences faced for actions taken
Off the bloated white freak
A repulsive or excessive figure
With my love
Attempting to compensate with affection
Now on whom shall I feast
Seeking another to exploit or take advantage of
In this market of fleas?
Referring to a place or situation filled with undesirable options
Now that you have already
Others already involved or engaged
Tied yourselves to the stomachs
Metaphorical attachment to the vulnerability of others
Of my sheep
Having control or influence over others
And what could I possible taste
Difficulty finding satisfaction or fulfillment
On this island of bad grace?
A place or situation filled with unfortunate circumstances
Having already suffered up
Having endured previous challenges
An immunity
Developed resistance or immunity to harmful influences
To all such poisoned wine
Resistance to detrimental experiences
And I truly starved
Experiencing extreme hunger or need
While I read that each word
Anticipation for something to transform or change
would turn to flesh
Expectation of words having a profound impact
But I wanted to believe in a basket
Desire for something pure or unspoiled
Of unleavened bread
Symbolic hope or belief
And it was so sad
Regret over actions towards someone
What I did to him
Guilt or remorse for mistreating another
I wanted to replace
Desire to substitute for a feeling of emptiness or lack of excitement
The aching boredom
Monotony or dullness
Of decay
Deterioration or decline
But of course it was hell
Realization of the suffering caused
For me to pay
Consequences faced for actions taken
Off the bloated white freak
A repulsive or excessive figure
With my love
Attempting to compensate with affection
