Incest
Love's Rebellion: Distorted Penguins' Tale of Forbidden Bonds
Lyrics
Today I'm up, tomorow I'm down,
Expressing fluctuations in emotions, feeling both up and down.
It's hard to say what I'll do when you're not around
Uncertainty about actions when the person addressed is not present.
Right I'm happy but how long can that last
Acknowledging current happiness but questioning its duration.
An hour comes and goes and then I'm feeling cashed
Feeling drained or exhausted after a short-lived positive experience.
So I guess I'm through,
Deciding to move on from the current situation or relationship.
Look for someone new.
Expressing the intention to find a new person or opportunity.
I'm a punk and you're a princess
Highlighting a contrast in personalities, describing oneself as a punk and the other as a princess.
Loving me would be as wrong as Incest.
Stating that a romantic involvement between the speaker and the other person would be morally wrong, comparing it to incest.
I call you up, the telephone,
Attempting to communicate with the other person through a phone call.
You're never there and so I moan and groan
Frustration about the unavailability of the person, leading to complaint.
Motivation don't come easily,
Expressing difficulty in finding motivation, especially in the context of the relationship.
Especially when you are you and I am me.
Highlighting the differences between the speaker and the other person.
So I'm feeling bored,
Feeling bored and questioning the purpose of emotions.
What are feelings for?
Raising a philosophical question about the role and significance of emotions.
I'm a punk and you're a princess
Reiterating the mismatch in personalities and the impracticality of a romantic connection.
Loving me would be as wrong as Incest
Emphasizing the taboo nature of a romantic relationship between the speaker and the other person, comparing it to incest.
I'm a pest and you're a godess
Describing oneself as a pest and the other as a goddess.
Loving me would be a touch less than modest, now
Suggesting that a romantic involvement would be immodest, given the perceived difference in status.
I'm a punk and you're a princess
Repeating the theme of the unsuitability of a romantic connection.
Loving me would be as wrong as Incest
Restating the comparison between the relationship and incest, underlining its moral wrongness.
I'm a pest and you're a godess
Reiterating the contrast in personalities and the undesirability of a romantic link.
Loving me would be a touch less than modest, now
Reemphasizing the immodesty of a romantic relationship between the two individuals.
I'm a punk and you're a princess
Repeating the theme of the incongruity in personalities.
Loving me would be as wrong as Incest
Restating the moral objection to a romantic involvement, likening it to incest.
I'm a punk; you're a princess
Reaffirming the contrast in personalities.
Loving me would be as wrong as Incest now
Reiterating the moral objection to a romantic connection, once again comparing it to incest.
