Monkeys
Beyond Hoops and Rackets: Unveiling the Ghostly Symphony of 'Monkeys'
Lyrics
You can take a million of the monkeys
You can gather a large number of monkeys
Put 'em through a hoop
Subject the monkeys to a test or challenge
You can make a packet from the rackets
You can profit from the deceitful activities
And boil down for soup
Suggestive of exploiting and reducing things to a basic form, possibly a metaphor for manipulation
I can hear the sound of music
Reference to the auditory experience of music
Lingering taste of the jewellery
Implies a lasting impression or impact of adornments or superficiality
You're the walk on ghost
Describing someone as a spectral presence in life
You're a living host (argh)
Refers to a person who plays host to life but expresses discomfort or distress ("argh")
All of they want you to be.
Societal expectations of conformity
You can take a million of the monkeys
Repetition of the idea of gathering monkeys for a purpose
Put 'em through a hoop
Reiteration of subjecting monkeys to a test or challenge
You can make a packet from the rackets
Reiteration of profiting from deceitful activities
And boil down for soup
Repetition of reducing things to a basic form, possibly a metaphor for manipulation
I can hear the sound of make up
Reference to the sensory experience of makeup
Lingering stench of the jewellery
Implies a lingering negative impact or impression of adornments or superficiality
You're the walk on ghost
Describing someone as a spectral presence in life
You're a living host (argh)
Reiteration of hosting life with a hint of discomfort or distress ("argh")
All of they want you to be.
Societal pressure to conform to expectations
I can hear the sound of music
Repetition of the auditory experience of music
Lingering taste of the jewellery
Reiteration of a lasting impact or impression of adornments or superficiality
You're the walk on ghost
Describing someone as a spectral presence in life
You're a living host (argh)
Reiteration of hosting life with a hint of discomfort or distress ("argh")
All of they want you to be.
Societal expectations and pressures
Walk on ghost, Living host
Repetition emphasizing the themes of a spectral presence and hosting life
Walk on ghost, Living host
-Living ghost, Walk on host
Combination of "living ghost" and "walk on host," possibly expressing contradictions or conflicts in identity or existence
