Heathen
Unraveling the Electrician's Paradox: Heathen by Kira McSpice
Lyrics
Hey
Expression of greeting or attention
Come my way
Invitation to come in the speaker's direction
I conduct the current
Claiming control over a force or situation
And you will go my way
Assuring that the person addressed will follow the speaker's lead
You...
Repetition, possibly emphasizing a point or the person addressed
You...
-Green green green white and yellow
Mention of colors, possibly symbolic, urging caution
Don't get your chords all crossed
Warning against confusion or disarray
Or they'll glow orange like the toaster in your kitchen
Metaphor involving a toaster, suggesting potential danger if things go awry
And you cannot start that fire
Failure to start a metaphorical fire, possibly a reference to a desired outcome
You...
Repetition, maintaining emphasis on the person addressed
You...
-Oh you heathen
Labeling the person as a "heathen" and "electrician," possibly criticizing or describing their actions
You heathen
-Electrician
-You heathen
-You've got to make the connection
Stressing the importance of making a connection, possibly both literal and metaphorical
Screw screws and not switches
Advice to prioritize certain actions over others, using specific examples
The Virgin Mary's not in her shrine
Mention of the Virgin Mary, questioning her absence, possibly hinting at religious or spiritual themes
And I don't like the look of that
Expressing discomfort or concern about something observed
Oh you heathen
Repetition of the terms "heathen" and "electrician," possibly reinforcing the characterization
Electrician
-Oh you
-You heathen
