I Quit
Flames of Belief: A Surreal Journey Through the Meat Puppets' 'I Quit'
Lyrics
I believe in everything,
I have faith in everything.
In the hose and the silver ring,
Belief in ordinary things (hose) and commitment (silver ring).
I believe in everyone,
I trust in everyone.
But the flame has just begun.
Despite belief, there's a growing intensity (flame).
And I will,
Expressing determination.
I quit.
Decisive declaration of quitting.
Can't stand the sight of it.
Unable to tolerate what is being witnessed.
And I am,
Confirmation of quitting.
I know,
Self-awareness.
In the path of your evil glow.
Confronting a malevolent influence.
I believe in the gathering,
Belief in collective gatherings.
I believe in the plastic king.
Belief in superficial or artificial leadership.
I believe in everyone,
Reiteration of trust in everyone.
But the flame has just begun.
Repeating the theme of a growing intensity (flame).
And I will,
Reaffirmation of determination to quit.
I quit.
Re-emphasis on intolerance towards the observed situation.
Can't stand the sight of it.
Reiteration of the decision to quit.
And I am,
Self-awareness regarding the intolerable situation.
I know,
Reiteration of being aware of the circumstances.
In the path of your evil glow.
Still facing the influence of evil.
I believe in the rotten rope,
Belief in decay or corruption (rotten rope).
I believe in the cantalope.
Belief in the trivial or unimportant (cantaloupe).
I believe in the haunted house,
Belief in eerie or unsettling experiences (haunted house).
I believe in the Mickey Mouse.
Belief in the iconic and commercial (Mickey Mouse).
Don't believe in humanity,
Loss of belief in humanity.
Think they got the best of me.
Feeling defeated by humanity.
I believe in the cotton tree,
Belief in natural growth and simplicity (cotton tree).
Gonna' build a galaxy.
Aspiring to create something grand (galaxy).
And I will,
Reaffirmation of the decision to quit.
I quit.
Re-emphasis on intolerance towards the observed situation.
Can't stand the sight of it.
Reiteration of the decision to quit.
And I am,
Self-awareness regarding the intolerable situation.
I know,
Reiteration of being aware of the circumstances.
In the path of your evil glow.
Continued exposure to malevolent influence.
