Lyrics
Piece of meat hanging out by the reef
Possibly referring to a person as a vulnerable or exposed entity, akin to a "piece of meat" near the reef.
Piece of meat hanging out by the sea
Continuation of the metaphor, emphasizing the exposed nature of the person by the sea.
You are one, you are one to be
Addressing the person, suggesting they are distinct or unique.
You are one, you're the one to meet
Highlighting the person as significant, someone worth meeting.
Something fine, fine for me to find
Expressing a desire for something valuable to discover.
Something dangling on a line
Imagery of something tempting or enticing hanging on a line.
Take a glance, steal a few
Encouraging observation or theft of the tempting object.
There is no one stopping you
Asserting that there are no barriers preventing the observer from taking action.
Listen for the outer gaze
Suggesting a need to be aware of external perspectives or judgments.
This is fear, this is stumbling rage
Describing a state of fear and unsteady emotions.
And there is something to hide away
Hinting at concealed aspects that should be kept secret.
Coated in concrete, a pretty face
Describing a person with a superficial charm but concealed intentions.
In the blinding light, I couldn't see
Reflecting on a situation where clarity is lacking.
You and all the freaks-to-be
Reference to a group of unconventional or non-conforming individuals.
James bit the rind
A name mentioned, possibly metaphorical, with unclear significance.
A red lip and no eyes
Describing a person with certain physical attributes.
This is fortune, this is fine
Attributing value to a situation, possibly sarcastically.
I have no reverence, I have no grace
Expressing a lack of respect or admiration.
Christ has died in outer space
A religious reference with ambiguous meaning.
So sad you had to laugh
Expressing sadness in response to laughter.
But I didn't have time
Personal limitation due to lack of time.
The meat is lying
The exposed person is metaphorically lying, perhaps suggesting deception.
The meat has lied
Reiteration of deception or falsehood related to the exposed person.
Waiting for the Saturdays
Anticipation for a specific time, possibly symbolizing relief or joy.
These are tears, these are Broadway plays
Emotional expressions, tears, and references to theatrical performances.
And there is something you've locked away
Alluding to hidden aspects or emotions that are sealed away.
Coated in concrete, a frightened face
Similar to line 14, describing a frightened appearance with a superficial facade.
