Vegan in Furs
Embracing Eccentric Liberation
Lyrics
I used to think it black while at my country seat
I used to perceive everything negatively while at my country retreat
Now I'm peaking in so many ways
Now I am experiencing a heightened state in various aspects
The gloom is in retreat
The darkness is receding or diminishing
Yes the dark epoch is over I've found my efeblum
The gloomy era has ended, and I have discovered my weakness or vulnerability
Then passed Ernst's mausoleum defended by a rook
Reference to Ernst's mausoleum and encountering a defensive rook (bird)
Who shot a look so virulent it pierced me like a hook
The bird's intense and hostile gaze affects the speaker deeply
The palaver of Solipsists exploding in my skull
The inner thoughts of solipsists (those who believe only their mind is sure to exist) are overwhelming the speaker's mind
Yeah and we both despise all of the academic swine
The speaker and someone else both dislike pretentious academics
Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign
Criticism of those who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" appear harmless
So what if Wednesday finds us
Regardless of the day (Wednesday), the speaker imagines wearing metaphorical rabies parachutes
Wearing rabies parachutes
Describing an intense, foaming state akin to sea foam fairy flutes
Foaming like the melodies of sea foam fairy flutes
The atmosphere is thick or sticky, and they are immersed in the brine
The atmosphere is viscous we're sticking to the brine
(Empty line)
Yeah and we both despise all of the academic swine
Reiteration of the disdain for academic individuals
Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign
Continuation of the critique of those who made "Discus Ulysses" author seem harmless
When the lanterns fill with finches
Describing a situation where lanterns are filled with finches, leading to a conflict or brawl
So begins the brawl
The conflict arises because the speaker's mind is compared to a paper ball, while others have brains like porcupines
'Cause their brains are like porcupines
Highlighting the inability of others to understand the speaker
And mine's a paper ball
Emphasizing the difference between the speaker's thoughts (paper ball) and the thoughts of others (porcupine-like)
I know they don't understand they don't get us at all
The speaker acknowledges the lack of understanding from others
Their moss mangles polyanthus
Reference to the deterioration of their surroundings (moss mangles polyanthus)
And mine's a paper ball
The speaker's thoughts are compared to a paper ball, reinforcing a sense of vulnerability or fragility
