Chi
Echoes of Surrender: Plastic Baby Jesus Unveils the Depths in 'Chi'
Lyrics
Shame empties his tank
Shame exhausts his emotional capacity
Unloads his bank
Expresses regret by spending all his resources
On the mouth of the floor
Metaphorically refers to a degraded state, possibly a low point
I'd never been sterile still
Despite past experiences, still capable of producing life
Come with me I'll be chill
Invitation to join for a relaxed and carefree time
Says someone you don't know
Reference to an unfamiliar person making an offer
Harry curses me out
Harry expresses anger, possibly a conflicted relationship
Kind of gets me hard
Confession that being cursed excites or arouses
Promises to be slow
Commitment to a slow-paced relationship
Take your head out the sand
Encouragement to face reality, stop avoiding issues
Shave you're head cause you're sad
Symbolic act of shaving one's head due to sadness
Never get where you go
Uncertain outcomes despite efforts
And I should call a ride home
Repetition emphasizes the need to seek help or guidance
And I should call a ride home
-And I should call a ride home
-And I should call a ride
-Fairies whisper me down
Supernatural entities guide or influence the speaker
Dress me how they want
External pressure to conform to expectations
Wanted me to be slow
Desire for a slow-paced life conflicting with external pressures
Take the rich out of ritz
Stripping away luxury and glamour
Take the blonde out of bold
Removing superficial qualities, becoming genuine
Don't you feel like a doll
Feeling like an object without autonomy
Sherry curses me out
Another person, Sherry, expressing anger
Kinda makes me froth
Anger from Sherry creates agitation or excitement
And I'm one to be known
Recognition of the speaker's identity
Take your head out the sand
Reiteration of the need to confront reality
Steal your head for a sec
Suggestive of a transformative act, stealing one's head momentarily
Never get where you'd go
The difficulty of reaching one's desired destination
And I should call a ride home
Repetition underscores the urgency of seeking help
And I should call a ride home
-And I should call a ride home
-And I should call a ride
-And I should call a ride home
Continued emphasis on the need for external assistance
And I should call a ride home
-And I should call a ride home
-And I'm just one to be known
-And I should call a ride home
Final plea for guidance or support
And I should call a ride home
-And I should call a ride home
-And I should call a ride
