Mosquito Song
Nature's Carnivores: A Melodic Tale of Life's Feast
Lyrics
I know, I know the sun is hot
I acknowledge that the sun is intense
Mosquitoes come suck your blood
Mosquitoes extract your blood
And leave you there all alone
Leaving you abandoned and solitary
Just skin and bone
Reduced to just skin and bones
When you walk among the trees
While walking amidst the trees
Listening to the leaves
Attentive to the sounds of the leaves
The further I go, the less I know
The more I explore, the less I understand
The less I know
Knowledge diminishes as I proceed
Where will you run?
Where will you seek refuge?
Where will you hide?
Where will you conceal yourself?
Lullabies to paralyze
Lullabies designed to induce paralysis
Fat and soft, pink and weak
Describing characteristics as fat, soft, pink, and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
Referencing various body parts
You know I'm told they swallow you whole, skin and bone
Suggesting the notion of being swallowed whole, reduced to skin and bone
Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Mentions of cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
References to violent and gruesome imagery
Promising you won't feel a thing at all
Assurance that the experience will be painless
Swallow and chew
Instructing to swallow and chew
Eat you alive
A call to be consumed alive
All of us food that hasn't died
Viewing everyone as food that is still alive
And the knife says
The knife communicates
Simmering, pick and pluck
Describing culinary processes like simmering, picking, and plucking
Tenderize bone to dust
Transforming bones into dust through tenderization
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
Highlighting the enticing qualities of the meat
So you scream, whine, and yell
Depiction of screaming, whining, and yelling
Supple sounds of dinner bells
Imagery of dinner bells with supple sounds
We all will feed the worms and trees
Emphasizing the inevitability of feeding worms and trees
So don't be shy
An encouragement not to be reserved
Swallow and chew
Reiteration of the instruction to swallow and chew
Eat you alive
A reminder of being consumed alive
All of us food that hasn't died
Viewing everyone as food that is still alive
