Put Your Big Toe in the Milk of Human Kindness
Dipping into the Depths: Exploring the Human Kindness
Lyrics
Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
Encourages embracing compassion and empathy towards others.
Have you ever seen the like of this mankind?
Expresses awe or disbelief at the nature of humanity.
If a boy or girl is cute, we simply shoot to starry heights
Suggests that attractiveness can propel individuals to success.
Any maybe, any might
Highlights the uncertainty in achieving success, using "maybe" and "might."
But always so capricious, in the face of wonder we`re suspicious
Comments on the unpredictable nature of human reactions.
And though we came from frogs and fishes
References the evolutionary origins of humans from amphibians and fish.
Our taste is far from fine
Remarks on the paradox of refined taste despite humble origins.
Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
Reiterates the call to embrace kindness and compassion.
Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
Repeats the encouragement to embrace kindness.
Have you ever seen the like of this mankind?
Reiterates the expression of awe or disbelief in humanity.
You take the Himalayas, you`ll take Manhattan`s finest mountain top
Compares significant geographical locations, emphasizing personal preferences.
He wouldn't change his whiskey sour for any bitter crop
Underlines the resistance to change, using a preference for familiar pleasures.
But always so contrary, from Father Christmas to the Virgin Mary
Describes a tendency towards contradiction, even in matters of tradition and faith.
And though the moments of belief
Refers to fleeting moments of belief or conviction.
Fly by before you find if you`d just unhand your mind
Advises holding onto one's beliefs despite their transient nature.
Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
Repeats the call to immerse oneself in the kindness of humanity.
But always so contrary, from Father Christmas to the Virgin Mary
Reiterates the idea of contradiction in human behavior.
And though the moments of belief
Repeats the mention of fleeting moments of belief.
Fly by before you find if you`d just unhand your mind
Encourages maintaining beliefs despite their transient nature.
Put your big toe in the milk of human kindness
Concludes by restating the call to embrace the milk of human kindness.
