Ripoff
Unveiling the Eccentric World: 'Ripoff' by Scott Tirf
Lyrics
The weirdest diet to connect the dots
The strangest method to find connections
It's the fish's head that rots
The decomposing head of a fish
Sweetened bugs and sand in the eye
Bugs sweetened and sand causing discomfort in the eyes
The coldest rivers will never die
The coldest rivers, symbolic of enduring challenges, will persist
It's a rip-off anyway
Life feels like a scam or deception
And it's all that I can say
Expressing frustration or resignation
Now you know how
A realization of the situation
It's a rip-off anyway
Life remains deceptive despite awareness
And it's all that I can play
Dealing with life's challenges is like playing a game
They always tell you there's no one like you
Assurances of uniqueness are often untrue
Except the others and a guy named Drew
Acknowledging similarities with others, including someone named Drew
The locust sits on the barbeque
An insect (locust) sits on the barbecue, possibly representing intrusion or disturbance
A head on a plate coming through
A severed head on a plate, suggesting a disturbing or surreal image
It's a rip-off anyway
Life's deceptive nature reiterated
And it's all that I can say
Continued frustration or acceptance of life's deceptive qualities
Now you know how
A reminder of the acknowledged situation
It's a rip-off anyway
Repetition of the idea that life is a rip-off
And it's all that I can play
Approaching life as if playing a game with deceptive rules
It's a rip-off anyway
Reiteration of life being a rip-off
Like a golem made of clay
Comparing life to a golem made of clay, possibly highlighting its artificial or constructed nature
Now you know how
Reaffirmation of the acknowledgment of life's deceptive nature
It's a rip-off anyway
Life as a deceptive game continues
And it's all that I can play
Acknowledgment that expressing frustration is all that can be done
