Being and Nothingness
Journey Through Existence: Unraveling the Meaning in Slough Feg's Being and Nothingness
Lyrics
Existence is my crime
Existence is seen as a wrongdoing or a punishable act.
Abound to land in time
Destined to reach a particular point in time.
With no goals to comprehend
Lack of clear objectives or purposes to understand.
Arrived upon the scene
Having entered the stage of existence.
No gods to intervene
No divine entities to interfere or meddle.
And no being left in time
No entities left in the flow of time.
Out of nothingness I'm born
Originating from nothingness, the speaker is born.
I'm obnoxious and forlorn
The speaker is unpleasant and filled with sorrow.
Just a being out of time
Just an existence existing outside the normal flow of time.
A distorted nursery crime
Describing oneself as a distorted creation akin to a twisted nursery rhyme.
Our brains are left in vats
Minds are isolated in containers, and there's a reference to a maze with rats.
The labyrinth and the rats
Symbolism of a complex situation and the challenges faced.
With no world to comprehend
No clear understanding of the world around.
Perversions of the soul
Deviant behaviors affecting the essence of the soul.
Theodicies unfold
Theological explanations for the existence of evil or suffering unfold.
But your mind has met its end
The mind has reached a point of no return or conclusion.
And their bodies go to waste
Referring to wasted bodies, likely a metaphor for unfulfilled lives.
Decomposing in bad taste
Decomposition in a distasteful manner within a confusing situation.
In a Labyrinth of wine
In a confusing and intoxicating environment like a labyrinth of wine.
I'm avoiding space and time
Avoiding the constraints of space and time.
