Guilty
Guilty Pursuit: Unraveling the Complexities of Otherness
Lyrics
Well does it please my honor to testify
Expressing willingness to testify, possibly in a legal context.
There's something that I've got to confess
An admission of needing to reveal something.
Me and the boys went looking for some trouble
Recalling a situation where the speaker and friends sought trouble.
And I guess we found us a mess
Acknowledging that their pursuit led to a problematic situation.
You know we were just chasing aliens
Describing the group's activity of pursuing extraterrestrial beings.
'Cause those folks are different to us
Noting the difference between the group and the aliens.
Someone started tooting and then we started shooting
Describing an escalation from tooting (possibly horns) to shooting.
Now some people are trying to raise a fuss
Addressing the consequences and backlash from their actions.
I find them guilty
Declaring the aliens guilty.
Ah, take them away
Calling for the removal or punishment of the aliens.
Well we were hunting the kind with the different mind
Narrating the group's pursuit of individuals with different minds.
Those peoples with the strange eyes
Referring to people with unique characteristics, possibly alien.
Gonna purge this town with a burial mound
Expressing an intention to cleanse the town for a new beginning.
So a new day can arise
Describing the purpose of the town purification.
Me and the men were down in the glen
Detailing the group's activities in the glen, tending to cattle and fences.
Branding the cattle and fixing the fence
Describing routine tasks undertaken by the speaker and companions.
We could have swore that we saw some more
Suspecting the presence of more targets and reacting aggressively.
So we let 'em have it again and again
Repeating the aggressive response to perceived threats.
