Seven Caged Tigers
Unraveling Society's Illusions: Seven Caged Tigers' Message
Lyrics
Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
Passing time, engaging in activities while time passes swiftly.
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Neither the dominant nor the submissive party is progressing.
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin' burnin'
Investing a short moment but experiencing a prolonged, intense burning sensation.
Take a peek as the model earns it earns it
Observing a model (perhaps societal or personal) achieving success repeatedly.
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin' crawlin'
Enduring a challenging journey that seems never-ending.
Clean the politician, wash with everpure
Cleansing a politician, possibly referencing a superficial attempt at purification.
So the answer gets harder
Encountering increasing difficulty in finding answers.
And the truth's getting farther and farther
The truth becoming more elusive and distant.
And the bottle keeps churnin', churnin'
A cycle of continuous and repetitive indulgence in alcohol.
Seven caged tigers fly by, fly by
Seven imprisoned struggles or conflicts swiftly passing by.
Wastin' time chasing those cows that fly
Wasting time pursuing unattainable goals represented by flying cows.
Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost
Producing something sweet and fleeting, akin to butterfly sugarboost.
Track the blade as it swoops downward and onward
Following the path of a dangerous situation as it descends and progresses.
Take a pill it'll kill martyrs, martyrs
Taking a medication that can lead to the sacrifice of martyrs.
Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by
Continuing to pass time, emphasizing the cyclical nature of existence.
Pass the umbilical cord down for this flyby
Passing down a connection (umbilical cord) for a brief encounter or momentary experience.
Take a sneak while the model earns it, earns it
Observing a model earning success repeatedly.
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
Enduring a persistent and challenging journey.
So the answer gets harder, harder
Experiencing an increasing difficulty in finding answers.
And the truth's getting farther, farther
The truth becoming more elusive and distant.
And the bottle keeps churnin', churnin'
Continuing the cycle of repetitive indulgence in alcohol.
Seven caged tigers fly by, fly by
Repetition of the image of seven confined struggles passing swiftly.
So the answer gets harder, harder
Encountering increasing difficulty in finding answers.
And the truth's getting farther, farther
The truth becoming more elusive and distant.
And the bottle keeps churnin', churnin'
Continuing the cycle of repetitive indulgence in alcohol.
Seven caged tigers fly by, fly by
Repetition of the image of seven confined struggles passing swiftly.
