Lyrics
Ever since they put you away
Reflecting on the impact since someone's confinement.
Things haven t been quite the same
Notable changes in life following the confinement.
They cut off all your lovely hair
Physical alteration, possibly symbolic of control or conformity.
And gave you a brand new brain
Implies a significant alteration in the person's mentality.
Sent you to university
Transition to higher education as a societal expectation.
Cause that was the next step up
Education as a progression in societal norms.
Studying sociology
Choice of study in sociology, indicative of societal focus.
They gave you a plastic cup
Receiving a plastic cup, perhaps symbolic of societal conformity.
What happened to you with your brand new brain?
Raising questions about the impact of the new mindset.
What will they do if they get you again?
Fear or concern about potential consequences if captured again.
Animal! Coming to get you!
Introduction of the term "Animal" as a threatening force.
Animal! Cause you went insane!
Suggesting a descent into insanity as a consequence.
Your new brain was working really well
The new brain functioning well, but with an underlying issue.
And they were satisfied
Satisfaction from an external perspective despite hidden problems.
They thought they'd done a miracle
Belief in a miraculous transformation, overlooking hidden aspects.
But you had something to hide
The individual concealing something, not fully transformed.
They left a bit of your old brain
Remnants of the original self left within.
Stuck inside your skull
Old elements affecting the new, causing disruption.
That bit screwed up your culture
The disruption impacting cultural identity.
You became an animal
Transformation into an "animal" due to the disrupted identity.
One night you were drinking
Narrative shift to a specific incident in a student bar.
In the student bar
Setting the scene of drinking in a university environment.
Two pints blew your animal mind
Introducing a turning point where excessive drinking leads to a change in mindset.
Your brain just went too far
Describing a sudden shift in mental state, possibly loss of control.
The laughter turned to slaughter
Transition from joy to violence, indicating a destructive outcome.
You took all you could get
Excessive behavior, taking everything available without restraint.
Now you sit alone in a disco
Isolation and reflection in a disco setting, potentially post-destructive behavior.
Smoking cigarettes
Depiction of a solitary, contemplative state involving smoking.
