The Body Says No
The Body's Silent Rebellion: Unheard Voices of Resistance
Lyrics
People of earth, we have heard your station
Addressing the people of Earth, acknowledging their communication.
Sold your song to the United Nations
Suggesting that the song or message has been shared with the United Nations.
All on a debt to the heads of state, yeah
Referring to being indebted to political leaders or government authorities.
What could you do in this situation?
Pondering the limited options or actions in a challenging situation.
You throw the voice you know
Using a metaphorical "throwing of voice" as a means of communication.
Wouldn't say yes, the body says, "no, no, no, no"
Emphasizing a strong rejection or opposition indicated by the body.
The body says, "no, no, no, no"
-I said, "man, can you believe she didn't need me?"
Expressing disbelief that someone didn't need the speaker.
Heavens to Betsy, come on, let's see
An expression of surprise or shock, suggesting a challenging situation.
What could be worse than the wheel of history?
Questioning what could be worse than the repetitive cycle of history.
Rolling up over the rooms you've prayed in
Describing history rolling over sacred or significant spaces.
What could you do in the situation?
Reflecting on possible actions in a difficult situation.
You throw the voice you know
Repeating the metaphor of throwing one's voice to communicate.
Wouldn't say yes, the body says, "no, no, no, no"
Reiterating the strong physical response of the body in refusing.
The body says, "no, no, no, no"
-I said, "man, can you believe she didn't need me
Continuing disbelief in someone not needing the speaker as much as vice versa.
Anymore than I needed her too?"
-Man, can you believe she didn't need me
-Anymore than I needed her too?
-Man, can you believe she didn't need me
-Anymore than I needed her too?
-Than I needed her, too
Highlighting the mutual need between the speaker and the other person.
Am I repeating myself to tell you
Pondering whether there is repetition in emphasizing the importance of dreams.
Dreaming is what's left of psychedelia?
Connecting dreaming to what remains of psychedelic experiences.
Caught in the laugh of an outlaw nation
Being caught in the laughter or mockery of a rebellious group or nation.
What can you do in the situation?
Questioning possible actions in the face of a challenging situation.
You throw the voice you know
Repeating the metaphorical communication method.
Wouldn't say yes, the body says, "no, no, no, no"
Reaffirming the body's strong refusal or opposition.
The body says, "no, no, no, no"
-I said, "man, can you believe she didn't need me
Repeating the disbelief in the other person's lack of need for the speaker.
Any more than I needed her too?"
-Man, can you believe she didn't need me
-Any more than I needed her too?
-Than I needed her too
-Than I needed her too
Reiterating the mutual need between the speaker and the other person.
Than I needed her too
-I said, "man, can you believe she didn't need me?"
Final repetition of disbelief in the other person's lack of need for the speaker.
I said, "man, can you believe she didn't need me?"
-I said, "man, can you believe she didn't need me?"
