Shades of Wickedness: A Journey Through Urban Extermination
Lyrics
I can smell a rat when it's all rat
I can detect dishonesty or deceit when it's present
I can't find one in an elevator
I can't find any dishonesty even in situations where it might be expected
My mind doesn't work so bad
My intellect is not inherently flawed
But I am a poor exterminator
However, I am not skilled at getting rid of pests
That's right
A confirmation of the previous statement
I can't destroy entirely
I cannot completely destroy or eliminate things
Or annihilate a little later
Or eradicate them a little later
I can't see the entire city
I don't have a complete view of the city
But I'm not a bad exterminator
But I'm not entirely ineffective as an exterminator
I'm just a shade shy of true wickedness
Expressing a slight inclination towards wickedness
I'm a shade shy of truly loving it, yea
Being close to fully enjoying wickedness
There are other things I'd rather be doing
Expressing a desire for activities other than extermination
Even nothing
Expressing a preference for doing nothing
Even nothing
Reiteration of the preference for doing nothing
Even nothing with you
Expressing a preference for doing nothing in the company of someone
One day I'll make some honest rock n' roll Full of handclaps and gang vocals
Anticipating a future where honest rock 'n' roll is created
We'll be a shade shy of true wickedness
Being close to fully embracing wickedness in the future
We'll be a shade shy of truly loving this, yea
Being close to truly loving the future creative process
There are other things we'll rather be doing, sure even nothing
Expressing a preference for other activities in the future, possibly doing nothing
Even nothing
Reiteration of the preference for doing nothing in the future
Even nothing with you
Expressing a preference for doing nothing in the future with someone
We'll load out through the snow
Describing the process of leaving through the snow
Through small groups of people smoking
Passing by small groups of people who are smoking
Hey! Get that kick drum loaded!
An instruction or command related to loading equipment
Into the backseat folded down!
Refers to the backseat being folded down for loading
We'll go virtually unnoticed
Anticipating going unnoticed during the departure
What's gripping the city ain't hitting the town
Suggesting that the city's issues are not affecting the town
We'll be a shade shy of true wickedness
Anticipating being close to embracing wickedness during the departure
We'll be a shade shy of truly loving it, yea
Being close to truly enjoying the departure
There are other things we'll surely miss
Anticipating missing other things during the departure
We'll load out through the snow
Reiteration of leaving through the snow
Through small groups of people smoking
Passing by small groups of people who are smoking during the departure
Hey! Get that kick drum loaded!
Reiteration of the instruction or command related to loading equipment
Into the backseat folded down!
Reiteration of the backseat being folded down for loading
We'll go perfectly unnoticed
Anticipating going perfectly unnoticed during the departure
Whats gripping the city ain't hitting the town
Reiterating that the city's issues are not affecting the town during the departure
