Lyrics

When it speaks I am viewing

Reflecting on the act of listening or hearing something; the speaker is attentive.

The lines of meat living here

Observing the tangible aspects or physical qualities of existence.

I shall keep all I'm doing

Expressing a commitment to preserve or maintain one's current actions or lifestyle.

And when it speaks I write the view

Responding to what is heard by documenting or writing down the perspective.


But my papers, they depend on tape

Highlighting the significance of the speaker's written documents (papers) and their reliance on tape.

I stuck them to the wall

Describing the act of attaching papers to a wall using tape.

Yes, the papers depend on tape

Emphasizing the dependency of the papers on tape for stability.

So they do not fall, they do not fall

Stressing the importance of tape to prevent the papers from falling.


Let's take your home made of plaster

Suggesting a transformation of a structure (home) akin to the appearance of one's hair.

And make it run like your hair

Imagining a dynamic change or alteration in the composition of a home.

Here the cries "I am lazy"

Noting an acknowledgment or admission of laziness.

The notation writes "when you're full"

Connecting the act of notation with the idea of being satisfied when full.


But my papers, they depend on tape

Reiterating the importance of tape for the stability of the speaker's papers.

I stuck them to the wall

Reemphasizing the action of attaching papers to a wall using tape.

Yes, the papers depend on tape

Reiterating the dependence of the papers on tape for support.

So they do not fall, they do not fall

Underlining the necessity of tape to prevent the papers from falling.


There is blood on my ride

Introducing a metaphorical element, suggesting a problematic or distressing situation ("blood on my ride").

Take me back there

Expressing a desire to return to a past state or condition.

Take me home

Repeating the plea to be taken back home, reinforcing the sentiment of yearning.
