Barbeque
Animal Liberation Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It twists and turns in colorful subplots and sunburns and fake out endings
And sometimes my patience in the whole process starts bending
As I attempt to unravel the web by traversing and rehearsing and perversing along the doubt-laden extension chord thread of my life
And in this life we're free to dream whatever we want to
But that doesn't mean that your dreams are gonna come true
Instead as a way of getting us to move
Life dangles your dreams in front of you
And unable to resist the temptation, we continue
And it's clear to me that this life is gonna be
All about the dangling possibilities that keep turning in and turning out
Yes it's clear to me that this life is gonna be
All about the dangling possibilities
The road is long and windy
Full of twists and turns
But before you can rise from the ashes
You've got to burn baby burn
Welcome to your barbeque
Where we roast all the dreams
That never came true
Welcome to your barbeque
Pig out and dream a new
The lyrics of Animal Liberation Orchestra's song Barbeque touch on the theme of the winding road of life and its uncertainties. The road is likened to a mystery that unfolds before us, with colorful subplots and twists, sometimes causing frustration in our attempts to understand and navigate it. It is a journey filled with doubt, temptation, and unfulfilled dreams that life dangles before us, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will come true. Instead, it is a way of getting us to move forward, to keep striving for something better.
The chorus of the song, "Welcome to your barbeque, Where we roast all the dreams that never came true," suggests that we need to let go of those unfulfilled dreams and start fresh, dream bigger, and try again. Before we can rise from the ashes, we need to burn, or let go of the past. The song inspires us to embrace the uncertainties of life, to keep moving forward, trying new things, and dreaming new dreams.
