The lyrics of Bowery Electric's song Beat in 2-3 are repetitive and minimalist, but they carry a powerful message about the limitations and weakness of words. The repetition of the phrase "Words are just noise" highlights the idea that words alone cannot convey the full range of human experience, emotion, and meaning. They can be empty, devoid of substance, and meaningless. The lyrics suggest that words can be inadequate in expressing the complexity of human thoughts, feelings, and experiences. They can be easily repeated and devoid of real meaning.
The phrase "Repeat after me" is significant because it suggests conformity and a lack of independent thinking. It is a common phrase used in indoctrination or brainwashing, where individuals are encouraged to blindly repeat what they are told without questioning or thinking critically. In the context of the song, "Repeat after me" may refer to the idea that words can be used to manipulate and control individuals, suppressing their individuality and freedom.
Overall, the lyrics of "Beat in 2-3" offer a scathing critique of language and its limitations. It warns against the danger of relying too heavily on words and suggests that there is a deeper, more profound meaning to life that cannot be fully expressed through language.

The imagery of the cover is sort of hypnotic. It matches the feeling of the music. Like being frozen in a moment of sound forever.

As if you are speeding down the freeway at 80mph and time suddenly freezes, that moment of sound playing over and over again to form an insanity-inducing drone
