I Am A Product
Alien Sex Fiend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I is the mafia,
The swing that's in your gate,
The dirty washing hanging on your line.
Like a pretty flower, never feed me at all.
Like a pretty flower never feed me...
I is life.
With her four winds blowing
Will I see you again?
I am...
I see you now
It's all over
I'm seeing through all the plastic...
Sunrise come every morning...
I live in Siberia.
Through no fault of my own,
We're a blank generation in the danger zone,
Paracidal slumbers from 7-23,
Only the blind follow me...
Abyssinia in the morning.
Breakfast in berlin..
Oh! you leave me dying.
Everybody wants what everybody's got.
And everybody's got what everybody wants.
Soldier lies bleeding where a church once stood!
The lyrics of "I Am A Product" by Alien Sex Fiend revolve around the idea of feeling like a product of the 20th century. Throughout the song, there are references to various aspects of life such as the mafia, swing, dirty washing and the four winds. The song also contrasts life and death, suggesting that they are interconnected and that the singer sees both sides.
The line "like a pretty flower, never feed me at all" reflects the idea that the singer doesn't need anything to thrive, they just exist as a product of their time. The repetition of this line also emphasizes the idea that they are just an object in their society. The line "only the blind follow me" suggests that the singer may be a leader or figurehead, but nobody is really paying attention to what they are saying or doing.
The song ends on a darker note with the line "soldier lies bleeding where a church once stood!" This line suggests that even something as sacred as a church can be torn down and replaced with something violent and destructive.
