Beck Lyrics

Monkey see, monkey die
Life is an endless cycle without meaning, and copying others will only lead to our inevitable demise.

Laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
Society values superficiality and false appearances above all, and we are encouraged to project and idolize an image of ourselves that doesn't reflect reality.

'cause it's squalid and it's solid and it's
Our world may be chaotic and messy, but it is also stable and unchanging in its dysfunctionality.

Completely rancid and beautiful
Despite its ugliness, there is a certain kind of twisted appeal to the darkness in the world, something that draws us to explore it.

Like a forcefield of multiplying meat
The world's destructive tendencies and negative energy create a sort of impenetrable barrier that surrounds and overwhelms us.

Cut a hole in the floor to see
Sometimes we have to break through our preconceived notions and beliefs in order to gain a new perspective on the world around us.

Just how close to hell we're standin'
We need to take a hard look at how our actions are shaping the world we live in, and whether we are contributing to or preventing its descent into chaos.

Time shoots forward in your skull
Our rushing, frantic lives make it feel like time is constantly slipping away, leaving us struggling to keep up.

Scattered to the four winds chucked in a bucket
Our society is quick to discard and forget about those who don't fit into the mold, leaving those individuals feeling lost and alone.

Riding lampost, moldy toast
We all go through the motions in life, following the same routines and paths without really thinking about what they mean or whether they're worth pursuing.

Excitement level: zero
Our mundane lives drain us of any sense of excitement or passion, leaving us feeling numb and unfulfilled.

Rock the casbah, bring the noise
We need to shake things up and challenge the status quo, rejecting the oppressive structures and systems that hold us back.

Amplified dishwashers
We live in a world that is noisy and chaotic, with sounds assaulting us from all angles and disrupting our ability to focus or think clearly.

Exploring the boring to the core
Sometimes the most banal and uninteresting things in life can provide the richest opportunities for introspection and growth.

People with cordless personalities
We are increasingly disconnected and shallow in our interactions with others, relying on technology and artificial means to communicate rather than genuine human connection.

Runnin' around in new wave bionic jogging suits
We are constantly chasing after the latest trends and technologies, desperate to stay up-to-date and relevant even at the expense of our own personal comfort and health.

California white boy sound
We live in a world where people appropriate and commodify cultures that are not their own, perpetuating systems of inequality and erasure in the process.

Rocket-powered and nailed to the ground
We aspire to greatness and success but are often trapped by our own limitations and the constraints of society.

New age, old age
Despite our constant cries for change and progress, we often find ourselves stuck in the same patterns and behaviors that have always defined us.

Totally lame
The things that we idolize and aspire to are often empty and meaningless, leaving us feeling disillusioned and hopeless.

Straight to the middle of the road
Rather than taking risks or standing out, we often opt for the safest and most predictable path in life, sacrificing our individuality in the process.

Rewind the tape
We often find ourselves stuck in the past, clinging to old memories or regrets and failing to move forward.

Play the whole thing backwards
Sometimes we need to look at things from a different perspective, turning them on their head and finding new meaning in old experiences.

With the sound completely turned off
When we strip away all the distractions and noise in our lives, we can gain a new appreciation for the simple beauty and meaning that exists all around us.
