Epilogue
Contact T.B.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of the frying pan, into the microwave
I need my fill, gotta satisfy my craves

I missed out again 'cause I ain't had enough
When the tough go shoppin', the shoppin' gets tough

I don't want to be treated like a dog
I don't want to be lost in smoke and fog
I don't want to be treated like a dog
Don't want to be just in time for the epilogue

Give me a break, don't give me no abuse
If you carry on, I'm gonna blow a fuse

Just give me one more day
I'll make up time for sure
I know I'm sick inside
So help me find a cure





Procrastination's stealing all my time
What the story, will everything turn out fine?

Overall Meaning

The song Epilogue by Contact T.B.D. is a thought-provoking piece that delves into themes of dissatisfaction, procrastination, and the need for self-improvement. The opening lines “out of the frying pan, into the microwave” give the impression of someone who is trying to escape from one difficult situation only to find themselves in another that is equally challenging. The singer is driven by a craving, a desire to fill a void that seems to persistently elude them, leaving them feeling unsatisfied.


The lyrics suggest that the character has missed out on something because they did not have enough of it. They lament that when the going gets tough, shopping becomes challenging. The singer longs not to be treated like a dog or to be lost in a world of smoke and fog. This metaphor can be interpreted as feeling undervalued, unappreciated, and misguided. The singer implores that they do not want to be simply “just in time for the epilogue.” This line implies that the character desires to fully experience life and not simply be present for the end.


The singer poses a plea to be treated with kindness and not abuse, threatening to blow a fuse if the mistreatment persists. The lyrics also suggest that the character is struggling internally, feeling sick inside and in need of a cure for their malady. The final lyric, “what the story, will everything turn out fine,” speaks to the uncertainty and anxiety that many people experience in their everyday lives. The song’s lyrics suggest that the character is not necessarily content with their life but is seeking a better, more fulfilling existence.
