Velvet Rabbit
Dawson Kimya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The droop in your stock turned your market black
If walls could talk they'd say I don't want to shack up
Like the water I want to keep running
A lawyer with leprosy stole your umbrella
Reached over your shoulder and took your fromunda cheese
You didn't even notice it makes me wonder
this isn't a come on so come on let's face it
The come on your face is really just mayonnaise
It was on your sandwich but then you misplaced it
Now you're going to hell man
Where aleister crowley milks cows in the dairy
And the cows are the dowry for the dead girls he marries
Tariffs are tallied when bovines are buried
The farmer in the dell is the devil
I wore prosthetic pants to the homecoming dance
And my homeboy leroy had legs made of bok choy
I ate him while we danced, loaned him my pants
Romance is romantic if you've got the answers
Velvet rabbit lives in a bubble
Everyone's scared about germs getting shared
And nobody knows how soft you are
Velvet rabbit lives in a bubble
Everyone's scared about germs getting shared
And nobody knows how soft you are
The cuckoo in your clock had a heart attack
The droop in your stock turned your market black
If walls could talk they'd say I don't want to shack up
Like the water I want to keep running
Like the water I want to keep running
Like the water I want to keep running
The lyrics of Dawson Kimya's song Velvet Rabbit seem to be full of absurdity and nonsense, but upon further analysis, it becomes clear that there may be a deeper meaning behind the words. The opening lines, "The cuckoo in your clock had a heart attack, the droop in your stock turned your market black" could be a commentary on the fragility of our technological and financial systems. The reference to the cuckoo in the clock having a heart attack could be a metaphor for the breakdown of our timekeeping methods, while the droop in the stock market represents the pitfalls of capitalism.
The lyrics that follow are even more bizarre, with references to a lawyer with leprosy stealing an umbrella and taking "fromunda cheese" from someone's shoulder. It's possible that these lines are meant to highlight the absurdity of daily life and how people often fail to notice strange situations. The line "this isn't a come on so come on let's face it, the come on your face is really just mayonnaise" could be a commentary on how people often misinterpret intentions or situations.
The second half of the song brings in even more surreal imagery, with references to Aleister Crowley milking cows and the farmer in the dell being the devil. The lines "I wore prosthetic pants to the homecoming dance and my homeboy Leroy had legs made of bok choy" are especially nonsensical, but the idea of wearing fake legs to fit in at a social event could be a commentary on the pressures to conform in society.
Overall, the lyrics of Velvet Rabbit seem to be a critique of societal norms and the pressures to conform. The use of absurd and surreal imagery may be a way to illustrate just how ridiculous these norms can be.
