Blue Flowers Revisited
Dr. Octagon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For priests my anesthetics prescribe a certain fertilizer
Homegrown computer wise on the microphone
Utilizing tracks inverted by animical
High typical force, space sex intercourse
You get lost, and memorize to the Enterprise
Scotty the Captain, Mr. Spock keeps rappin'
Four two one two, the shit moves at warp speed
Moving in crystals, operating light speed
I see the plants, they're growing
Blue flowers
Blue flowers
Cyber analog through virtual reality
Different colors of earth rocks in variety
Medical equal, with helmets on the space people
Galactic at 8, the verdict can't demonstrate
You be confused, and disobeying planet rules
Biochemistry, with stars for publicity
Megasonic bass, with data chips in your face
Nuclear lend drums, that bang hard on dark tracks
Reacting reverb, conscious spots on your nerve
I take a break like James Brown to the bridge
Sailing, takes me away
To wherever I'm really going, shoobedowop
Up, up, and away!
In my beautiful, balloon!
Optical biofeedback, magnetic borders
X-Ray you see skeletons fly North for the next day
We give passes covered with dioxalyn gases
Return
Here's George Jetson!
Back with intriguing positive minerals
You enter the center search and raiding at random
with no condom, no rubbers will reach the testicles
and effect em, by animal means, I'm in your spectrum
As I walk through the garden of orange tomatoes, I see
Blue flowers
Blue flowers
Blue flowers
blue flowers, yes
The song "Blue Flowers Revisited" by Dr. Octagon is an intricate and complex portrayal of a futuristic world, combining elements of science fiction and psychedelic hip hop. The opening lines of the song introduce the singer, Dr. Octagon, who is introduced as a paramedic with a focus on the East. The song goes on to describe the use of anesthetics prescribed for priests, and a homegrown computer that is wise on the microphone. The singer raps about navigating through space sex intercourse, at warp speed, with four-two one-two, and moving in crystals operating at light speed, while memorizing everything to the Enterprise.
The second verse delves into the theme of cyber analog through virtual reality, with Medical equalization, helmets for space people, and galactic at 8. The singer brings in the theme of confusion and planet rules, while biochemistry takes center stage for publicity. The song concludes with the singer taking a break, as the musical bridge comes in, which speaks about sailing away and escaping to wherever one is really going, embodying a sense of freedom and escape. The song's outro gives a psychedelic nod to the cartoon "The Jetsons" while continuing to meditate on the blue flowers that have been mentioned throughout the song.
