Dr. Octagon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Octagon Octagon" by Dr. Octagon is a humorous and surreal depiction of a world consumed by the octagon shape. The lyrics describe how the octagon obsession has taken over people's lives, with news reports of octagon mania, people wearing octagon underwear, bathing with octagon soap, and owning octagon motorcycles and bikes. The references to octagon heights and octagon posters suggest that even neighborhoods and celebrities have become octagon-themed. The song also mentions the use of octagon fuel, dog food, and condoms, as well as octagon tampons for women. The lyricist attributes the spread of octagon fever to the "octagon germ", and describes how people are taking octagon painkillers and undergoing octagon surgery to get an octagon face.
The surreal and absurdist nature of the song suggests that it is a commentary on the absurdity of consumer culture, where people are constantly bombarded by advertisements and encouraged to consume and identify with brand identities. The octagon obsession may also be a metaphor for conformity and the pressure to fit into certain cultural norms or trends. At the same time, the playful tone of the song and the use of humor and exaggeration suggest a celebration of individuality and creativity in the face of such conformity.
