Aerosol Burns
Essential Logic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don′t know what to think
I better hurry up
And tidy up the kitchen sink
Cut by a razor-blade
Deep through my antibodies
Shut up my worldly germs
Aerosol burns
Aerosol burns
Your soul so aeroplastic
Your mind too egoplastic
Touchin' your stretch elastic
Only thing is
Aerosol burns
Aerosol burns
Aerosol burns
I don't know what to think
I don′t know all of you
I tidy up the kitchen sink
I tidy up the kitchen sink
Cut by a razor-blade
Deep through my antibodies
Shut up my worldly germs
Something is
Aerosol burns
Aerosol turns
Your soul so aeroplastic
You′re mine too egoplastic
Touchin' your stretch elastic
Only thing is
Aerosol burns
Aerosol burns
Aerosol burns
I don′t know what to think
I don't know all of you
I tidy up the kitchen sink
Is anybody gonna clear up the back?
The lyrics of Aerosol Burns by Essential Logic contain a mix of themes of confusion, internal conflicts, and cleanliness. The opening lines indicate that the singer is feeling mixed up and does not know what to think. They then suggest that they need to "hurry up and tidy up" the kitchen sink. This line can be interpreted literally as an indication of the singer's desire for cleanliness or metaphorically as a representation of their desire to put their thoughts and emotions in order.
The second set of lyrics introduces the idea of being "cut by a razor-blade" and having "aerosol burns". These lines could be interpreted in a number of ways, but one possible reading is that the singer is feeling wounded or under attack, perhaps from their own thoughts or from external pressures. The reference to "antibodies" suggests a physical response to this attack, but the line "shut up my worldly germs" implies a more metaphorical cleansing.
The final set of lyrics reiterates the themes of confusion and the desire for order. The singer again indicates that they do not know what to think and that they need to tidy up the kitchen sink. The closing line, "Is anybody gonna clear up the back?", could be read as a plea for help or a more general commentary on the messiness of life and the challenges of putting things in order.

If the saxophone sounds familiar, it's Lora Logic, who played on "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by X-Ray Spex.
