Albert
Essential Logic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Albert toils in his jelly boutique
Albert's foil is jelly unique
Albert toils in his jelly boutique
Albert's foil is jelly unique
And how the menfolk rush to his jellies and creams
Slick back bare roots to well oiled vaselines
Albie ain't new and Albie ain't old
He's just an inbetween advancement who hasn't yet been told
That life is for breathing, not sitting alone

Albert toils in his jelly boutique
Albert's foil is jelly unique
And how the menfolk rush to his jellies and creams
Slick back bare roots to well oiled vaselines
Albie ain't new and Albie ain't old
He's just an inbetween advancement who hasn't yet been told
That life is for breathing, not sitting alone

He's only often nice
He's only ever sweet
He wants to leave his mark
So he gives me his arm
Often in the week

Disarmament, I give my arm to you
Disenchantment, I made this chant for you
Disarmament, I give my arm to you
Disenchantment, I made this chant for you
Disarmament, I give my arm to you
Disenchantment, I made this chant for you




Disarmament, I give my arm to you
Disenchantment, I made this chant for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Albert" by Essential Logic might seem like an ode to a man named Albert who runs a jelly boutique, but it's actually a critique of societal norms and expectations. The opening lines of "Albert toils in his jelly boutique, Albert's foil is jelly unique" suggest that Albert is unique and creative in his work, but the following lines reveal that he's simply giving in to what society expects of him. "And how the menfolk rush to his jellies and creams, slick back bare roots to well-oiled vaselines" shows how men are expected to conform to a certain image that can be achieved through the products sold at Albert's store.


The lines "Albie ain't new and Albie ain't old, he's just an inbetween advancement who hasn't yet been told that life is for breathing, not sitting alone" suggest that Albert is stuck in a cycle of conformity that he hasn't yet realized he can break free from. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the theme of disconnection and disillusionment with life. The final lines "Disarmament, I give my arm to you, Disenchantment, I made this chant for you" show the singer's desire to break free from these societal expectations and live life on their own terms.


Overall, "Albert" is a commentary on societal conformity and a call to break free from those expectations to truly live life. It encourages listeners to think beyond the expectations placed upon them and to embrace their own individuality.
