Food
Fabulous Downey Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't be sure about a heart attack
So, I'm going back home to relax
cnd I don't want to get too fat
So I'm gonna meet a friend from out of town
Business man passing by
Really like his shirt and tie
So I ask him for some real advice
That I understand a thing or two about price
I don't mean to be rude
But I'm in the mood
For some of your food
I'll barf in your face
I'll barf in your face
So give me a plate of
Some of that food
I have an aromatic of some voluptuous gump
I want to be the savior of every one of your bumps
Forget the catatonic and subterranean love
I want to see the vision won and won and
One and one and two is four
I just want a little more
You charged a nickle I over paid
The price of pretty pink lemonade
Take my hand it's really all about us
Break a back a bay bay beetle zay
hey hey hey I'de do it again
But I'm underpaid at the Busy Bay
I work real hard all night and day
I'm gonna write a book about town
These lyrics by the Fabulous Downey Brothers seem to touch on various themes such as nostalgia, consumerism, and the craving for indulgence. The opening line, "In my head I'm going back," suggests a longing for the past or a desire to escape from the present. The uncertainty about a heart attack could symbolize a fear of the unknown or a feeling of vulnerability. The singer decides to go back home to relax, expressing a need for familiarity and comfort.
The mention of not wanting to get too fat hints at a concern with appearances and societal expectations. The following lines introduce a chance encounter with a business man, possibly representing a figure of success or authority. The admiration for his attire and the seeking of advice suggest a desire for guidance or validation. However, the repetition of "I'll barf in your face" appears to mock this aspirational mentality, as if to say that chasing material possessions or accomplishments ultimately leads to a sense of emptiness.
The lyrics then transition into a series of nonsensical phrases, such as "an aromatic of some voluptuous gump" and "catatonic and subterranean love." These words might allude to the absurdity and superficiality of consumer culture. The mentioning of overpaying for pink lemonade and feeling underpaid at work further emphasizes the theme of dissatisfaction and feeling trapped in a cycle of striving for more.
Overall, the song seems to explore the longing for simplicity and contentment in a society that values material gain and external validation.
