A computer au palais
Finn. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I break words, beat swords, introduce the sin
Fatigue, I'm sick, tired, reversible
My toxic tongue, a feather in his cap
He wears a thong
I′ll take you in tow
My little Prozac
I wanna fall down
No, I wanna break down
My little Prozac
Computers au palais won't mean a thing
I break words, beat swords, introduce the sin
Fatigue, I′m sick, tired, reversible
My toxic tongue, a feather in his cap
He wears a thong
Fatigue, I′m sick, tired, reversible
My toxic tongue, a feather in his cap
He wears a thong
The lyrics to Finn.'s song A computer au palais are abstract and open to interpretation. The phrase "Computers au palais won't mean a thing" could mean that technology has no place in our world, or that it is insignificant compared to human relationships and emotions. The line "I break words, beat swords, introduce the sin" could mean that the singer is a powerful wordsmith, who can defeat his enemies with words instead of physical violence. The phrase "introduce the sin" could mean that the singer is not afraid to break the rules or push boundaries.
The next few lines express exhaustion and sickness, with the singer's "toxic tongue" and the imagery of a thong-wearing person who is both ridiculous and possibly dangerous. The lines "I'll take you in tow, I wanna sail mo', My little Prozac" could mean that the singer is offering comfort to someone who is suffering, but is also struggling with their own mental health issues. The last two lines repeat the refrain and emphasize the exhaustion and sickness of the singer.
In general, the song seems to be about the complicated nature of human relationships, the importance of emotions and connections, and the struggle to maintain mental health in a complex and busy world.
