Absurd
Fluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
king kong, in cannes, on a date with spiderman
dan dare's sitting there, scared by the killer teddy bears
downtown, mini mouse is slippin' mickys in the famous grouse
while big bird spreads the word
anybody with a heart votes love
judge dredd, found dead, face down in snoopy's bed
outside, tweetie pie's getting itchy on more supplies
meanwhile, snow white getting ready for work tonight
turning tricks with crystal tips
trying to make the best of its absurd
puppy dogs and pussy cats in suspect suicide attacks
captain kirk from planet earth, fights it out with papa smurf
some phony little ponies, preying on the old and lonely
making friends, robbing them, the x men taught them everything
betty boop, tired of life, took vows, became a bride of christ
while tin tin's been playing him at caesars palace live on ice
babar kumbayahs with the mighty morphin' movie stars
as big bird spreads the word
anybody with a heart votes love
The lyrics to Fluke's Absurd paint a vivid picture of a world gone mad, where iconic characters from popular culture are engaged in strange and often sinister activities. The song seems to be a commentary on the absurdity of modern society, and the ways in which we have lost touch with our humanity.
The first verse describes a scene in which King Kong is on a date with Spiderman in Cannes, while Dan Dare is frightened by killer teddy bears. Mini Mouse is drugging people with Mickey's, while Big Bird spreads a message of love. This verse seems to suggest a world in which everything is confused and jumbled up, where even the most innocent characters are caught up in shady activities.
The second verse is equally surreal, with Judge Dredd found dead in Snoopy's bed, Tweety Pie craving more supplies, and Snow White turning tricks to survive. The verse also references puppy dogs and pussy cats in suspect suicide attacks, Captain Kirk fighting it out with Papa Smurf, and Betty Boop becoming a bride of Christ. Again, the verse seems to be a commentary on the ways in which we have lost our sense of humanity, and how the things we once cherished are now twisted and meaningless.
Overall, Absurd is a darkly humorous and thought-provoking song that reflects on the ways in which we have become disconnected from our values and our sense of self. The surreal imagery and bizarre scenarios in the lyrics serve to highlight the absurdity of modern life, and the need for us to reconnect with the things that really matter.
