Deep Cover
Gargantua Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wasn't with it, so get back, forget it
Operator please, the lines been cut
Hold please, lights out
Cold sets in, what's up?
Surrounded, confounded by the false face brigade
Political, cynical, revolution renegade
Riddle me this-What's orange and blue?
The heart beats true
It's G and over head the monkeys hover
Wicked witch, the bitch in a ditch
I'm Deep Cover!
I aint confined by my body and mind
I'm in a heap of trouble
Slipknot, my fatal vision,
Red button flashes, executive decision
Revision of the red, white, and blue stinks like glue
Foggy eyes, hypnotized and untrue
New, underneath lies the source
Eye's don't know, that I got the force
Crucial, conniving, brain scuba-diving
Demon seed feed gremlins Franchising,
Disguising myself as Cipher's lover,
Broken bottle in the neck Darth
I'm Deep Cover!
I aint confined by my body and mind
Smack down, when I lay the track down,
The ill shit
In a frenzy is how it's writ
Bit by the bug
Dragged through the streets
Tired of the riga morale, scooping up the beats
Operator, you could keep the dime,Talk is cheap
I'm psychic, so just act like you're down
Those who know,
We just know about each other
Keep your friends close,
But you closer
We're Deep Cover!
The lyrics to Gargantua Soul's song "Deep Cover" are complex and multi-layered, expressing a sense of danger, conspiracy, and revolution. The opening lines set the tone, as the singer addresses someone who has accused him of hypocrisy. He tells this person to "get back, forget it," and then proceeds to dial an operator, only to find that the phone lines have been cut. The song becomes increasingly cryptic as it progresses, with references to a "false face brigade," a "political . . . revolution renegade," and a "wicked witch" who is "in a ditch."
The chorus declares, "I'm deep cover," suggesting that the singer is operating undercover, hiding his true intentions and loyalties from others. He goes on to say that he is "not confined by my body and mind," suggesting that he is somehow transcending his own physical limitations in order to achieve his goals. The second verse continues this theme, with references to a "fatal vision," an "executive decision," and a revision of the "red, white, and blue" that "stinks like glue." The singer seems to be suggesting that the world is in a state of crisis, and that he is one of the few people who can see through the illusions and deceptions that are obscuring the truth.
Overall, "Deep Cover" is a dense and challenging song that rewards close listening and interpretation. It touches on themes of identity, power, and deception, and it portrays the world as a dangerous and unpredictable place where it is hard to know who to trust. The lyrics are supported by a hypnotic, insistent beat and a haunting melody that combine to create a mood of tension and urgency.
Line by Line Meaning
You said I was a hypocrite, but you didn't get it
You accused me of being two-faced, but you failed to truly understand my intentions
You wasn't with it, so get back, forget it
Since you weren't part of my plan, leave it alone and move on
Operator please, the lines been cut
Please connect me to another line, because this one has been disconnected
Hold please, lights out
Please wait a moment, it's gone quiet
Cold sets in, what's up?
I'm starting to feel uneasy, what's happening?
Surrounded, confounded by the false face brigade
I'm trapped and confused by the group of people pretending to be something they're not
Political, cynical, revolution renegade
I'm a politically-aware, skeptical rebel who wants change
Riddle me this-What's orange and blue?
Can you solve this puzzle - what is a combination of orange and blue?
But underneath the surface
However, hidden underneath
The heart beats true
I am sincere and passionate about my beliefs
It's G and over head the monkeys hover
I am Gargantua Soul and the critics are hovering above me like monkeys
Wicked witch, the bitch in a ditch
I am capable of defeating evil and deceptive people
I'm Deep Cover!
I am in disguise to hide my true intentions
I aint confined by my body and mind
I am not limited by my physical and mental boundaries
I'm in a heap of trouble
I am in a difficult situation
Slipknot, my fatal vision,
My clear but deadly vision
Red button flashes, executive decision
In a critical moment, I must make an important move
Revision of the red, white, and blue stinks like glue
The alteration of my country's flag colors reflects a bad change
Foggy eyes, hypnotized and untrue
I can't clearly see things and I'm under the spell of lies
New, underneath lies the source
Beneath the surface is the origin or reason
Eye's don't know, that I got the force
People are unaware that I have the strength and power
Crucial, conniving, brain scuba-diving
I'm sharp, deceitful, and mentally diving deep
Demon seed feed gremlins Franchising,
My dark thoughts feed the enemies who are copying and profiting from them
Disguising myself as Cipher's lover,
I'm pretending to be in love with Cipher to cover up my true purpose
Broken bottle in the neck Darth
I am causing harm, as Darth Vader would do
Smack down, when I lay the track down,
I produce high-quality music when I start recording
The ill shit
The cool and impressive stuff
In a frenzy is how it's writ
I wrote it passionately and energetically
Bit by the bug
I am addicted and influenced by something
Dragged through the streets
I am being publicly shamed and humiliated
Tired of the riga morale, scooping up the beats
I am bored with conventional ideas and I'm creating new music
Operator, you could keep the dime,Talk is cheap
You can keep the money for this call, what matters is action
I'm psychic, so just act like you're down
I can anticipate your thoughts and behavior, so pretend to agree with me
Those who know,
People who truly understand
We just know about each other
We understand each other's motives and intentions
Keep your friends close,
Stay close to people who support and understand you
But you closer
Stay even closer to people who pretend to be your friend
We're Deep Cover!
We are undercover to protect our true intentions
