Secret Asian Man
God Ate My Homework Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a man who lives life in seclusion
Master of his world of illusion
Fighting his good fight
This electronic knight
Who knows what his name'll be tomorrow

Secret Asian Man, Secret Asian Man
He's got an IP number, and an IRC nickname

If it's on the net it's on his hard drive
He's got more gigs than the Jackson Five
His Aunties play Mah-Jongg
While he downloads from Hong Kong
Where today it's already tomorrow

[chorus]

[musical interlude]

Sharing too much information one day
Getting raided by The Man the next day
Now, I know you don't like
Your new roommate named Spike
But odds are that you'll get paroled tomorrow.

[chorus]





[gong]

Overall Meaning

The song "Secret Asian Man" by God Ate My Homework tells the story of a man who lives in seclusion and is a master of his own world of illusion. This man is portrayed as being an "electronic knight" who fights his own battles, which are unknown to the rest of the world. The lyrics describe him as being a "Secret Asian Man," who has an IP number and an IRC nickname, indicating that he is well-versed in technology and uses it to his advantage. The fact that he has an IP number and an IRC nickname also suggests that he is part of an online community and relies on the virtual world for his socialization.


The song further goes on to describe this man's obsession with technology, as he has more gigs than the Jackson Five, and downloads from Hong Kong, where today is already tomorrow. The line "If it's on the net it's on his hard drive" suggests that he has a strong connection to the internet and spends a lot of time online. However, this obsession with technology also poses a risk, as he runs the risk of sharing too much information and getting raided by the authorities.


Overall, the song highlights the theme of isolation and obsession with technology, while also pointing out the potential dangers of being too reliant on the internet and technology.

A voz da protagonista é de adolescente e ela é madura demais para o papel de filha, a mãe é mais bonita por sinal e atua bem.

Мама главной героини очень красива и играет замечательно,к стати, все актеры старшего возраста играют превосходно.мне нравится смотреть эти мини дорамы,но почему то пощечины раздают все как отрицательные,так и положительные герои.а мужчины, вообще,особенно бывшие мужья насилуют б.жен не спрашивая хочет она этого или нет и после этого жена общается с ним как будто не было насилия. Пьют все и очень много,но нравится как муж бережно ухаживает за пьяной женой(девушкой).это наблюдается в большинстве мини дорам,сюжет меняется изредка и незначительно.
