Pazuzu
Grapefruit Sound Lab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Witches fly and black cats cross,
When nothing is what it seems

That's the one to make my own:
I'll force my way to flesh and bone!

There once was a boy
That with all his might
Would count down the days
To one particular night.

That's the one to make my own:
I'll force my way to flesh and bone!

His story started
When he was very young
Watching scary movies
In his house of fun.

Each and every year
From then til now
He awaits the only day
When he can act
Any which way.

On this night when the dead can walk,
When the Devil's minions do his bidding,
When witches fly and black cats cross your path
When nothing is what it seems.
(When nothing is what it seems!)

That's the one to make my own:
I'll force my way to flesh and bone!

My carnival of fear from long ago
Has come to be the world I know!





That's the one to make my own:
I'll force my way to flesh and bone!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grapefruit Sound Lab's song "Pazuzu" portray the excitement and anticipation of Halloween, a special night full of supernatural occurrences, witchcraft, and unexplainable phenomenon. The opening lines, "Witches fly and black cats cross, When nothing is what it seems," set the eerie tone of the song, acknowledging the fact that on this eerie night, anything can happen. The repetition of the line "That's the one to make my own: I'll force my way to flesh and bone!" further emphasizes the desire to be a part of the festivities, to embody the spirit of Halloween, and to make it own's own.


The second verse tells a story about a young boy who was fascinated with scary movies and eagerly awaited Halloween every year just so he could behave in a way that would not be acceptable any other day of the year. The chorus, "On this night when the dead can walk, When the Devil's minions do his bidding, When witches fly and black cats cross your path When nothing is what it seems," is a powerful reminder that Halloween is a night full of mystery and wonder, where one can throw caution to the wind and become whoever they want to be.


The closing lines, "My carnival of fear from long ago Has come to be the world I know! That's the one to make my own: I'll force my way to flesh and bone!" capture the essence of Halloween, which is all about facing one's fears, embracing the unknown, and enjoying the thrill that comes from indulging in the darker side of life. Grapefruit Sound Lab's "Pazuzu" is a beautiful and haunting tribute to one of the most fascinating nights of the year.
