The lyric "If you put Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls in your oven at the start of this album, they're burning" in Hard 'n Phirm's song "Wasted" is a metaphor for the length and intensity of the album in question. The line suggests that the time it takes to bake Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls (about 15 minutes) is roughly equivalent to the length of the album- meaning that by the end of it, the cinnamon rolls would be completely burnt. The use of this metaphor indicates that the album is a long, intense, and immersive listening experience that requires full attention from the listener.
Additionally, the metaphor also suggests that the album is so captivating that the listener might forget about the cinnamon rolls and leave them in the oven for too long. This further emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of the music and the idea that the listener is completely absorbed in the experience.
Overall, the lyric "If you put Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls in your oven at the start of this album, they’re burning" serves as a creative and impactful way to convey the length and intensity of the album while also highlighting its immersive and captivating nature.
