Time Cube
Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stupid and evil men call me crazy
Man is the only evil animal
Man is the only word animal
Word equates instituted evil
Word adultism is anti-child
A word god can be erased
Word brings a Babel curse
Get ready for armageddon
You've been educated stupid and are too dumb to know it
Or maybe just to evil to care
Ignorance of the timecube is a curse upon humanity
Minds must see a timecube that eyes cannot comprehend
Beliefs equate pornography, for they coexist on the web
There is no damn word god
Truth is physical, word a lie
It is what you do not utter
Without deed, word starves
Word god lends not a hand
Word brings an Babel curse
Get ready for armageddon
You are educated stupid and can't compute a timecube
You are unworthy of Earth life
You deserve banishment to a barren planet more fit for your anti-nature lifestyle
I am wiser than all gods and scientists, for I have created
Four simultaneous worlds with four simultaneous days within a single rotation of Earth
And have created four simultaneous years in a single orbit of the Earth around the sun
And I have created four-corner stages of human metamorphosis
You've been educated stupid and are too dumb to know it
Or maybe are too evil to care
Ignorance of the timecube is a curse upon humanity
Minds must see a timecube that eyes cannot comprehend
Minds must see a timecube that eyes cannot comprehend
The song "Time Cube" by Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives is a bizarre and thought-provoking exploration of human perception and belief systems. The lyrics are a mix of philosophical musings, conspiracy theories, and aggressive admonishments towards those who refuse to accept the supposed reality of the "timecube". The singer declares himself a genius, but also acknowledges the persistent labeling of him as crazy by those who do not understand his ideas. He argues that human beings are the only animal capable of evil and that our use of language (words) is responsible for the spread of institutionalized evil in our society. He also believes that the concept of God can be erased by words and that language is responsible for the Babel curse, which divided humanity in the biblical story.
The singer urges listeners to prepare for Armageddon, as those who are "educated stupid" (meaning, those who have a traditional education but are not open to alternative perspectives) are too dumb or too evil to care about the truth of the timecube. He equates beliefs with pornography, as both exist on the web and are false representations of reality. He argues that truth is physical and that words are a lie, and that without action, words are meaningless. He claims to have created four simultaneous worlds and four simultaneous days within a single rotation of the Earth, and to have created four-corner stages of human metamorphosis. Essentially, the song is an exploration of what the singer believes to be a deeper reality beyond what most people are capable of perceiving, and a condemnation of those who refuse to even consider that perspective.
