23rd Chromosome
Honeydogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He found a bit unsettling
When the movie rights were sold
He gave it all to charity
He hosts a gold diggers ball
He was there a shotgun blast
Knocked him off his pedestal
Common test tube kids
Don't forget your meds
Get set for party cocktails
A billion light years away
A place to rest my bones
They've found evil's home
23rd chromosome
Murder, famine, love and hate
The side effects of fate
He finally hit rock bottom
But he was still clawing for the abyss
There'll be no more goosesteps where we're going
Only sex and violins
Singing bottle hymns
Amputees find limbs
Get set for party cocktails
A billion light years away
A place to rest my bones
(The seeds are sown)
They've found evil's home
23rd chromosome
Murder, famine, love and hate
The side effects of fate
Ba ba ba bam…
We've finally said goodbye
To the graveyard of by-rown memories
We've entered a new age
Of organ found deliveries
Kingsey found a home
For the terminal umbilicals
Ms. Anne Thrope gathers in her arms all the disfigured and unloved
Gazing at the stars
Jupiter and Mars
Get set for party cocktails
A billion light years away
A place to rest my bones
(The seeds are sown)
They've found evil's home
23rd chromosome
Murder, famine, love and hate
The side effects of fate
The song "23rd Chromosome" by Honeydogs is a complex and thought-provoking piece that delves into themes of fame, fate, and the human condition. The first verse describes a hero who finds the fame and attention he receives from his heroic actions unsettling. When the movie rights are sold, he gives all the money to charity, but is still haunted by the shotgun blast that knocks him off his pedestal. The second verse suggests that common test tube kids shouldn't forget their medications, and then shifts to a party a billion light years away, which serves as a place to rest one's bones.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "they've found evil's home, 23rd chromosome," which suggests that evil is not something outside of us, but rather a part of our genetic makeup. The side effects of fate, which include murder, famine, love, and hate, are all part of the human condition. The song implies that we cannot escape our fate, but we can change how we respond to it. The final verse describes a new age of organ found deliveries, where people with disfigured or unloved conditions are cared for by Ms. Anne Thrope. The song ends with a gaze at the stars and a repetition of the chorus, suggesting that while we cannot escape our fate, we can still find hope in the world beyond.

He finally hit rock bottom
Hitting the lowest point in life
But he was still clawing for the abyss
He was still trying to find his way out of a dark place
There'll be no more goosesteps where we're going
Moving towards a better future without oppression
Only sex and violins
Exploring love and the beauty of music
Singing bottle hymns
Singing drunkenly
Amputees find limbs
Finding happiness in spite of disabilities
(The seeds are sown)
The start of something new
We've finally said goodbye
Moving on from past memories
To the graveyard of by-rown memories
The burial ground of old memories
We've entered a new age
In a new era
Of organ found deliveries
Transplanting organs to save lives
Kingsey found a home
A reference to a person or place offering refuge
For the terminal umbilicals
A place of hope for the dying
Ms. Anne Thrope gathers in her arms all the disfigured and unloved
A mother figure embracing and nurturing the broken
Gazing at the stars
Looking up at the vast sky
Jupiter and Mars
Planets in the solar system
(The seeds are sown)
The start of something new
They've found evil's home
Recognizing where negativity resides
23rd chromosome
A reference to genetics
Murder, famine, love and hate
The good and the bad of the human experience
The side effects of fate
The consequences of our actions
