Inane
KMFDM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn it around
Give the meaning a twist
Spit it back out
Impulsive
Corrosive
Enticing
Confusing
Elusive
Provoking and amusing
Everything else is completely inane,
Profoundly profane and it drives me insane!
KMFDM, what do you know?
Don't blow your top now, here we go.
KMFDM, what's the deal?
You're so naive come on, get real!
Mangled and ground decomposed and destroyed,
Whatever was found, we invented the sound.
Prepared to order, cooked to perfection,
According to taste, no dissatisfaction.
Everything else is completely inane,
Profoundly profane and it drives me insane!
KMFDM for what your money can buy,
Leave your angst behind and fly sky high!
KMFDM, make your choice,
Celebrate chaos get into the noise!
KMFDM, nihilistic and free
U.A.I.O.E. for you and me.
Help us, save us, take us away,
KMFDM, make my day!
"German engineering, astounding ingenuity,
Over a decade of conceptual continuity."
KMFDM, a constant intrusion.
It poisons your blood - you need an infusion!
KMFDM, What's the story,
Sex on the flag, spit and glory
KMFDM can't suck hard enough
Have a little more, you just love that stuff!
KMFDM!
KMFDM!
KMFDM!
KMFDM, make your choice,
celebrate chaos, get into the noise!
Everything else is completely inane,
Profoundly profane, and it drives me insane!
The lyrics of the song Inane by KMFDM highlight the nature of people to take something, mangle and twist it, and then return it with a twist. The lyrics state to "chew it all up, turn it around, give the meaning a twist, spit it back out." The song highlights the impulsive, confusing, and abusive nature of this habit. The words "enticing and amusing" describe the effect of this behavior on the people, who are often provoked by it. However, the bridge of the song, which repeats the phrase "Everything else is completely inane, profoundly profane and it drives me insane!" hints at a level of disdain for this behavior.
The chorus of the song, "KMFDM, what do you know? Don't blow your top now, here we go. KMFDM, what's the deal? You're so naive, come on, get real!" can be interpreted as a direct challenge to the listener to confront their own habit of twisting things around. The lyrics go on to criticize the listener's obsession and focus on meaningless things while promoting KMFDM as an alternative that gives a way out of this meaningless existence. The song emphasizes KMFDM's music as something that is constructed and maintained by the band's efforts and hard work.
