Untitled 1
Keiji Haino & K.K. Null Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I see stuff, I take!
Please do not mind me now
Yes I will grab this plow, and throw it in the lake!
You may not know my name
And that is fine by me
Just let me live my life
Don't try and stop me, you'll be wasting all your time
You know I'll be here, when you get back in your line
Don't be hatin' on me if you only could see
I have a really good excuse: I am a goose!
Some call me horrible
But I was born this way
I wanna live my life
And grab your kitchen knife, then I'll be on my way!
Don't try and stop me, you'll be wasting all your time
You know I'll be here, when you get back in your line
Don't be hatin' on me if you only could see
I have a really good excuse
Come to my picnic, I'll share all my things with you
Time to relax on this blissful afternoon
Don't be hatin' on me if you only could see
I have a really good excuse: I am a goose!
I am a goose!
Just let me live my life and live it well
I wanna honk my beak and ring this bell
So the children of tomorrow always know what has been lost
By the people of this village, they can see the price it cost
They'll see their destiny is something they can choose
And they have learned this lesson from a goose
So let them live their lives, and live them well
Just let them honk their beaks and ring their bells
They are the children of tomorrow and they know what has been lost
By you people of this village, they can see the price it cost
So let them live their lives, and live them well
Just let them honk their beaks and ring their bells
They are the children of tomorrow and they know what has been lost
By you people of this village, they can see the price it cost
Don't try and stop me - you'll be wasting all your time
You know I'll be here when you get back in your line
Don't be hatin' on me if you only could see
I have a really good excuse: I am a goose!
It is difficult to interpret the lyrics to Keiji Haino & K.K. Null's song "Untitled 1" in a conventional sense as the lyrics appear to be nonsensical and whimsical in nature. The lyrics are narrated from the perspective of a goose who unapologetically takes objects, such as a plow or a kitchen knife, and throws them in the lake, asserting its desire to live its life as it sees fit. The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphorical critique of societal norms and the conformity they breed. The goose represents the non-conforming individual who refuses to adhere to societal expectations and lives life on their own terms.
The chorus, "Don't try and stop me, you'll be wasting all your time / You know I'll be here, when you get back in your line / Don't be hatin' on me if you only could see / I have a really good excuse: I am a goose!" further reinforces this interpretation, as the singer asserts their right to live their life without being judged or controlled by others. The final verse shifts the focus to the "children of tomorrow," who have learned a valuable lesson from the goose about the importance of individuality and living life in a way that is true to oneself.
