The Chosen
King Missile Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(spoken)
There is almost nothing worse in the world than to have a brief glimpse of clarity, of the Absolute, of All and Everything and to realize that that is as close as you will ever get, because you have not been chosen.

It is even worse to realize that you were chosen and that you failed to meet the challenge; to realize only too late that you had a chance to truly make a difference in this world and you rejected the offer, either out of fear, or disinterest, or lack of belief in your destiny.

You could've been a savior, a messiah, even – and in this age that would have meant magazine covers, television appearances, movie deals, book deals, women, men, dolphins, whatever you like. And that reminds me of something I've been thinking about. You know how they have bestiality? Is there like a thing like a fetish for fucking seafood? Like trying to see how many octopus legs you could take up your ass at one time? Or electric eels? Or like fucking a whale in the blowhole? Or like trying to get a dolphin to blow you? Dolphins are very smart; they could learn how to give blowjobs. You could get a blowjob or at least a flipperjob from a – well, maybe not you, but maybe, like, you gotta figure someone out there somewhere has gotten a blowjob from a dolphin. Maybe like a Dr. Dolittle type who could talk to the animals, learn their languages, and teach the dolphins how to please him. Or her, maybe, I don't know.

And I figure those S&M folks are really missing out if they've never used lobsters for nipple clamps. There's all this possibility out there, and it's gotta make you wonder, what's wrong with you? That time that God spoke to you and showed you the way, clear as day, and you were like "No way; too much work; I'm busy; I'm too tired; I don't even believe in you anyway; what's in it for me? Well, you fucked up, didn't you? You sell your soul to the devil, you get like four dollars, but if you had come when God called, you would have gotten whatever you want – a nose job, a 50-inch TV set, a waterbed filled with Calista Flockhart's urine, whatever you want. But you said no to God, and now you'll never get to go out with Christina Ricci. You'll never get a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car that can float and fly. You'll never get to visit Mars, or the future, or Marrakesh. But you never know: many are called, but few are chosen, but some are chosen more than once. You might get another chance. There is always hope.




Overall Meaning

The Chosen by King Missile is a reflective and somewhat humorous commentary on the notion of being chosen by a higher power and the consequences of either accepting or rejecting that calling. The spoken introduction sets the stage for the song's theme of missed opportunity and regret. The singer laments the idea of having a moment of clarity or revelation only to realize that they were not chosen for greatness. The song suggests that those who are chosen have the opportunity to become a savior or messiah and reap fame, fortune, and pleasure, but the singer questions the value of such rewards. The lyrics suggest that true fulfillment may only come from accepting one's destiny and fulfilling it for its own sake.


The song takes a surprising turn as the singer goes on a tangent about bestiality and S&M practices, expressing the idea that there are limitless possibilities when it comes to pleasure and self-gratification. This seemingly random aside serves as a reminder of the temptation and distraction that can steer someone away from their calling. It emphasizes the idea that if someone is not careful, their desires and impulses can overshadow their true purpose and prevent them from reaching their potential.


Line by Line Meaning

There is almost nothing worse in the world than to have a brief glimpse of clarity, of the Absolute, of All and Everything and to realize that that is as close as you will ever get, because you have not been chosen.
Realizing that you will never fully understand the universe and all its complexities because you lack the chosen one's insight and knowledge is a frustrating and disappointing experience.


It is even worse to realize that you were chosen and that you failed to meet the challenge; to realize only too late that you had a chance to truly make a difference in this world and you rejected the offer, either out of fear, or disinterest, or lack of belief in your destiny.
If you were chosen but failed to seize the opportunity to become a game-changer in the world due to your fears, lack of interest, or disbelief in your destiny, it's a regretful and painful experience.


You could've been a savior, a messiah, even – and in this age that would have meant magazine covers, television appearances, movie deals, book deals, women, men, dolphins, whatever you like.
Had you taken God's calling seriously and acted as a savior or a messiah, you would have achieved fame, wealth, and relationships with whoever you wanted even in today's society.


And that reminds me of something I've been thinking about. You know how they have bestiality? Is there like a thing like a fetish for fucking seafood? Like trying to see how many octopus legs you could take up your ass at one time? Or electric eels? Or like fucking a whale in the blowhole? Or like trying to get a dolphin to blow you? Dolphins are very smart; they could learn how to give blowjobs. You could get a blowjob or at least a flipperjob from a – well, maybe not you, but maybe, like, you gotta figure someone out there somewhere has gotten a blowjob from a dolphin. Maybe like a Dr. Dolittle type who could talk to the animals, learn their languages, and teach the dolphins how to please him. Or her, maybe, I don't know.
The artist digresses heavily from the topic, pondering aloud about whether people have developed a sexual obsession for seafood animals like octopus legs, electric eels, or even dolphins capable of learning blowjobs from a person who has mastered animal language, as the artist suggests.


And I figure those S&M folks are really missing out if they've never used lobsters for nipple clamps. There's all this possibility out there, and it's gotta make you wonder, what's wrong with you?
The artist continues to digress, suggesting that those involved in Sadomasochism are neglecting a potential elaborate fetish of using lobsters as nipple clamps to explore the abundance of possibilities life has on offer.


That time that God spoke to you and showed you the way, clear as day, and you were like "No way; too much work; I'm busy; I'm too tired; I don't even believe in you anyway; what's in it for me? Well, you fucked up, didn't you?
If you failed to heed the clear and direct message from God while citing excuses as reasons for not responding, then you missed out on a virtuous opportunity that can lead to regret. If you're trying to blame others for your decisions you made, then it's your own poor choice that has led you to this outcome.


You sell your soul to the devil, you get like four dollars, but if you had come when God called, you would have gotten whatever you want – a nose job, a 50-inch TV set, a waterbed filled with Calista Flockhart's urine, whatever you want.
It's laughable to think that when you sell your soul to the devil, you'll obtain trivial amounts of money but if you've come to God when he called upon you; you'd achieve anything you desire/want regardless of how bizarre, niche, or outlandish it may seem.


But you said no to God, and now you'll never get to go out with Christina Ricci. You'll never get a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car that can float and fly. You'll never get to visit Mars, or the future, or Marrakesh.
By not heeding God's call, you'll miss out on many things in life, such as going on a date with Christina Ricci, owning a car flying capability, exploring out-of-this-world sights like Mars, fulfilling your futuristic dreams, or enjoying the beauty of Marrakesh.


But you never know: many are called, but few are chosen, but some are chosen more than once. You might get another chance. There is always hope.
However, all hope is not lost as some people are selected more than once. You might have another opportunity to heed God's call and change the world; thus, you have nothing to lose as there is always hope.
