Kannibaalin bakkanaali
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Puupäistä turistia syötiin koko viime yö
Tauno palo padassa ja Edvin lainehti
Inga suli mössöksi mut Arja sitkeesti korisi
Pahaa-aavistamaton turistibussi
Se koko lihalasti, ansaan porhaltaa
Kannibaalit ryntää orgialle, veri lentää korkialle
Tehdään oppaasta makkaraa
Aamusella jämät nuotiolla paistetaan
Harrin maksa ja kankku grillataan
Butulaki huutaa, kirkuu, lujaa kiroaa
Kurkkuun tarttui kynsi, tuska raastaa
Pahaa-aavistamaton turistibussi
Se koko lihalasti, ansaan porhaltaa
Kannibaalit ryntää orgialle, veri lentää korkialle
Tehdään oppaasta makkaraa
Pahaa-aavistamaton turistibussi
Se koko lihalasti, ansaan porhaltaa
Kannibaalit ryntää orgialle, veri lentää korkialle
Tehdään oppaasta makkaraa
The lyrics to Klamydia's song "Kannibaalin bakkanaali" (Cannibal's Bacchanal) depict a gruesome scene of cannibalism. The first set of lyrics describe the awakening of a cannibal, who proceeds to turn on a device used to boil amniotic fluid from unborn babies. The next line reveals that the cannibal and their group had just spent the previous night consuming a wooden-headed tourist. The lyrics go on to list the others who were eaten as well. The next verse describes the cooking and grilling of various body parts as the cannibals revel in their savage act. The chorus repeats the description of the tourist bus, fully loaded with human flesh, falling into the trap set by the cannibals who then proceed to drink, feast and indulge in a bacchanalia of blood and gore.
The song is a powerful commentary on the depravity of humans and can be interpreted as a critique on the entertainment industry where, oftentimes, people are reduced to mere objects for consumption. The cannibals in the song are depicted as primitive beings who have devolved to a state of no mercy, completely devoid of humanity.
