Destructo!
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anybody there, anyone but me?
Titans on the run, haunted candle shop.
Embrionoclast, fifty mile drop.
On the telephone, dialing, dialing.
At the carnival, smiling, smiling.
No complexities other than that, my friend.
Destructo!
Hammer to the nail, orca to the sea.
Anybody there, anyone but me?
Titans on the run, haunted candle shop.
Embrionoclast, fifty mile drop.
On the telephone, dialing, dialing.
At the carnival, smiling, smiling.
No complexities other than that, my friend.
No new entities that I can't comprehend.
On the telephone, dialing, dialing.
At the carnival, smiling, smiling.
No complexities other than that, my friend.
No new entities that I can't comprehend.
On the telephone, dialing, dialing.
At the carnival, smiling, smiling.
No complexities other than that, my friend.
No new entities that I can't comprehend.
Ohhh? Ohhh!
Destructo! (Destucto-oh!)
Destructo! (Destucto-oh!)
Destructo! (Destucto-oh!)
Destructo! (Destucto-oh!)
Destructo!
The song "Destructo!" by Lemon Demon appears to be a stream of consciousness type of lyrics, filled with seemingly random elements thrown together in a surrealistic manner. The opening lines of "hammer to the nail, orca to the sea" sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer seems to be musing on the various forces and elements at play in the world, seemingly questioning their existence and purpose. The lines "anybody there, anyone but me?" also suggest a feeling of isolation and loneliness, perhaps implying that the singer is struggling to find any meaning or connection in the world around him.
The rest of the song continues in this vein, with strange phrases like "embrionoclast, fifty-mile drop" and "haunted candle shop" adding to the overall sense of confusion and disorientation. The repeated lines of "on the telephone, dialing, dialing" and "at the carnival, smiling, smiling" suggest a sense of routine and monotony, with the singer finding solace in the familiarity of these mundane activities despite the chaos and confusion of the world around him. The final refrain of "Destructo!" serves to emphasize the sense of destruction and chaos that permeates the song, leaving the listener with a feeling of unease and uncertainty.

I like to imagine this song is about Neil and a lemon demon going to cause mischief at some kind of carnival or festival or something like that
