what's in the toaster
Lemon Demon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't know if it's bread or toast.

You can see it but it's bathed in Ambiguous Red Light.

At what point does bread become toast?

Should you hit the lever? It's been a while.
No, in the end, you just have to trust the machine.





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lemon Demon's song, "What's in the Toaster," revolve around the sense of uncertainty and doubt over the process of toasting bread. The song debunks the clarity of the toasting process as it is bathed in ambiguous red light, and the singer is unable to differentiate between bread and toast. The lines "At what point does bread become toast?" highlight the vagueness of toasting and the inability to identify the point at which bread receives its perfectly browned texture.


The song's lyrics also depict the hesitation and doubt that comes with toasting bread, with the line "Should you hit the lever? It's been a while" expressing the fear of toasting bread to the point of burning it. However, the final line of the song, "No, in the end, you just have to trust the machine," represents the acceptance of the uncertainty inherent in the toasting process.


Overall, "What's in the Toaster" presents a metaphoric representation of the doubts and hesitations we reserve for everyday decisions. The song asks us to trust the process and let it run its course, even in the face of uncertainty.

The toaster's transformation of bread into toast is a gradual process, and it's unclear when exactly it reaches the endpoint.


Should you hit the lever? It's been a while.

Combine this with Jack Stauber's Bread and you have a whole heap of existential questioning to do.
