Chain
Melt-Banana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see it
I can feel it
I can point it
It's heading straight to the brain

I don't stop it
I don't reject it
I don't shoot it down
What I see

What I have
What I feel
See, now its so shining in my eys
See, now its so shining in your head

When it fills up the land,
So sweet scape we get called chaos

It's knocking you
It's cracking
It's shouting out
Here's my chain-shot

I can laugh out
I can cry out
I can ask my head
Stinging, cutting beating smashing cells

But you don't see
But you don't care
I just need to set the seed
To blow and then shoot out

Next warhead could be my hatred
Next warhead could be your sorrow
Bet what your head will squeak out
Choose the next one or you'll be dead

It's knocking you
It's cracking
It's shouting out
Here's my chain-shot
My dear chain-shot

Hate to the one
Bait to the next shot
Sad to the one
Laugh to the next shot

Joy to the one
Craze to the next shot





Pick it and dig it and kick it
Keen kids say, "I got a headache bad!"

Overall Meaning

"Melt-Banana's "Chain-Shot to Have Some Fun" is a song that speaks about the endless cycle of emotions and thoughts that keep accumulating in our head. The lyrics highlight a certain moment of realization where we see these thoughts and emotions as they are, and how they affect us. It's like seeing a chain reaction, a "chain-shot" that starts from a single seed and keeps growing and taking over our minds until it fills up our entire being. The lyrics also express how one can either let it take over them or control it and harness it to their advantage.


The lines, "It's knocking you, It's cracking, It's shouting out, Here's my chain-shot," reveal how this chain of thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming, and sometimes when it fills up, it becomes chaos. The line, "Stinging, cutting beating smashing cells," explains how these thoughts and emotions can make us feel. They can sting us like a bee, cut us like a knife, beat us up, and smash our cells until we can take it no more. It's a battle between our thoughts and emotions, and the song suggests that we need to choose which side wins.


Finally, the lines, "Bet what your head will squeak out, Choose the next one or you'll be dead," indicate that we are responsible for our thoughts and emotions. We need to learn to choose which thoughts and emotions we allow to grow and which ones to ignore. The 'warhead' or the next emotion/thought we choose could be our 'hatred' or 'sorrow' or 'joy' or 'craze.' The song emphasizes that it's up to us to control our chain-shot and not let it control us.
