The Stand
Mother Mother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ayy, ayy
Tell me your weakness
Oh, I keep it a secret
Oh, come on, just one vice
Okay, it's vodka on ice
But then there's women on bikes (oh?)
Oh, now you are a handful
I forgot about handfuls
Tell me your fears
Okay, it's everyone here
You mean, just all of the people?
Yeah, and all of their peers
And all of their pets
And their chandeliers
And their cigarettes
I haven't smoked in years
I can hardly stand the sight (of it all)
I can hardly stand the sound (of it all)
I can hardly stand the taste (of it all)
I can hardly stand the smell (of it all)
Talk about space
Well, it's a beautiful place
But it's so damn cold
Sure, for the human race
But for the planets and the stars
And everything else, and Mars
It's like paradise
Spread out with a butter knife
I can hardly stand the sight (of it all)
I can hardly stand the sound (of it all)
I can hardly stand the taste (of it all)
I can hardly stand the smell of it all
I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all
I can hardly stand
I can hardly stand
Everyone's f-d and they don't even know
Everyone's f-d and they don't even know
Everyone's f-d
Everyone's f-d
Everyone's f-d
Everyone's f-d and they don't even know
Everyone's f-d and they don't even know
They don't even know
They don't even know
I can hardly stand the sight of it all
I can hardly stand the sound of it all
I can hardly stand the taste of it all
I can hardly stand the smell of it all
I can hardly stand
I can hardly stand
Everyone's f-d and they don't even know
Everyone's fucked and they don't even know, hahahaha
The song "The Stand" by Mother Mother is a reflection on the flaws and fears of humanity.

Please share at least one guilty pleasure with me
Okay, it's vodka on ice
My guilty pleasure is drinking vodka with ice
But then there's women on bikes (oh?)
There are other things that I find attractive or enjoyable
Or just the women who straddle
I am attracted to women who ride motorcycles

You are full of surprises or challenges

Do you mean every individual that is present?
Yeah, and all of their peers
I also fear their social connections and influence
And all of their pets
I even fear their animals or belongings
And their chandeliers
I am afraid of things that should not be dangerous or threatening
And their cigarettes
I am even afraid of their smoking habits
I haven't smoked in years
I do not indulge in smoking anymore
Talk about space
Let's discuss the topic of outer space
Well, it's a beautiful place
Outer space is a beautiful and fascinating thing to me
But it's so damn cold
But at the same time it is harsh and inhospitable
Sure, for the human race
It might be suitable for human exploration or expansion
But for the planets and the stars
But for the celestial objects it is a hostile environment
And everything else, and Mars
Including Mars which is currently the subject of human exploration
It's like paradise
Compared to Earth, it can be seen as a paradise
Spread out with a butter knife
It is vast and expansive, with endless possibilities
Everyone's f-d and they don't even know
Everybody is messed up or in trouble but they are not aware of it
hahahaha
