Mozart Khadaffi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lucy doesn't give her opinion
Lucy doesn't see
And Lucy doesn't please anybody but me
Hands in the fire!
Your life is about to expire
I've got a present for you
No one came by today
Your house is beginning to smell
I have no vocation
'Cause nothing ever comes to my mind
And I don't have no message or nothing to offer
I just wanna be on
Disembodied voices in my filth-covered brain
And an outburst of hysteria
You can't tell if she is getting laid or dying
I won't stop till I get caught and ready for press
And all venereal sitcoms and Soap-Oprah diseases
I need validation
From whatever makes me feel I exist
Ain't got nothing to lose or nothing to win
When I'm falling in love
I'm a wild beast in the playroom
I'm the lonely vulture behind the screen
The World is a catchpenny show
Jenny Jones is the truth I know
Sex with you is just like TV
You're a stiff, an entertainer
They'd eat their hearts out in Las Vegas
Just wanna be on
I need validation
From whatever makes me feel I...
And I don't have no message or nothing to offer
I just wanna be...
...on
Just wanna be on my baby
I wanna be on for you
The lyrics of Mozart Khadaffi's song "On" are a commentary on the modern society's obsession with validation, fame, and the need to feel alive. In the opening lines, Lucy is introduced as a character who is passive, devoid of opinions, sight, or the desire to please anyone other than the singer. Lucy represents a metaphorical "deadness" in the world, where people are becoming increasingly desensitized to the world around them. The next few lines are an exclamation of "hands in the fire" that can be interpreted as a warning to people who don't change their ways, their life will soon come to an end.
The lines "Mole on the mind, I've got a present for you" can be seen as a veiled threat or a hint of a malicious intent by the singer. It could signify the singer's anger and frustration at people who refuse to see beyond the superficial or whom he perceives to be fake. The next few lines are an extension of the theme of isolation, where the singer admits to having no vocation or message to offer. The lines "Disembodied voices in my filth-covered brain, And an outburst of hysteria" demonstrate his inner turmoil and confusion.
The lines "Sex with you is just like TV, You're a stiff, an entertainer" are a critique of the society's obsession with sexual gratification and the constant need for entertainment. By comparing sex with TV, the singer suggests that both have become a source of instant gratification and are devoid of any real emotional connection or intimacy. The lines "I need validation, From whatever makes me feel I exist" further reflect the modern society's obsession with validation and the need for external validation to feel alive.
