Flat Eric later appeared in the music video for "Flat Beat".

Mr. Oizo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I soak it up in the spot
Your man's strong
But he ain't touching whether we fighting or not
I'm the great opposition
Send your boys to morticians
Give em a face lift to give their lips a happier vision
I'm on a mission
To strip the morals from you your kids and your wife
You can hear me walking or riding a bike
Have you heard about our lord and savior Jesus Christ
It's the end of days
Apocalypse
Second coming
Y two K
Twenty twelve
Twenty twenty
It'll be here someday
You just wait it'll be something
You better pray
Pull out your wallets and give me your money
That's called a fast one
Strike fear for the cash run
Might as well have a damn gun
Using Jesus as your ransom
God damn son I'm shocking myself with this shit
Maybe I should buy a church to get a break on my taxes
My flow dont mold to the masses
The masses flow to the mold of a casket
My flow go through molds of led and plastic
Battery acid
Basket being passed in the masses
Mass is being taught in the classes
Classes being taught by the fascist
Fascists holding kids eyelashes
Damn
Think about it a minute
Do you understand the words that I speak when I spit it
I know it sounds so absurd when you heard that they did it
Because you understand the verb when the nouns not in it
Show you the light you can quote it from me
When your own is doing wrong you're turning the other cheek
Is it right
From what I see
You could never do wrong if your part of the family
You talking crazy you cant believe conspiracy
You cant believe all the thing that you see on TV
You cant believe all you read on social media streams
Why does it seem like everybody is lying to me
Maybe it's not
Maybe it's just a plot to separate us from our thoughts
Each other and our moral navigator on a flop
Whenever somebody try to debate us
We have got to realize that we are living how they make us
Land of the free
Home of the lies
The best American dream
That money can buy
If you afford the fee
We got the supply
But if you dont give me the money then your dreams will die
In Mr. Oizo's song "W," the lyrics convey a sense of rebellion and skepticism towards societal institutions. The opening lines, "I'm all up in this bitch like a tampon, I soak it up in the spot, Your man's strong, But he ain't touching whether we fighting or not," suggest that the singer is asserting their dominance and refusing to be controlled or influenced by others. They present themselves as the opposition, willing to challenge authority and strip away traditional morals.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of religious manipulation and exploitation. The mention of Jesus Christ and the end of days signifies a critique of those who use religion to manipulate and deceive people for personal gain. The line, "Using Jesus as your ransom, God damn son I'm shocking myself with this shit, Maybe I should buy a church to get a break on my taxes," emphasizes the cynicism towards religious hypocrisy and suggests that even the singer is shocked by the audacity of such manipulations.
Throughout the song, there is a call to question the information presented to us, whether through media or social platforms. The lyrics suggest that we should be skeptical of what we see and hear, as there may be hidden agendas and lies designed to separate us and control our thoughts. The line, "Why does it seem like everybody is lying to me," captures this sense of mistrust and the desire to break free from the influence of external forces.
Overall, "W" explores themes of rebellion, skepticism, and the desire for freedom from societal norms and manipulations.
