Keep Moving
O.B.I. Feat. Equinox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mr. Horrible
Telephone call for Mr. Horrible
But before he can talk to the ugliness men
There's some horrible business left
For him to attend to
Something unpleasant has spilled on his brain
As he sponges it off they say
"Is this Horrible?
Is this Horrible?
It's the ugliness men, Mr. Horrible
We're just trying to bug you
We thought that our dreadfulness
Might be a thing to annoy you with"
But Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"
"Would you mind if we balance this glass of milk
Where your visiting friend accidentally was killed?
Would it be okay with you if we wrote a reminder
Of things we'll forget to do today otherwise,
Using a green magic marker, if it's alright
On the back of your head?"
Mr. Horrible
Mr. Horrible
We're not done with you yet Mr. Horrible
You have to try on these pants so the Ugliness Men
Can decide if they're just as embarrassing as we think
We have to be sure about this
But Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"
Someone keeps moving my chair
Mr. Horrible says, "I don't mind
The thing that bothers me is
Someone keeps moving my chair"
The song "Keep Moving" by O.B.I. Feat. Equinox is a quirky and somewhat bizarre piece of music that tells the story of a man named Mr. Horrible who keeps getting interrupted by the "Ugliness Men" while he is trying to answer the telephone. Throughout the song, Horrible is subjected to various forms of unpleasantness, such as having something spill on his brain and being asked to try on embarrassing pants. However, no matter what the Ugliness Men throw his way, Horrible remains unfazed, calmly repeating his mantra: "I don't mind, the thing that bothers me is someone keeps moving my chair."
The meaning behind these lyrics is open to interpretation, but one possible reading is that the song is a commentary on the absurdity of modern life. Horrible's constant interruptions and bizarre requests from the Ugliness Men may represent the never-ending barrage of distractions and irritations that we all have to deal with on a daily basis. By focusing on the simple annoyance of his chair being moved, Horrible is able to maintain his sanity and stay grounded in the face of all this chaos.
Overall, "Keep Moving" is a surreal and somewhat unsettling song that challenges the listener to think about the nature of reality and how we deal with the challenges that come our way.

LYRICS
Don't wanna be sly and defile you
Desecrate my mind and rely on you
I just wanna break this crown
But it's hard when I'm so run down
And you're so cynical, Narcissistic Cannibal!
Got to bring myself back from the dead!
Sometimes, I hate, the life, I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days
Don't wanna be rude but I have to
Nothing's good about the hell you put me through
I just need to look around
See that life that has come unbound
And you're so cynical, Narcissistic Cannibal
Got to bring myself back from the dead
Sometimes, I hate, the life I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Sometimes, I hate, the life I made
Everything's wrong every time
Pushing on I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me taking its sweet time
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days
Holding on I'm lost in a haze
Fighting life to the end of my days

Narcissistic Cannibal by Korn is my favourite song by them besides Freak On A Lease with both pieces being some of the best music I have ever heard from a rock band.
Relate a lot to the lyrics of Narcissistic Cannibal as sometimes I felt used up by the narcissistics in my life and want a way to regain my strength to live my life and not be left behind and broken by these kinds of individuals.
Skrillex and Kill The Noise did a great job here with remixing the song and adding cool tunes that makes this song feel very futuristic.
The imagery on the otherhand was on point when capturing the message being said by the lyrics.
Nothing else to say but Korn, Skrillex and Kill The Noise are legendary artists and their collab song Narcissistic Cannibal is the very embodiment of coolness.
May these artists rock on and keep on energizing people with their incredible music.

The same band that has made a heavy metal nursery rhyme song can also mix with dubstep and absolutely kill it? Ladies and Gentlemen, Korn!
@Jaradis
This and 'Get Up!' are probably two of my favorite Korn songs, and I like most of them. I really was hoping these songs would have led more bands to go with this type of music.
