While they are most often classified as a jam band, their music spans many genres and it all has an original edge. Papadosio is a one of a kind, earthy, livetronica act. They are very much in favor the evolution of humanity, in terms of love for one another and this earth, and this all shines through in their music. They have some funky basslines and awesome audio engineering by thogmartin and brouse. In combination, their sound definitely gets people moving and stirs some souls.
CUE
Papadosio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's salt in the wound
We spread like a virus until it's consumed.
No we don't listen to it -
"I'm not in the mood"
"I'm not in the mood"
"I'm not in the mood"
But it's up to you.
The Earth isn't trying to turn into feud.
Why don't we try to use it?
We're missing the cues;
We run right past the clues,
And now we're waiting on you.
Why don't we all come to it?
Why don't we all run to it?
Why don't we all run to it!?
Why don't we all come to it!?
The Papadosio song Cue speaks to the state of humanity's relationship with the Earth. The opening lyrics express a sense of denial about the destructive impact humans have had on the planet. Referring to it as "salt in the wound," the lyrics suggest that the damage we have done has only made things worse. Yet, rather than accepting responsibility, we spread like a virus, consuming everything in our path. The repetition of "I'm not in the mood" emphasizes the lack of willingness to confront the issue and make changes.
However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope. The lyrics acknowledge that we may not have chosen this situation, but it is up to us to do something about it. The Earth itself is not trying to start a fight, but we need to pay attention to the cues it is giving us. By missing the clues, we have put ourselves in a position where we are waiting for someone else to lead the way.
The final section of the chorus is an invitation to action. Rather than running away from the problem, we should be running towards it. The lyrics suggest that if we all come together and take responsibility, we can make a positive change.
Overall, Cue is an urgent call to action for environmental responsibility. It acknowledges the damage that has been done, but offers a message of hope that if we listen to the Earth and come together, we can create a better future for ourselves and our planet.
