Bizarre
Perera Elsewhere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A long time money's running everything
The same ten families run this show
Friends with the president, friends with the Pope
It's been a long time holding up this house
Until this long time is over let's make the most of it
So surreal, this fast above like a finger wearing a pended brow
It's so bizarre
So bizarre
So bizarre
So bizarre
It's been a long time
So bizarre
So bizarre
Day long now, found a fowl
Pay a long day, land up with a mannequin
Damn those cannibals who run this show
Men in the Vatican, bend your head low
Hear the gun chime, glass is up to toe
Kill the bunch, yes, over these man
Go wish cause there's a soul for him
There's task for us As I sink back into my comfy jazz
It's so BIZARRE
So bizarre
So bizarre
So bizarre
It's been a long time
So bizarre
So bizarre
The lyrics of Perera Elsewhere's song Bizarre reflect on the current state of the world and how power and money have become more important than anything else. The first verse talks about how money has taken over and how the same families seem to be running everything behind the scenes, even having connections with the president and the Pope. The second verse portrays a situation of hopelessness and surrealism where a man is found with a mannequin after a long day of work, and how those who hold power seem to be cannibals who bend others to their will.
The chorus, which repeats the line "It's so bizarre" throughout, serves as a statement of how surreal and nonsensical everything seems to be. Despite the grim outlook presented in the verses, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope for the future, acknowledging that it's been a long time since things have been as they should be.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a commentary on the current state of the world and how money and power have taken over, leaving people feeling powerless and disillusioned. The use of surreal imagery and repetition of the line "so bizarre" adds to the feeling of disorientation and detachment from reality that the song conveys.
