According to Gregory, Rozwell Kid was a substantial influence on much of his early songwriting. The band's name is derived from a game that Gregory played with the band's "merch guy" at recess in elementary school. They began in 2014 with the release of an EP titled Skip Cutscenes! Blow Loud!. In 2015 they followed the EP with another, titled Adult Summers. They later released their first full-length album titled I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving in 2016 on Broken World Media.
In 2019, the band released its second full-length album titled Cosmic Thrill Seekers on Counter Intuitive Records, and embarked on several extensive tours in support of the album. In 2021, the band released the single, “Curly Q”, and announced their singing with Pure Noise Records. Later in 2022 their third studio LP was announced and followed by the singles, “A Random Exercise in Impermanence (The Collector)”, “El Dorado”, and Shoelaces.” The bands self-titled album was released April 15, 2022.
The Prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform
Prince Daddy & The Hyena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This talk of birds and clouds
But I'm stuck on solid ground
There's not much to talk about
A lunar phase
We've seen brighter days
Sit and think all day like a recluse
Like a recluse
You're so pathetic!
Deceptive moods are like
Some random passerby
We catch each other's eyes
But they're too fast for mine
A lunar phase
We've seen brighter days
You always get sad when I'm happy
These things call for misunderstandings
Nothing in my brain would impress you
Sit and think all day like a recluse
If nobody's told you
The rumors are all true
You're so pathetic!
The lyrics of "The Prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform" by Prince Daddy & The Hyena capture a sense of frustration and disillusionment with social interactions. The singer seems to be detached from the rumors and small talk that surround them, feeling grounded while others are caught up in fanciful ideas like birds and clouds. They perceive themselves as stuck on solid ground, unable to find much substance in these superficial conversations.
The mention of a lunar phase and brighter days suggests a contrast between the singer's current state and a more hopeful or vibrant past. Perhaps they long for a time when things felt more alive and meaningful, as if they are now stuck in a monotonous or stagnant phase.
The lyrics also express a sense of isolation and alienation. The singer mentions being like a recluse, spending their days alone with their thoughts. There is a feeling of inadequacy when they admit that even the activity within their own brain would fail to impress others. This self-deprecating view contributes to a sense of frustration and resentment.
The line "You always get sad when I'm happy" points to a disconnect between the singer and someone else in their life. There seems to be a recurring pattern of misunderstandings, with their happiness causing sadness in another person. This further fuels the singer's feelings of frustration and highlights the difficulty they have in forming genuine connections.
Overall, "The Prototype of the Ultimate Lifeform" reflects a mixture of disillusionment, detachment, and frustration with social interactions, highlighting a desire for deeper connections and a yearning for more meaningful experiences.

Heard rumors floating around
I've heard people spreading gossip
This talk of birds and clouds
People are discussing abstract and irrelevant topics
But I'm stuck on solid ground
I stay focused on practical and tangible matters
There's not much to talk about
There's not a lot of interesting or meaningful things to discuss
A lunar phase
A time of darkness and uncertainty
We've seen brighter days
Our lives have been more positive and hopeful in the past
Nothing in my brain would impress you
I don't have any extraordinary or impressive thoughts
Sit and think all day like a recluse
I spend my days alone, lost in deep thoughts
Like a recluse
Just like a hermit who isolates themselves from society
You're so pathetic!
You are extremely pitiful and sad
Deceptive moods are like
Unreliable emotions are similar to
Some random passerby
An unknown person walking by
We catch each other's eyes
We briefly make eye contact
But they're too fast for mine
But I can't keep up with their quick movements
You always get sad when I'm happy
You consistently feel down when I am feeling joyful
These things call for misunderstandings
These situations lead to confusion and misinterpretation
If nobody's told you
In case nobody has informed you
The rumors are all true
The gossip is actually accurate
