Utopia
Projekt A-ko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're living in a pure white hell
You're thinking of Kervorkian
Now hey boo
I'm moded like Nancy Drew
The pilots hang a lazy nine
And I just might go postal
I can taste it again
I can see Utopia
Do the crime do-re-me some time
I'll make it worth your while
I'll make you retch easy
Knaves and shrews
the palomino pals you choose
Anatomise thy foppery
Just don't fake on me now
Let's blaze
The lyrics of Projekt A-ko's song Utopia seem to be describing a person who has lost touch with reality and is living in a "pure white hell." The song's protagonist questions this person's state of mind, asking "Perma-fried how did you get so blind?" It seems that this person may be considering ending their life, as they are "thinking of Kervorkian," a reference to Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who assisted in the deaths of terminally ill patients through euthanasia.
The song's protagonist then introduces themselves, saying "hey boo I'm moded like Nancy Drew," perhaps implying that they are a detective trying to understand what's going on with this person. They mention pilots hanging a "lazy nine," which could mean that they are taking a break from their work or responsibilities to relax. However, the singer also mentions the possibility of going "postal," suggesting that they may become violent if pushed too far.
Despite these dark themes, the chorus of the song provides a glimmer of hope. The singer says that "the stars are insane" and that they can "see Utopia." This could be interpreted as a sign that there is hope for this person, that they can find a brighter future.
Overall, the lyrics to Utopia are cryptic and open to interpretation, but seem to be describing a person struggling with mental health issues and a protagonist trying to understand and help them.
