Little Voice
Shades McCool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got your own circle in hell
I'm not hyperbolizing
I just want to enjoy this thing
Little voice you gotta go
It doesn't seem that long ago I was young, dumb, full of fun
Now that I'm old, cold, full of mold
Everything's a hassle to me now
I don't want you making that sound
I don't want you banging around
If you're gonna be there I'm gonna move or just sit and stew.
Maybe you don't understand that you are so loud.
Understand I'm not messing around when I turn around and choke you out during
Watchmen in the scene where they fuck to Leonard Cohen
Little voice you gotta go cuz I'm about to explode
I used to be young, dumb, full of fun
Now that I'm old, cold, covered in mold
Everything's a hassle to me now
Everyone's an asshole to me now
I don't want you making that sound
I don't want you banging around
If you're gonna be there I'm gonna move or just sit and stew
Show some respect, show some restraint. MST3000 you ain't

The lines "I was young, dumb, full of fun, Now that I'm old, cold, full of mold" imply a sense of nostalgia for earlier carefree days contrasted with a current state of bitterness and cynicism. These feelings contribute to the desire to break free from the burdensome voice that hampers the singer's present existence.
