Punk
Spacemonkeyz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bound to myself and goes home
Making of herself a number
Always tell her before I start up
Do now what I tell you shut up

Bound to the chair
Do me what you can
Bound to a door
Get down on the floor
Find out how we'll do with the loop
'Til everybody says shut up
Yeah

Telling to Miguel I love her
Try and see what happens get up
Everybody says I should up
Last time I told them right off

Playing with the sun
I knew what I was doing
Did it to myself
Did it to myself




I let horror to myself of doing
'Cause everybody tell me shut up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "De-Punked" by the Spacemonkeyz appear to be quite cryptic and open to interpretation, given the repetitive nature of the phrases used. However, upon closer inspection, it seems that the song touches on themes of self-destruction, subjugation, and isolation.


The opening lines "Bound to myself and goes home / Making of herself a number" evoke a sense of being trapped and enslaved, possibly to one's own self or internal demons. This is reinforced by the subsequent lines "Always tell her before I start up / Do now what I tell you shut up", which suggest an internal struggle between the singer and their own thoughts or emotions. The repetition and emphasis on "shut up" further emphasize the need to silence oneself, which could be interpreted as a response to feelings of shame, fear, or guilt.


The lines "Bound to the chair / Do me what you can / Bound to a door / Get down on the floor" suggest a sense of powerlessness and vulnerability, as though the singer is trapped and at the mercy of an external force. The phrase "Find out how we'll do with the loop" could be interpreted as a reference to a cycle of self-destruction or negative thinking. Despite this, the song retains a somewhat rebellious tone, with the phrase "Til everybody says shut up, yeah" suggesting a sense of resistance to external pressures.


The lines "Playing with the sun / I knew what I was doing / Did it to myself / Did it to myself" further reinforce the idea of self-inflicted harm and perhaps a sense of control or agency over one's own destruction. The final line "Cause everybody tell me shut up" could be seen as a reflection on societal pressure to conform or remain silent, even in the face of one's own pain or struggle.


Overall, "De-Punked" appears to be a highly introspective and bleak examination of the human psyche, touching on themes of internal struggle, self-destructive tendencies, and societal pressure.

Gran tema, un buen disco de Dub, genial!

I bought this album before I knew what weed was. I liked the music back then, but after I hit the bong and listened to this I felt like I had a completely new understanding of the dub vibe.
