Skeksis
Strapping Young Lad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I control an awkward soul
And my lines
Are automatic, automatically drawn
Realizing a multiverse in just one thing
And then I'm automatic, automatically gone

Writing down my infinity
Writing for all eternity

Colors relate to numbers relate to sound
Relates to form relate to war relate to sex
Relates to healing
Relates to all god vibration

Formula

I'd like to take it easy
I'd like to think I try
I'd like to think forever
I would not question why!
I'd like to say I'm sorry,
I do not know the words
All I can say right now is
Everything happens when no ones around!

Writing down my infinity
Writing for all eternity
Eliminate inner parenthesis,
Now combine like terms remembering to watch negative signs
I'm right here forward
Incriminate, fall down, hide soft; inner terminated.
Om! Om! Om!
Be careful with polynomial colors
Colors
There can never be an answer
We can never factor om

And I know you've found your pain
And it's the last thing you'll ever do
And you've only got you to thank!

Oh I control an awkward soul
In my time
And then I'm automatic, automatically god

Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fucking fight!
Fight!
Fight!




Fight!
Fucking fight!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Strapping Young Lad's song Skeksis are quite cryptic, but they seem to revolve around the idea of writing and creating, as well as the concept of infinity and the universe. The first stanza seems to describe the process of creation and how it is almost automatic; the writing of a multiverse and then disappearing automatically. The second stanza delves deeper into this idea of infinity, connecting it to colors, numbers, sound, form, war, sex, healing, and god vibration. The lyrics then trail off into mathematical equations and a repetition of the word "Om," suggesting perhaps the merging of science and spirituality.


In the final stanza, the lyrics become more aggressive, with a call to fight. This could be seen as a struggle against the infinity and the universe, or perhaps the struggles of creating and writing, trying to make sense of the incomprehensible.
