Tape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
from the roman states
lost in litigation
i don't wanna wait no more
dragging out the issues
recognizing fate
nothing will dismiss you
i got my paper
but can't escape
too many takers
don't wanna wait
red tape parade
i see you skid
scar
scrape
cut
chafe
bleed
burn
first you're pushing forward
then you're pulling back
morality is lowered
and i won't cut slack no more
giving it an answer
waiting for the name
it's growing like a cancer
the blame is yours
In Tape's song "Parade", the lyrics seem to convey the frustration and impatience one feels with bureaucratic processes and legal procedures. The opening lines suggest a feeling of being caught up in a legal battle or dispute, with the force of concentration and the mention of Roman states possibly alluding to the weight of history and precedent. However, the phrase "lost in litigation" reflects a sense of being stuck or trapped in a situation without any clear path forward.
The next verse describes the dragging out of the issues and a recognition of fate. It seems that the singer has resigned themselves to the inevitable outcome, but is still filled with impatience and irritation with the process. The line "I got my paper but can't escape" suggests that even with some resolution or conclusion, the lingering effects of the bureaucratic process persist.
The chorus seems to capture the central theme of "Parade", with the repeated refrain of "red tape parade". The song explores the frustrations and challenges of dealing with bureaucracy and legal procedures, and the toll it can take on individuals and their sense of agency.

Tutti a parlarne male, ma secondo me è solo invidia. Sorrentino è un grande regista e ha dei gusti musicali eccezionali.

The group is called Tape. You'll find more of their songs if you search around for a bit, but I must recommend their song Beams, as it is (in my opinion) their masterpiece.
