Think About Mutation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's not the suicide it's only a test
you've got eyes
like the corpse of james dean
f**k with corbucci or fiorucci
you've got eyes
like a bottle of j & b
it's not your suicide no suicide no suicide
it's not the suicide it's only a test
remote control of your sequencer am / pm?
what's wrong what's right?
Remote control of your sickly heart
I'm your last cab get in - we'll keep you
it's not your suicide no suicide no suicide
it's not the suicide it's only a test
The song Warning by Think About Mutation seems to be a commentary on society's preoccupation with death and the fascination with those who have died tragically young. The first verse suggests that the person being addressed may have eyes similar to those of the late James Dean, a symbol of youthful rebellion and a tragic end. The mention of fashion brands Corbucci and Fiorucci could be interpreted as a commentary on the superficiality of society's obsessions. The chorus then reassures that there is no need for suicide, that it is only a test, perhaps a test of one's resolve in the face of the pressures of society.
The second verse seems to delve further into the idea of control, possibly referring to the way some people try to control their lives or emotions by turning to technology or other distractions. The automation of a sequencer and questions about what is right or wrong suggest a robotic, emotionless attitude towards life. The mention of a "sickly heart" could imply a concern for one's health, but at the same time, the mention of a cab suggests the possibility of escape or the pursuit of a reckless lifestyle. Once again, the chorus concludes with the notion that suicide is not the answer, that it is only a test.
Overall, the lyrics of Warning seem to suggest that there is more to life than the shallow preoccupations of society and that there are other ways to deal with the pressures of life than by surrendering to them. While death may be alluring, it is not the answer to life's problems.
