Fabian
Tripod Lyrics

This is the tale of a reindeer that nobody knows
The introduction to a story about a reindeer that has been largely ignored.

shoved down the back and largely ignored
Fabian was disregarded by the other reindeer.

on account of a nasal disfigurement
Due to his abnormal snout, Fabian was excluded from the herd.

the hallmarks are almost the same
Fabian and Rudolph shared a similar physical trait.

instead of a red shiny nose that brought Rudolph his fame Fabian had just a cavity
While Rudolph's red nose made him famous, Fabian only had an empty space where his nose should have been.

(No Nose at all)Just a big empty space in the middle of his face
Fabian had no discernable nose, just an empty area in the center of his face.

just a couple of chambers
The empty space in Fabian's face did not serve any particular purpose.

Abnormal snouts were surprisingly common in reindeer
It was not uncommon for reindeer to have abnormal snouts.

Rudolph and Fabian both fell victim to the elves and their cost-cutting measures
Both Rudolph and Fabian were harmed by the elves' attempts to cut costs.

In keeping their over-heads down the elves fed the reindeer on reindeer and on top of that the poor reindeer were also in-bred
As a cost-saving measure, the elves fed the reindeer on other reindeer, and the reindeer were also inbred.

so Fabian had just a cavity
Fabian's abnormally shaped snout was a result of the elves' cost-cutting measures.

(his hooter was lacking) bugger all schnoz all this because his dad was also his sister (who he then ate)
Fabian's snout was missing due to his parents being siblings and him eating his sister.

Disliked by his peers this disfigured deer was alone
Due to his snout and his personality, Fabian was disliked by the other reindeer and was alone.

He watched from afar as Rudolph the star would lead the others back home
Fabian watched Rudolph lead the other reindeer home from a distance.

But before you get to sympathetic theres another thing you should know
Before feeling sympathetic towards Fabian, there is something else to consider.

sure his nose was upsetting but reindeer are not quite that shallow
While Fabian's snout was a physical imperfection that led to his exclusion, not all reindeer are that shallow.

cause Fabian was a tosser
Fabian was not a likeable character, he was arrogant and self-serving.

Not nice at all An arrogant fool A self-serving tool an absolute face hole
A description of Fabian's poor personality traits.

Fabian, Fabian no one likes you
Fabian is disliked by everyone.

Fabian, Fabian surgery wont fix the vortex that is your black heart
Fabian's poor personality cannot be fixed through surgery.
