Strange Harvest
Uncle Outrage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They'll say there is no God (God)
They'll say it was all them, but don't believe
Their truth will be a fraud (fraud)
Through hologram machine technology
Is how they led us on
It may look bad, but don't be scared
I don't fear your...
Doo do doo doo, doo do doo doo
I'm not a liar
But I cannot say for sure
They'll get you higher
Than you've ever got
Greys will divide us
Like the riches from the poor
They'll get you higher
Our strange new visitor will defy us
They'll say there is no God (God)
Presented to the world
Religion takes a back seat to their thought (thought)
The feeble minded will not question what they see
They will all flock (flock)
We've got to kill them all right now
This is not time for being soft
I don't fear your...
Doo do doo doo, doo do doo doo
I'm not a liar
But I cannot say for sure
They'll get you higher
Than you've ever got
Greys will divide us
Like the riches from the poor
They'll get you higher
The song "Strange Harvest" by Uncle Outrage seems to be a commentary on the arrival of extraterrestrial beings to earth and how they will challenge humanity's beliefs and unity. The first verse talks about how these visitors will say that there is no God and that their truth will be a fraud. However, the singer urges listeners not to be scared and to band together against the odds. The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't fear your..." followed by a melodic line, possibly indicating the singer's defiance towards these new visitors.
The second verse talks about how these visitors will present themselves to the world and how religion will take a back seat to their thought. The feeble-minded will not question what they see and will flock to follow them. The singer seems to be advocating for killing them all right now and not to be soft. This could be interpreted as either a call to arms or a warning against blindly following these new visitors without questioning their motives.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a world divided by these new visitors and the potential consequences of their arrival. It touches on themes of unity, belief, and power dynamics.
