Blue Pine Trees
Unicorn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wide water, slight waiter, medium sheik
Fat fossil, thin cabaret
Gay turnip dance
Is my answer to you all

Sunflower, P.O. Tower, mole in your soup
Sharp label, green table green
Blue pine tree, blue nose
Does it make any sense to you?

High turtle, full marble, green gangrene
Tight garter, white Terylene
Snake sneaky snake
Is my answer to you all

Sunflower, P.O. Tower, mole in your soup
Sharp label, green table green




Blue pine tree, blue nose
Does it make any sense to you?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Unicorn's song "Blue Pine Trees" are filled with nonsensical phrases and imagery, leaving the listener with a sense of confusion and disorientation. The song is structured as a series of nonsense phrases, which are arranged in pairs and repeated twice in each verse. The first pair of phrases in each verse references natural elements (wide water, sunflower, high turtle), while the second pair references man-made objects (slight waiter, P.O. Tower, full marble). The third line of each verse seems to be a non sequitur, with phrases like "gay turnip dance" or "snake sneaky snake" appearing out of nowhere. The chorus repeats the same nonsensical phrases but adds "blue pine tree, blue nose" to the mix.


It's unclear what the purpose of the lyrics is, but the song achieves a dream-like quality through its use of disjointed phrases and non-sequiturs. The strange combinations of words and images create a sense of confusion and absurdity that feels both comedic and deeply surreal. The song seems to be an exercise in word-play and free association, rather than a coherent narrative or message.
