No Bird Sing - Fashionable Cannibal [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Joe Horton:]

The gentleman’s a patient wolf
Playing doctor for a flock of sheep
With two tone ethics and amphetamine speak
I’m not the problem ‘ I’m just the next in line
They won’t fix the ride no matter how many broken necks they find
With a blessed mind and a bleeding chest
I humbly swear to protect the bottom line with my dying breath
By the time you realize the money’s dyed soylent green
You’ll rely on it so much, you’ll think it’s natural
To optimize collateral damages
Fashionable cannibal ‘ Hated those people anyway
How deep? Deeper than your selfish
Catch you on the way down ‘ Your welcome for the head trip

[Chorus:]

Predator Drone ‘ Bank loan ‘ Dead time (repeats)

[Verse 2: Joe Horton:]

Empty angel consumed by the weatherman’s prediction of snow in the afternoon
Don’t act confused about the lonely in the mass grave
7 billion strong and I’m pressed to recall a present face
Stagger in the afterglow
Yes it feels fragile, but once your perception shatters
It won’t matter what store the mannequin went to get his swagger from
So many voices in your brain is a stagnant hum
Pass go ‘ Collect your capsule ‘ Chemical lasso ‘ Sleeping on your feet is a hassle
Breathing ether with the actors on the stage is so amazing, here
Sit and read this script until you’re famous
How deep? Gotta fear lobotomy, bottom’s calling me ‘ Gotta go
Sinking slow with a soma drone
Fix is the solution‘ Floating and totally sober
Home alone and stoned virtual
Really like the company ‘ Vertigo was worth it
One thing is for certain ‘ Defining your position is a symptom of a sick mind
On both sides of the curtain

[Chorus:]
