I've read that those are not the real lyrics to the Messhugah song. Apparently the writer, Fredrik, was so embarrassed by his original lyrics which he wrote when very young, that it when it came to publish the song lyrics in the booklet, instead of the actual lyrics he made up a bunch of nonsense in its place, or as Phil Collins might call it, Nonce Sense.



Even with it being intended nonsense, I like to think you can make sense of anything, and I have my own interpretation of the quoted mislyrics.

"Fast, sweet and heavy penetrating into my
grandparents pupils out of reach but with a
canoes evil emotion..."

makes more sense if you write it like this:

"Fast, sweet and heavy penetrating into my
grandparents. Pupils out of reach but with a
canoes evil emotion..."

A canoe is a synonym for a peter (i.e. a willy) -- the rabbit in the fake lyrics references Peter Rabbit and is a euphemism. It's all very tawdry.

Long live the Swedes...............

you know, I can make sense of ANY weird lyrics. that's because I am very familiar with mnemonics. say for example you want to buy some items like butter, a set of batteries, a pair of shoes, a toothbrush, condoms and a Hungarian dictionary. these items have absolutely nothing to do with each other, which makes it difficult to remember them all. to help with this you invent a story in which all these items occur. for some reason a human brain can remember a story much better than a list of random items. to display this ability with these items here is this little story:

Paul has a date with a beautiful Hungarian girl he recently met who wore an incredible pair of shoes with extreme high heels. unfortunately she does not speak English at all, so he needs a Hungarian dictionary. he wants to bake a cake for her, but he needs some butter for this. since he wants to sleep with her he needs condoms as well. he also wants to use a vibrator on her during foreplay, but the batteries in his are empty. since he wants to have a perfect smile he needs his teeth brushed, but his toothbrush fell into the loo by accident, so he needs a new one.

there, all items accounted for in a little story

Tom Ozric wrote: ^ ........o.k. - but where does the 'canoes evil emotion' fit into the picture ?? Mind you, the Meshuggah guys are barely out of their teens at this point.

it's obvious. his upset stomach reminds him of how he felt when riding wild waters in a canoe. that canoe bucked that much that he thought it had evil emotions

makes perfect sense to me. he apparently has his foot in his mouth, which is why his tonsils are pendulating between them. he put it there to cause vomiting to free his stomach from that irksome rabbit he ate. he undressed for that because he did not want to get his clothes dirty. all this is shown on TV, and his grandparents are watching it

I used to hear that too. It doesn't sound too different from "end your life" ...

Another line from "Paranoid" I misheard was "Can you help me occupy my brain?"
I heard: "Can you help me? Oh, you burn my brain"

In "Snowblind" by Sabbath there are the lines
"Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold".
I thought he sang: "Makes me happy, makes me come"

I recall talking to a dude at a friend's party about Sabbath - the song Paranoid. Toward the end, Ozzy sings " I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it's too late ".
He said that many folks mis-heard this as. 'I tell you to END YOUR life, I wish I could but it's too late'. Apparently there was a spate of suicides around the time of release ?? Not sure how credible that is, though.

That reminds me, I was listening to ELP's "Are you ready Eddy" last night. One of the verses repeats the line "Are you ready Eddy to pull your faders down?". The second time it really sounds like "Are you ready Eddy to pull your p*nis down" to me.

When Crazy World of Arthur Brown’s “Fire” first came out, I’d hear the half-spoken word “fire” in the lyrics and it immediately brought to mind Frank Sutton as Sgt. Carter on “Gomer Pyle, USMC” berating Gomer in probably every episode with a “Pyle!”  Some of the other lyrics vaguely sounded like further lecturing, like “I’ll see you learn!”

Of course I knew it couldn‘t have had anything to do with Gomer Pyle but it was still fun to play with it.
