aesop rock groupies please tell me
 

can any of you aesop rock groupes tell me what this means? and dont give me no bullshit about it means what you want it to mean thats why its abstract, or you have to look at the whole picture. i have heard all the excuses to get out of explaining aesop rock lyrics and im sick of them so, will some of you fans of his music please explain to me (n-demik cant answer cause he is aesop and he is the only one that knows)

Ok, this is the dawning of the book of bitter aspects
Where the jackals sit and watch the pedigods last flesh
Poison functions accompanied by six armorclad
Black horse and buggy mechanism
Tugged a portion of my severed vision
The gathering of loose ends in a bucket
Wit a shoestring budget
Every man's got a field to plow (I know that now)
But it's like, man I really can't afford the oxen
Fee fie et cetera
I smell the warm blood of the bill collector knockin
I get awkwardly sturdy with a frigid liquid backbone
I get swept in the pressure cooker tryin to paddle back home
I get sprung with a vibe and alliance of clean intention
By eclipsing doom midigons hatched to bash these picket fences
Now I'll attend the wedding of the open sword festering
Now when the groom presents the ring
The bride commence to blistering
This textbook magnificently crude
Prototype king beserker modulate
Serve the vertical thirst, burst horizontal
Treasure, loose cannons span the starbit power
The clippership dipped in truth famine pressure
Cabin fever meter pegging ludicrous
Beautiful cartoon trooper
swallow brutal futility with a teaspoon full of sugar
I rock ready aim fire, while y'all rock ready fire aim
Then blame the stationary target when the prey escapes the frame
Merit badge marksman, a poacher, it's all the same
So I lay across the woods perpendicular to the grain


tell me what that means and break down as many lines as you can with a meaning, prove to me that aesop isnt garbage ass mindless babble. i'll post some more that are even worse if i get a answer that is acceptable and not some bullshit.

EDIT - changed to lyrics i found on OHHLA

Oooooh oooooooh I know

of coarse you do you wrote it.;) but i see kids saying how dope he is(most only do it to fit in), but i doubt they understand one word he says.

rythemic tendances (what ever his name is) is one of the ones i want to answer cause for some reason i dont beleave he understands aesop i think he is only tring to fit in.

and i want handcuffs to answer cause i dont beleave him either.

muthugga probabley does understand cause i have read his work and its weird like aesop but i want him to answer just cause he is fun to pick on.:hump:

yes im calling out names. i want people to prove they like him cause they understand him not because they think he is diffrent or because someone else said he was dope. ill find some more so called aesop fans later

Those lyrics you have there for Big Bang are way off

wher'd you get them from?

could be a part of why you don't understand them

Yea the lyrics are off a bit. But I know what the song's meaning and message is :)

Oh and I am really Aesop. Demik ghosted for me a few times *coughs*

well i didnt actualy look at the lyrics i just found them and pasted them but a true aesop rock fan wouldnt need to read his lyrics they should know them, . but i have some aesop CDs and i still dont understand his lyrics.

i used to like him until i actually sat and listened and realised he was wack.

but yet you dont give the meaning typical aesop fan

Meaning of what ? Those lyrics you posted and claimed they were Aesop ? How can I tell you the meaning of something that is that off ?

Oh and just to help you out. A lot.. not me personally.. but a lot of his fanbase listen to his tracks for his diverse delivery and rhyme schemes my friend.

well i put up the right lyrics now, and dont say they are wrong cause im listening to the song and they match now so tell me the meaning. if your not goignt o give me the meaning then dont reply again.

If you REALLY need it I'll break some section down bar for bar or whatever but let me get at the jist of things first.

^That is talking about the way he lives. Aesop isn't a rich man. He has said multiple times how we has to scramble to pay rent. This is hinting at the facts that he isn't a rich man, in fact, he is often times poor. So poor he can't afford some of the luxaries in life. This one was an easy section.

Now I'll attend the wedding of the open sword festering
Now when the groom presents the ring
The bride commence to blistering
This textbook magnificently crude
Prototype king beserker modulate
Serve the vertical thirst, burst horizontal
^This is saying basically. Although some may perceive it SLIGHTLY different. The blatant message behind it is that nothing has the fairy tale ending.

Treasure, loose cannons span the starbit power
The clippership dipped in truth famine pressure
Cabin fever meter pegging ludicrous
Beautiful cartoon trooper
swallow brutal futility with a teaspoon full of sugar
^This is basically saying. You gotta roll with the punches. Even though your dealt a bad hand you have to "swallow" with "a teaspoon full of sugar" to paraphrase.

I rock ready aim fire, while y'all rock ready fire aim
Then blame the stationary target when the prey escapes the frame
Merit badge marksman, a poacher, it's all the same
So I lay across the woods perpendicular to the grain

^This speaks of his diversity. He is saying how he likes doing things his way and different from everyone. Another easy message.

Blah. Post some Bazooka Tooth I bet hardly anyone gets what that's even about. :)

I'm too lazy to do it all, and some of the lyrics are still off, but here's my interpretation/explanation of sum of it

The gathering of loose ends in a bucket
Wit a shoestring budget
Every man's got a field to plow (I know that now)
But it's like, man I really can't afford the oxen
Fee fie et cetera
I smell the warm blood of the bill collector knockin
^^I put everything I have left to do b4 I die together, but I don't have the money to do it since I have bills to pay.
I get awkwardly sturdy with a frigid liquid backbone
I get swept in the pressure cooker tryin to paddle back home
^^alcohol solves my problems but then when I try to get back home I get into trouble.
I get sprung with a vibe and alliance of clean intention
By eclipsing doom midigons hatched to bash these picket fences
^^I think sumthin good's coming my way but only because I block out the bad shit.
Now I'll attend the wedding of the open sore and festering
Now when the groom presents the ring
The bride commence to blistering
^^I'll embrace my pain, dreams of happiness turn out to just that
This textbook magnificently crude
^^It's always been like this

Mine was cooler. But yea fuck a line break down. I just told you the messages in entirities.

its funny how both of you come up with two diffrent meaningS LOL. i guess that goes back to the it means what ever you want it to mean cause its abstract excuse.

precise i agree with some of yours but it seems like you got the meaning out your parts off off one little line.

like this part

Now I'll attend the wedding of the open sword festering
Now when the groom presents the ring
The bride commence to blistering

i think that part is how you got the maning to that part cause the other 3 lines were just bullshit lines.

swallow brutal futility with a teaspoon full of sugar

and that line is the one you got the meaning of the other part from cause the other lines were just some more bullshit.

thats why i dont like aesop.

How could I when I seperating them ? Look. He is talking about proposing to a girl he presented the ring.. she started crying.. THEN comes..

This textbook magnificently crude
^Textbook.. crude.. main words. Textbook goes back to uniformity of the obviously prementioned. Crude is obvious if not then you won't get anything Aesop says.

Prototype king beserker modulate
^PROTOTYPE ohhh. Modulate. ooohh. It gets ALTERED. A modulate is add ons of something. Prototype.. jesus I hope I don't need to explain that.

Serve the vertical thirst, burst horizontal
^Ok honestly the message is hazy. Ok firstly vertical and horizontal. Differences.. or opposites. Thirst and burst sorta opposite in nature right ? Cuz if you thirst you take in and if you burst it comes out. I got a sorta feeling of Serve the vertical thirst <--- Uniformity of things. Everyone doing things the same way. burst horizontal <--- Transition it. Be yourself.

This is why I said everything isn't a fairybook ending. And there you go.

The other is the same way. Of course the other is just 2 bars. A message per 2 bars is still blatantly complex.
