  • @mpchead621
    @mpchead621 Před 14 lety +6

    not many people can relate to his shit but the ones who can, really do. so thats why instead of having widespread fame, he has a following of people who really appreciate his art. in my opinion thats the best kind of fame...

    • @mistaree5731
      @mistaree5731 Před 11 měsíci +1

      well said. I'm one of the people that relate and really study his art. It's honestly mind blowing! it's like how the opera or classical is made for the elite of the musical society, Aes is like a whole genre on his own, for the lyrical elite to marvel at and appreciate. It's way too advanced for most listeners, it's more for the writers and most advanced lyrical savants. GOAT

    The water ain't safe, the land's made of water
    I hug a half empty glass my dignity's trying to pawn her
    I'm trying to see the future in a tea cup and a saucer
    But I rather be drinking coffee with my cigarette foster
    And a run away buckle the cloud-nine fantasy filter to force the
    brutal truth
    Of daily market place wars through the roof
    I mean I stood beneath the icicles that bleed under the awning
    And magically mastered the great absorbing of spirit falling
    But I'm sick, I've plowed these fields a thousand times over
    Sold botanical research studies to farmers with whole quotas
    And when science proposes to art besides that peaceful sea
    I'll be that cat with a ring on a pillow shouting finally
    Take a number, the apple seeds rained upon each slumber
    A hundred thousand freaks on parade for the village hunter
    My every whim acted upon has gone loopy
    But I play a game called lets prepare barnacle city for the end-all noosings
    I split the radius at go-getter bellies, reconnaissance
    Seeping fossil genie bottle optimist freeze
    Run for the fountain but the fountain is a desert optical
    tease
    Tummy full of sand running man impossible stop
    There's a wing in my gut and i'm all dust
    Surf in the urban Iditarod certainly flushed
    Now one in the hands worth two atop the tallest cedar
    But what lies inside my heart is off the mother funking meter
    [Chorus]
    See the Water ain't safe no more
    'I'm just trying to build myself to act as a truly better man
    damn'
    See the water ain't safe no more
    'Nah nah the water ain't safe no more'
    I'm just trying to be a solid oak tree for every child to carve
    its name across
    'The water ain't safe no more'
    I'm just trying to be the dream of ever peasant the hurricane
    can offer
    'I'm just trying to be some body I can talk to in the morning
    with a smile'
    The Water ain't safe no more..
    [Verse Two]
    And I've always been a 40 night chronologic hostage
    Rusted hook in the lip of the monarch
    Wingless Anime
    I don't play in the man race cycle
    Hope floater
    Gloating inside carnal indifference till doom cops are slight
    and
    potent quotas
    I'm 20 something pumping acrylic tomorrow side ways
    Blazing passage with a map tattooed on the back of the classless
    Now tip toe across a lost cause
    Because a lost cause found
    Don't mean you found a cause
    That means you found a lost cause
    Ok now ive been here for role playing
    Slaying my here and now
    To benefit consumption for my peers steering the plow
    And its incredible
    Handy jackets turn numerals to sentinels
    But bad apples ain't sweet and cretins ain't that memorable
    I'm Mozart with a focus on the tide
    Hiding the inconsistencies of man behind water and wine
    I wear a tiger stripped ego and bivouac my progression
    With a kingliness formulated through the flesh of the oppressors
    God had a flask I can prove it
    You really think the 13 loops that loose daughter
    spawned me a sober unit, check potion
    Addressed the ghost inside my TV with a ruler
    At hear to the back bone stone pusher
    Here ten thousand hackers deep in a movement
    That's 20,000 crucial ruby heels clicking in unison
    It's beautiful, truly beautiful
    I keep a stick inside my hand
    and carve my name inside every wall of the falling hologram

    This song means more to me than any other song I've ever listened to. Whatever his personal meaning is I have, myself, an idea of what this song is about and I don't think any other tune has hit me so personally. Truly brilliant man, instead of fighting about what he means let's just give praise where it's deserved and hope that he keeps making great, meaningful music that we all can take something out of.

    I always took it as the water you were so comfortable swimming in; is no longer safe. Like, you need to get out of your comfort zones to truly develop yourself and to not do so is unsafe.

    • @theculprit101
      @theculprit101 Před 8 lety +8

      I like to think it's about his reasoning. When he says the land is made of water he is saying everything he thought he knew is wrong and he can't take refuge in what he used to find comfort in.

    Payed for three Aesop albums cause I heard him and EL-P on youtube.
    Very happy with spending my cash to support this dude.
    But I don't own this song.... Yet.

    i think for aes rock to be a definitive artist he would have to have a wider reach. the beatles were difinitive because everyone knew the beatles.

    I'd listen to Aesop Rock if he rapped over beats made from fart sounds. His lyrics honestly cannot be beaten.

    I Listened to this song when i got busted, covered in blood and in tears. This is the true meaning of music.

    @ExcellenceUSAF i agree. people dont question the amount of sensical meaning in main stream stuff but when they hear aesop rock they accuse of him spitting gibberish when all rap contains kinda pointless, meaningless lines. While not the only goal, flow and overall vibe of a song is probably the ultimate goal of music in general.

    Sorry i skipped a part... The "20,000 ruby heels clicking in unison" is a refrence to the wizard of oz, where dorothy is saying "i wish i was home". To me, This is ment as a metaphor for him trying to escape reality.

    @iBrettC That's because it's not Aesop Rock's album, it's by a group called Atoms Family. Good luck finding the album, if you do let me know!

    @yugo91aesop yeah, Aesop's lyrics are something that randomly click together and make sense in your mind randomly one day way after the fact. like puzzle pieces. lol
