dweezil zappa - malkovich lyrics

and now said i:

here is an allegory to visualize the scope in which our nature may be illuminated, or be clouded

envision the state of men inhabiting a kind of cavernous subterranean chamber whose entrance is exposed to the light, and is proceeded by a long passageway down into a cave

the prisoners have been here since childhood, chained by their legs and necks to limit movement and vision, so that only what is in front of them can be seen

malkovich
malkovich

the chains will not allow their heads to turn
further up is the light from a fire which burns from behind the men
between the captives and the fire is a trail with a parapet built along it, like a partition at a puppet show
hiding the performers as they animate their puppets over the topside
imagine that behind this partition people are moving along and carrying various synthetic objects including figures of men and animals made from wood stone or other materials…

malkovich
malkovich
malkovich (malkovich)
malkovich (malkovich}

…whose forms are projected above the parapet. some will be talking + others are silent

captives without such a form of confinement
would’ve seen nothing of themselves or of one another, except for the shadows thrust by the firelight, onto the wall of the cave facing them
or would they?

suppose that in this prison there was an echo (echo) coming from the wall facing the prisoners

when one of the persons crossing behind them would speak, the prisoners could only assume that the sound had come from the shadow passing right before their sights

reality, then, to these prisoners, would be established in the form of nothing but shadows from artificial objects

malkovich, malkovich
what the f+ck?
malkovich, malkovich
what the f+
malkovich, malkovich
what the f+ck are you talking about?
malkovich, malkovich
what the f+ck are you talking about?

malkovich, malkovich (malkovich)
what the f+ck are you talking about?
malkovich, malkovich
what the f+ck are you talking about?
malkovich, malkovich (malkovich)
what the f+ck, f+ck, f+ck, f+ck?
malkovich, malkovich (malkovich)
what the f+ck are you talking about?
malkovich, malkovich
what the f+ck are you talking about?
malkovich, malkovich
what the f+ck are you talking about?
malkovich, malkovich (malkovich)
what the f+ck are you talking about?
malkovich, malkovich (malkovich)
what the f+ck are you talking about?
