Ever wondered what happens when you mix existential musings with a dash of absurdity and a sprinkle of mechanical mayhem? Well, buckle up! Tally Hall's quirky anthem is a whimsical rollercoaster through the mind of someone grappling with control, identity, and the relentless march of time. Our protagonist dances in zirconium pants and critiques his own facade, all while pondering the omnipotence of "mechanical hands." It's a frenetic blend of self-awareness and satire, wrapped in catchy chaos. Ultimately, it’s an ode to embracing our human folly—because let’s face it, even rulers need to smile at their own absurdity now and then.
Ruler of Everything
Lyrics
Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had
So he shot at the sun with a gun
Shot at the sun with a gun
Shot at his wily one only friend
In the gallows or the ghetto
In the town or the meadow
In the billows even over the sun
Every end of a time is another begun
You understand mechanical hands
Are the ruler of everything (ah)
Ruler of everything (ah)
I'm the ruler of everything in the end
Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants
Consequential enough to slip you into a trance
Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk?
Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk?
I have a wonderful wife, I have a powerful job
She criticizes me for being egocentric
You practice your mannerisms into the wall
If this mirror were clearer, I'd be standing so tall
I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill
I was observing the birds (circle in for the kill)
I've been you, I know you, your facade is a scam
You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am
I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme
Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene
Oh, no, no, oh yeah
Do you hear the flibbity-jibbity-jibber-jabber
With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here
Or I'll have another word to sell, another story to tell
Another time piece ringing the bell"
Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end?
No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can
But when you try to pretend to understand
You resemble a fool, although you're only a man
So give it up and smile
Do you hear the flibbity-jibbity-jibber-jabber
With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here
Or I'll have another word to sell, another story to tell
Another time piece ringing the bell"
Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end?
No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can
But when you try to pretend to understand
You resemble a fool, although you're only a man
So give it up and smile (smile, smile, smile)
You understand mechanical hands
Are the ruler of everything (ah)
Ruler of everything (ah)
I'm the ruler of everything
In the end
Without looking down, gliding around
Like a bumbling dragon, I fly
Scraping my face on the sky
Oh, no, no, oh, yeah
