Aesop Rock Lyrics

    ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock

I'm intrigued by the amount of thought the artist has put into this music, unlike the majority of top-of-the-charts artists. Will definitely get hold of more of his music.
Thumbs up to Aesop Rock! (odd name?!)

    ------ About the song Night Light performed by Aesop Rock

there's quite a few comments over on "Daylight" preaching its genious along with loyal fans of aesop, so Im surprised no one has commented on this song. a great complimentary song to daylight. Im not too sure which I like better. great song.

    ------ About the song Coffee performed by Aesop Rock

I don't think this is political at all, but about the crushing self-induced conformity and self righteousness of Middle America suburbia. That the description of the neighbor (neighbor being implied by the reference to the fence and the barbecue) is most likely a conservative is probably correct, but a secondary topic at best. the main theme I get from this is that of self-denied potential: of the tendency for peopel to choose what they see as a safe, normal lifestyle even though they end up being crushed by it and their own wealth, and the narrator's rejection of the bourgoisie.

    ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock

and i will remember your name and face
on the day you are judged by the funhouse cast
and i will rejoice in your fall from grace
with a cane through the sky like "none shall pass"

To me, Aesop is saying that when you are "judged by the funhouse cast" that is all the general unthinking consuming masses, that he will rejoice, and that your "fall from grace" is actually the best thing that can happen to you because you will not be beholden to the funhouse cast, the people who don't take things seriously, and that this lowest point after the fall is actually the destination. Here, Aesop will welcome you, because he has remembered your name and face. And once you're in, once you've seen the other side, you can't go back, and Aesop knows it. None shall pass.

    ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock

I think he's just trying to use his words to get people to think a little harder. Although, we may not have the the same interpretation as him his songs still makes us recognize all the corruption, violence, greed,and unjustness going on in the world and once enough people recognize the problems then maybe we'll be able to fix them.

    ------ About the song Daylight performed by Aesop Rock

i will never tire of listening and hearing new lines that suddenly stand out and add to that the deciphering aspect and you have longevity. And im just referring to the lyrics not even touched on the music n production. De La Soul have similarities, after listening to their songs for decades i still catch something new.

REAL talent

    ------ About the song Oxygen performed by Aesop Rock

Near the end I'm pretty sure he says, "That stairway to heaven's merely a legend so the peasants dream well." not I steer where the heaven's merely a legend. Not sure tho, anyone else hear it??

    ------ About the song None Shall Pass performed by Aesop Rock

I have no doubt. This is truly an amazing artist. The problem is that, although this might make a lot of sense to him, it is hard to find the real meaning by yourself. It is something that is hard to avoid, specially at this level, cus I have made songs myself and i really like the meaning it has for myself and i dont care if the metaphors arent understood.
Anyway, this guy is a frecking genius, I'm european and I see some stuff in the lyrics, such as "Zeitgeist", he's prolly the only american knowing what it means. For those who wonder, and although im not german, i'll tell you: Zeitgeist is the mental fashion of a certain era. The intellectual thoughts, innovations etc that are typical from a certain era.
Anyway, greets to you AESOP ROCK!
