Mr. Bungle Lyrics

    ------ About the song My Ass Is On Fire performed by Mr. Bungle

I love this song and the lyrics. However I'm confused about the line between "on your face" and "suffocate", it cant be "everythings great". It sounds like only three syllables and nothing like that. This has been the hardest lyric for me to decipher without use of websites such as this in this song. I'm positive it ends with an s and it might be ev-ery-thiings with no great but doubtful. feedback?

    ------ About the song Stubb (A Dub) performed by Mr. Bungle

Bob, what the hell is your problem? What's up with your rash dichotomy of the real world and art? The existence of institutions, arbitrarily divided countries, and so forth are a kind of art too, for they do not exist outside of people's arbitrary symbols that have no real-world or scientific basis.

Rather, let's look at things in terms of perspective:

I think only math and the empirical sciences (more like the computational and bioinformatic) seem to have any "objectivity" associated with them, and obviously, by themselves, they depict a desaturated world of colorless interactions. We have to give our lives significance with our "arts" because otherwise it'll seem lifeless and computational, like looking at the code of software.

In truth, The Matrix is a retarded movie, for there should be another pill that shows the reality of the virtual. All of phenomenal reality, in truth, is constructed, but I believe math and some of the empirical sciences have revealed a world of complex patterns, flux, and emergence.

"How do you know the intented meaning? Do you know the writer? The point of art is for someone to create it in one mind, and for people to view it in a thousand others..."

Man you people that take this shit too deeply are the stupidest fucking people ive ever met. First of all there are a few contradictory things going on in your cheap little mind. 1. If you have to go to school mearly to be trained to see beauty or what you will call it, then it is not beauty or art and you are a pinhead. 2. Being a second hand person, bending over with glee, not having a single original thought, only worshiping others (no matter who they are), having a third rate mind, you will see nothing beautiful or original, only be a 2nd hand clone parroting others or an artists popularity or following. 3. To see something beautiful then put it into words is pointless, but to try to say all this shit about symbolism and sound like an art critic writing a review really drives home the point that someone is lost, 2nd hand, and is just full shit. Total imbecile. If you have a first hand mind you dont even need to talk about how beautiful something is, whether its "art".. it has no significance when its over, and outside of your head. If you give it significance it becomes something different altogether and meaningless. I always feel like im walking with a bunch of these people and very few others when i talk to people into any kind of "art". I hate that word, BTW. Its become butchered, its a stupid word anyways, arts always been artificial bullshit.

    ------ About the song Pink Cigarette performed by Mr. Bungle

Why would the man find penises and vaginas on his bed after his love had left?
Anyone stop trying to figure out metaphors long enough to actually envision a pink, lipstick-stained cigarette?
He mentions lipstick and the "how can i forget your lips were there" wraps it up pretty well.
Or maybe I'm wrong and he found a pink vagina-penis under the pillow.

    ------ About the song Retrovertigo performed by Mr. Bungle

I just came back to this album after a few years on the shelf, and it's really working for me still. With Mr. Bungle I used to disregard the words I couldn't hear as MP tends to go a little nonsensical at times, but when I found these lyrics, I hear this song with a new respect. Bungle fan 4 life!

    ------ About the song Pink Cigarette performed by Mr. Bungle

See what i saw was that it was about obviously a man with a broken heart. but i was under the inpression the "Pink Cigarette" was a vagina. I used that term because it is the scientifical term, not slang. but i also see how it could also be a penis

    ------ About the song Pink Cigarette performed by Mr. Bungle

When my friend told me about this song I thought, "pink cigarette? How hilariously phallic." I listened to it and found two interpretations to the song (for me.) The superficial meaning one might obtain apon first hearing it, a man is heart broken from the separation of his love. Then I listened to it with pink cigarette being a creative metaphor for d**k. Interesting... Read the chorus with that mindset and tell me what you think.

Hey all,
This song baffles me. A beautiful song that with the right production probably a hit single. I know Patton won't normally give in to that type of thing - but I've always wondered about the potential of this song as a mainstream hit witht a few tweaks. Hey, why not bank a few million??

    ------ About the song Vanity Fair performed by Mr. Bungle

Typical Mike Patton song about the situation of the world we're living in today, the rottenness of the modern society and the way people treat each other. Personally I also think someone should ask Robbie Williams if he's a Mr. Bungle fan...
