![]() If you know the books of Adams you will understand what I mean. Actually this is really great stuff, lots of double and triple satire. The first part gives a few examples on how "Marvin" gets treated and what he thinks of the world and the beings around him. It's like a message to those who only suffer from life. ![]() In the book you also find god's last message to his creation. "God loves his children" to somebody like "Marvin" must mean that life is not eternal is a proof for the love of god (who in the book is the cat of the universe's regent). ![]() Or like you die and your life which consisted of nothing but depression passes you by in a short sequence, in this case not as a movie but satirically being spoken by a stewardess. Like if somebody leaves life and everything that torured the person is mentioned again. The backing vocals in this sequence remind me of a stewardess talking to flight passenger, a theme that also occurs in the mentioned book. They were the voices of the people Id heard in the bar. The "rain down" sequence is a dream of being released from existence. I was trying to sleep when I literally heard these voices that wouldnt leave me alone. He is a really depressed robot, his emotion chips are malfunctioning and he seems to bear the tragic of the whole universe. (The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy Part I-V, the BOOK, not the movie) Maybe it is about what is going on in Marvins' head. It seems clear that the lyrics were written while reading the mentioned Douglas Adams Book. Phew, it's hard to give a straight interpretation on this. "God loves his children" and He will either relieve them from their sufferings or understand and forgive for whatever they do because of them. In the last two paragraphs, he asks for a solution to all the confusion and madness which surrounds him. Maybe in a way, his "paranoia" gives him an excuse to express his opposition, in a way no sane man would be allowed to do, without facing consequences. In his fantasy, in a world where he will be the king, reality will be reversed and the people which he now hates will be the first to be executed. However, his is not willing to do so ("I may be paranoid but I am not android"). Like Marvin, he is asked to live like an android, without judjement, without opinion, well below the level of his real intellectual capabilities. He is finding it difficult to bear reality, with all the injuctise and materialism which makes him feel disgusted. In my opinion, the song refers to a severely depressed individual who feels that he is starting becaming paranoid and is excibiting psychotic symptoms ("from all the voices of unborn chicken in my head"). I dont' know the book of Douglas Adams, but it makes perfect sense that the title to the song is related to Marvin.
