Aesop Rock - Flashflood Lyrics






"We'll have more news after this commercial word"

(As so it goes..)

"At least I think I was here asleep...
Is it possible, conceiveable that I sleepwalked out of my apartment
And went berzerk?"

[Aesop Rock]
In slipped rhythm
Fed a cycle bound by dilemma-debting vendetta
Escaped briefly back to my apartment
Parked in front the fan
And reminesce about the day I ran a mile with your heart in my hand
'Tesants get the New York home game
With real life shoot-em-up action
Thug, vagrant, yuppie, and art
Free game piece all included
I told this cat the earth was flat
He walked till his beard grew long enough to strangle himself for being stupid
Brick-a-back novelty
Spliced with that sixth pack odyssey
Godspeed Tequilla worm future, be concerned
My feelings spread across the land reporting avalanche sightings
While my introverted side is flying cadavers on kite strings
I'ma never give, I'm juiced off ejection
I'm stubborn as a thousand born agains avoiding questions
From the alpha to the sand
I bake the date up for my pledge
To 'bay the traitor in the twice-forgotten favors that he bled
Not a creature stirred, it reaks of subway metal
Feather lecture journalist chin on fish shenanigans
Recording mayhem with voices
Benefit to break room
Mummified manequins with future cleanse adamant
And skeleton in cabinet
This a Malcom circus, got a ring of fire
Just big enough to shove my purpose in a circle
I'm known to dip dusk in a broken city curfew
Release the hounds and see which one can tractor trail and serve you SUCKA!
I lay the Lord down upon its belly
With my foot dug in between the third and fourth disk
Yelling 'Break yo'self!'
I'm the actualized data commission past penny tip jar donation
Been arranged, made by the farfetch from stability
Took a heart pledge early on
Bled onto the drum doser
Plow in the metronome, home
Lone caddy corner to cock-eyed sound booster
Sensation'll leave siesomgraph stabbin away on stone tablets
To sketch up out your future
I drifted out the main spelunking unit with watered down sand
But have canceled developed, courtesy America
Land of the free base
Home of the triplicate grill character
My sorta sideways tilt called pinball blinker
It citizens wander through ex-warrants steady bleed
With dilapadated winter jacket
I rock a crooked lid piece
A sweat a bit to make my Wookie ends meet
Pascifist willing to step into a friend's beef if needed
Wing clipper, I hierarch compassionate
Where they whine on some 'Daddy's gonna kill Ralphy' shit
Sucked the proverbial silver spoon to the parents quit apparently
Parasol spinnin casually like 'I'm an artist, please don't laugh at me'
Ok, time to buckle the fuck down
Side of the wobbly system back to original form, pumpkin
You can catch the memoir in several dimensions
The joy of life logic, don't employ the spite process
Hence, your plight botches

"I don't know what got into me
I didn't even cause all that destruction
I'm sorry...so sorry"

[Chorus 4x]
This be the big
F-L-A-S-H-F-L-O-O-D, Flashflood

"Possible" "Conceivable"
"Possible" "Conceivable"
"Possible" "Conceivable"
"Possible" "Conceivable"
"Possible" "Conceivable"
"Possible" "Conceivable"

"That I sleepwalked out of my apartment and went berzerk?"

    “My sorta sideways tilt caught pinball blinker” — damn I wish I understood that.

    H.... ....

    I'm late but there's a mechanic in pinball machines that forfeit your game by locking the flippers if you tilt the machine too much.

  2. E.... N....

    All i have to say is Shame on me i use to rock all of Rhymesayers back 11 12 years ago got away from it for a while but never again.

  3. R.... R....

    he went berserk

  4. T.... ....

    Where did you get the book???????????

    T.... ....

    It came with "Fast cars, danger, fire, and knives."

  5. J.... F....

    This be the big F L A S H F L O O D

  6. T.... ....

    @yugo91aesop I think your interpretation merely touches on one of the themes displayed. He includes homelessness in what ends up being a mosaic of degenerate America. Saying essentially that America at large is misled by belief. Hence the religious references throughout the song. 

    T.... ....

    +ThatsMrDeth2You Same shit in prosperity, or pretty much anything from his lsd days..

  7. N.... B....

    Love Aesop.

  8. T.... ....

    The thing I like about Aesop's music is that not only do his lyrics mean something personal to himself, an outside source can interpret the same exact lyrics and give it their own personal meaning. That in itself is crazy

  9. S.... T....

    He's hard to understand but if you look at the general theme of the song its about someone's life gradually deteriorating to the point of living out on the streets and becoming homeless. Listen to it again with this in mind and the metaphors begin to make more sense, at least for me.

  10. X.... ....

    One my favs along with abandon all hope and golpher guts

  11. A.... C....

    Best hip hop instrumental ever

  12. b.... f....

    Crazy world when corny captions over kitten pics hit for millions.... true art gets what 1327?? Ignorance is bliss and the masses are ecstatic

    b.... f....

  13. D.... S....
