Deep lyrics are found in places other than prog, you know. I'll give examples from one of my favorite non-prog bands, and we'll have a little discussion on their meaning.
Here's a section I'm currently working on deciphering: You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down Ow, we want the funk La la la la laFeel free to discuss what you think the meaning of these lyric is. |

>I wants to get funked up. (wants to get funked up)
The trailing 's' in 'I wants...' clearly indicates that the poet was influenced by Gollum's punch line "I wants it, my precious...." |

It seems to me that both of these lyrics are about a person who's
obsessed with "the funk". However, it's probable that the funk has a
deeper meaning than you'd think. The first verse of the second song
seems to suggest that the funk is something really powerful that comes
from
far away, sort of like a gift from the heavens. That said, it seems
strange to me that in the second verse the speaker of the poem still
desires the funk, when he's already received "500 000 kilowatts of
P.funk-power". I think the message of both of these songs is that once
you become addicted to funk you will never be satisfied with the amount
of funk you've got; even 500 000 kilowatts of funk is not enough.

Gang of Four sang "Love will hit you like a case of anthrax, and that's something I don't want to catch".
