Four Puppets deals with the people on the internet. In many forums and threads you find hidden cowards talking shit, bullying and spreading their hatred. I bet face to face those clowns would never have the courage to say even a single line of the garbage they spit online.
What inspired this song is the special case of German online streaming site "Rocketbeans TV" which has to deal with haters and bullies every day. The "beans" as they are called by fans try to run a small, passionate broadcast about nerd culture and invest a lot of time, heart and love into it just to have it torn apart by trolls way to often.
Those people have zero decency or backbone and are the dregs of the internet
lyrics
Lyrics:
Come one, come all, enjoy the play
Five golden coins is all they’ll pay
Four puppets stringed by countless hands
Which bought the rights to lead the dance
Each mask so thoroughly
Hiding personality
Spineless coward’s judging fingers
A hateful spirit that always lingers
Pick to pieces the puppet’s heart
And call it a critique
But make sure to hide your face my friend
Or they’ll string you when it starts again
Come one, come all, enjoy the play
Five golden coins is all they’ll pay
Four puppets stringed by countless hands
Which bought the rights to lead the dance
Every opinion you make known
Reeks of biased undertone
Don't bother asking for the matter
When clearly they know all things better
Blessed with the gift to be disguised
Their purpose is to criticize
Raised their opinion inside a box so small
But what goes up eventually will fall
When all their grudge and taunt is said and done
they'll still be laughing stocks to everyone so
Come one, come all, enjoy the play
Five golden coins is all they’ll pay
Four puppets stringed by countless hands
Which bought the rights to lead the dance
So keep your golden coins
You'd give so righteously
If you think you can buy the right to spoil all of the puppetry
And from a thounsand voices your words may sound the proudest
But while reason's silent idiots will scream the loudest
The last project from the late Jessi Zazu of Those Darlins is fiery, bright rock and roll that's an affirmation of music and life. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 24, 2024
