The vacuum thing could mean too many different things because it's in a paragraph that references a horror movie. It also makes sense through the last paragraph (seldom need to breathe don't need no wings to fly, fear of fire and water, Clothes of brass, heart of stone). So when the voice that speaks sounds like a synth, I think it's an alien or even synthetic life. I tie it to aliens since there is already another song about an alien word, or an imagined world (Keep it Dark). I tie it in to the paragraph preceding it, so the two make no sense if it's a submarine. The last paragraph I differ with the submarine analogy.

I don't think there is a common theme, or a very loose them throughout the song. Where does the sun go? At night? Does it sink into the ground? Meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud, or end up at the bottom of the sea (if you have an ocean view of the sunset)? To sleep, or go to sleep from the Cajun French 'fais do do. That whole paragraph is about the Sun, like the sun that shines down on earth. A large extinct bird (Raphus cucullatus) that had rudimentary wings useless for flying: formerly found on Mauritius. I'm back in the "Sun he giving life in his light, part of the systemįriend to man, friend to the trees, no friend to the snowmanĭoes he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud It's only living, it don't matter at all, The fruit had a larger pit and less flesh than today’s avocados. 13 The first record of the word Dodaars is in Captain Willem Van West-Zanen's journal in 1602. Some ascribe it to the Dutch word dodoor for 'sluggard', but it is more probably related to Dodaars, which means either 'fat-arse' or 'knot-arse', referring to the knot of feathers on the hind end. Vacuum coming for the bright and the brute.īut it ain't funny, ask the fly on the wall. Wild avocados were appealing to larger animals because it had enough tasty flesh to lure them in and could be eaten in one bite. 86 The etymology of the word dodo is unclear. Who'll end up bein' thrown back in the sea? The research was published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society.Asking questions, says he wants to know why.ĭoes he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud,ĭoes he hope he's too small, to poor a haul, Paleontologist Mark Norell of the American Museum of Natural History in New York explained how the dodo got its reputation: "It had a catchy name, had a ridiculous appearance, was flightless, and because of its lack of fear toward humans, probably due to its isolated habitat, made easy prey: traits which easily could have been attributed to stupidity."īut Norell added, "Intelligence is a very hard quantity to measure." One of the theories behind its etymology is that it comes from the Portuguese word dodo, which means fool or crazy. Their willingness to be driven onto the boats is, I think, what led to people thinking they were dumb. The word dodo from the world’s supposedly least intelligent bird became a slang English word for an unintelligent person. "Why would they fear something they've never seen? They had no natural predators on the islands before humans arrived. Because of this, sailors herded the birds onto their boats for fresh meat later in their voyages. Driven to extinction by 1660sĭriven into extinction largely by human hunting, the last dodo was seen in 1662. Gold said dodos exhibited no fear of humans when people reached Mauritius in the 1500s. The weird-looking, ground-nesting bird had a pointed beak and rounded head, stood about 1 metre tall and weighed up to about 23 kg. The dodo lived on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. "Common pigeons are actually smarter than they get credit for, as they were trained as message carriers during the world wars." "If we take brain size - or rather, volume, as we measured here - as a proxy for intelligence, then the dodo was as smart as a common pigeon," paleontologist Eugenia Gold of Stony Brook University in New York state said. A skeleton of a Mauritius Dodo bird stands at an exhibition in the Mauritius Institute Museum in Port Louis in this Dec.
