OK...SO I WAS LISTENING TO DUMB IT DOWN WHILE I WAS AT WORK. I WORK AT A GAS STATION ON THE 3RD SHIFT SOMETIMES BY MYSELF. ON THIS NIGHT, I HAPPENED TO HAVE MY IBOOK WITH ME. ITS MY NEW COMPANION, SORT OF. SO, I'M PLAYING THE TRACK. GREAT ONE MIGHT I ADD. SO, AS IT PLAYS, A COUPLE OF MY OWN METAPHORS POP INTO MY HEAD FOLLOWED BY MORE, AND MORE. TO INSURE THAT I DONT FORGET THEM, I WROTE THEM DOWN. I TOLD MYSELF WHEN DUMB IT DOWN FIRST DROPPED, THAT I WOULDN'T TOUCH THE TRACK BECAUSE IT SO METAPHORICALLY INCLINED AND I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW IF I COULD DO IT AND IT STILL BE GOOD. SO AFTER MUCH DEBATING WITH MYSELF, I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY. THE RESULTS OF THE DUMB IT DOWN EXPERIMENT IS NOW POSTED ON MY PAGE FOR YOU TO EVALUATE. I THINK I DID A GREAT JOB AND HELD MY OWN WITH THE METAPHORS USED IN IT. AND I HAVE NOTICED, IN THE LUPEFIASCO.COM FORUM, THAT USERS TRY TO BREAK DOWN THE LYRICS AND METAPHORS OF THE SONG. SOME OF THE RESULTS ARE PRETTY INTERESTING, WHILE OTHERS ARE TOTALY FLAT OUT STUPID AND MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL. GO AHEAD AND BREAK MY VERSION DOWN. I EVEN IMPRESSED ME WITH IT. I THINK LU WOULD BE PROUD I DIDN'T WRECK THE TRACK.
