Ween - The Argus Lyrics Meaning

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

This one is in the final paragraph

Swirling with visions on man's confusion
All of the work, done just to appease him
The Argus he cries, though ***love has it's place in the sun
It's only man's fear that carries him on***

Everyone's been writing songs about how great love is since there have been songs, and love leads to growth, but it STILL sits upon a foundation of Fear. People act as if fear is a negative thing, But it keeps us alive. Fear is the prime motivator of survival. All the way down the evolutionary tree.

Where is a rabbit who doesn't fear a fox?

It's a very general metaphor, not just for the food chain.
