Guys I've finally figured out the meaning of this song:
Banana is a representative of artillery weapons such as mortars, rpgs, and tanks, while Terracotta is a stand in for ramparts and trenches in which soldiers take cover under. The repetition of successive bananas and terracotta elicits an image of war that we're all too familiar with: firing a weapon and then ducking under a barrier for protection. However, no matter how you use a cannon or how many times you use it, there's only one possible outcome, one singular culmination, namely, an explosion, of which is accounted for in the song by a singular Pie at the end of a verse. For pies are associated with "throwing" and "splattering", much like an explosion or a grenade, it would presumably leave great damage upon those in its range, mutilating and disfiguring the enemies beyond vulgarity, or rather, a "vicinity of obscenity".
"Is there a perfect way of holding you, baby? Vicinity of obscenity in your eyes" Clearly depicts the mental state of the combatants: bereft of morals and subservient to the devastating explosives, no longer wishing for anything else but to kill others. Moreover, the verse "Do we all learn defeat From the whores with bad feet?" suggests that the aforementioned warriors are fighting for a cause, that is to thwart the oppressors that trample and trammel them, the downtrodden. "Beat the meat (beat the meat), treat the feet To the sweet, milky seat" is a metaphor for their hopes and dreams, beating and subjugating their tyrants, all for the sake of their descendants' well-being, hence the "sweet, milky seat". However, the soldiers have lost sight of their goals, worshipping their weapons of mass destruction in deplorable depravity as stated by the first line.
Overall, the song carries an incredible message to us all: that war is never rewarded and those who participate are all fighting an uphill battle, against opponents, but more importantly, themselves. Slaves of destruction whose purpose have been distorted over the monotonous decades of explosions and piles of death encroaching in the corner of their eyes.
BA NA NA NA NA NA TERRACOTA BA NA NA NA TERRACOTA PIE. BA NA NA NA NA NA TERRACOTA BA NA NA NA TERRACOTA PIE. BA NA NA NA NA TERRACOTA BA NA NA NA TERRACOTA PIE. BA NA NA NA NA NA TERRACOTA BA NA NA NA TERRACOTA PIE.
