Whale

This song can have a few meanings. Quoting one other contributor who commented, “This song is usually seen as a joke but this part is interesting. In many Native American cultures, eating whales is a very common practice. “You get a piece of the whale” could be referring to the harmony and social practice of feasting on whales. This part of the song is often seen as brutal or out of pocket but I think that it’s actually kind of sweet.” This could be the meaning of the song, but who knows, it could all be a metaphor, or have no meaning at all, it just sounds cool. This song could be a metaphor about the feeling of liking something so much, that you want to take pieces of it and make it a part of you. You share this likable part of yourself with others, to be able to also be liked as much as you liked the thing. You share parts of yourself with others, and soon, these pieces of you start to turn into something new and original. “I’m gonna fry mine with cinnamon and a pear” this shows that there is still a part of the “whale” with you, but it now has changed and grown into something new.
