Discover the story of the song > An Elegant Chaos – Julian Cope

The protagonist of the song was happy at home, but now feels like the joke is over and is looking down at the bad things happening in the world. He feels frustrated and sighs at the ignorance that people have. When someone gave him a gift, he felt cautious because he wasn't sure if he was forced into it or if it was something he wanted to try. He feels stuck in the middle and is afraid of losing something he finally enjoys. The protagonist sees people as just like cows on the grass, but being around them makes him feel more like a man. Despite the chaos, he stands to one side and observes everything.
