Interpretation
"Tutenchamun" by
HGich.T is an absurd and humorous song that depicts the protagonist's interaction with the police and his experiences with drugs. The lyrics are very repetitive and contain many affirmations of Yes! Yes!, which creates a hypnotic effect.
The song plays with different themes and symbols, including ancient Egypt (through the mention of Tutenchamun and the cry of "Tut Tut"), Indian mysticism (Shiva, Goa), and elements of fairy tales (elf ears, lightsabers).
In most cases, the protagonist seems to maintain control of the situation and tries to deceive the police with innocent excuses. However, there are also moments of fear and desperation when he seeks help and fears arrest.
The constant repetition of "Goa Goa" can be seen as a reference to Goa Trance music, known for its psychedelic sounds and connections to the drug experience.
In addition to the humorous and absurd portrayal, there is also social criticism of the system, portrayed as the problem, and the "boring pigs" who follow the rules and don't listen to Goa.
Overall, the song can be seen as a humorous and absurd representation of the protagonist's experience with drugs, the police, and the system, depicted through absurd imagery and hypnotic repetitions."
