10001110101 Lyrics

Ribonucleic acid freak out, the power of prayer.
Long halls of science and all the lunatics committed there.
Robot Lords of Tokyo, SMILE TASTE KITTENS
Did you not know that the royal hunting grounds are always forbidden?
Are you rolling...

    00000100 01110101 converted to ASCII is the letter "u". You drop the preceding zeros before the 100. Now the letter "u" in the periodic tables is uranium.

    When he says "Uranium" Periodic table with a center piece of mind… he's talking about the Atomic Bomb.

    Ribonuclic acid I believe is a reference to the DNA of the people who suffered Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    Between my computer friends and I ... we first discovered that it doesn't mean a thing in binary code.
    I, not a geek but Linux is my code, am of more of the medical/psy/scientific nature, w/ 3 degrees....
    state that the "periodic table" has everything to do with it along with the normal Clutch message that is given in all of their songs.
    Anyone remember Elephant Riders? ->> Potomac History lesson.
    Anywhoooo.... I do believe that there is a message that reveals we should never over analyse things (e.g. The Bible or other teachings/speeches).
    One must find their destiny within themselves and be prepared to be proactive in their goals & dreams.
    WE the People are going to kill our future and the future of our off-spring. United we stand - DIVIDED we FALL, no matter what culture, creed, belief, language, country
    We are all connected by one binary code - carbon base molecular life ...

    I agree that this song is a tribute to the band Rush...In addition to "Temple of Syrinx" being a song on the 2112 album, Rush also has a song called "The Body Electric" about a robot that is trying to "change his program" and the chorus of that song is "1001001 SOS...1001001 in distress". Pretty clear reference if you ask me considering the Clutch song references "robot lords of Tokyo".

    this song is about something that "NEVER" happens.

    there is no salute to a K.I.A. special forces agent

    it never happens

    the message is binary

    it is a signed integer

    1 is the sign (a 1 is a minus sign) (man down)
    0 ...
    0 ...
    0 ...
    1 64
    1 32
    1 16
    0 --
    1 04
    0 --
    1 01

    64+32= 96

    96 + 16 = 112

    112+ 4= 116

    116+ 1 = 117


    F 117A stealth fighter

    It's the end of the world as we know it.

    did you not know that the ROYAL hunting grounds are always FORBIDDEN?

    the most deadly fire is friendly fire.

    life goes on.

    look up some of the special forces apache videos in iraq

    seems like those guys live to kill don't it?

    is that what America is about? POACHING?

    first the buffalo now the neighboring countries

    I don't see the purpose for spraying an unarmed man with a fifty calibre machine gun in the dark with night vision.

    look up the song with the lyrics "hand on heart" by queensryche.

    it's a good one.

    it's the end of the world as we know it.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    The part of the song before the first "10001110101" appears to be the output of a Markov Chain Algorithm.

    I'm not sure if that counts as a song interpretation, but it seems to me like a good explanation of "Robot Lords of Tokyo, SMILE TASTE KITTENS!"

    So it sounds to me like noone is attempting to interpret the whole song, but everyone's focused on the numbers. Here's what I've come up with: The song is about a time where horrible robots are in control of human society. Among the robots one arises (or is built, or whatever) who is sentient and has cognitive thought beyond it's mere programming. It's only a matter of time before a religion is started, worshipping this giant metal man as a god. Churches have their usual fundraisers and other activities in the name of the new and almighty god, 10001110101. That's right, I think it's the name of the robot god!

    I think it sounds like Morse code dot,dash,dash,dot,dot dot dot.

    Please just read the lyrics.
    THE WHOLE SONG MAKES NO SENSE.
    None of it.
    But I still like it.

    The binary numeral system, or base-2 number system represents numeric values using two symbols, usually 0 and 1. More specifically, the usual base-2 system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Owing to its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used internally by all modern computers.

    A binary number can be represented by any sequence of bits (binary digits), which in turn may be represented by any mechanism capable of being in two mutually exclusive states. The following sequences of symbols could all be interpreted as the binary numeric value of 667:

    actually while the band says it doesn't mean anything, i find it might be an atomic weight for one of the larger atoms, which would be some sort of heavy metal, a pun of sorts... just a thought...

    about the whole 6x thing... If you seperate it out into eights (like binary is supposed to be) you would have to take out two numbers... but when you do it just translates to, "?±Ö:ÇXë"

    Yeah, I think they were just trying to make us lok retarded by searching for what it means xD

    What if you look at it in the way it is spoken in the song?

    10 0011 10101

    just my thought

    I always thought it was "Cyric's", Cyric being another name for Circe, who slipped a potion into her enemy's food and turned them into pigs.
