I don't know if Scylla's a cannibal
Is she more man or animal?
And at some point are we just splitting hairs?
'Cause cannibalism refers to an act
Where humans break a social contract
And I don't think they have those inside of monster lairs
She's got the face of a woman
But the body of a beast
And by her body I mean
Her six dog feet
And by her feet I mean
Six faces of dog
A little more octopus
And a little less paw
Centaurs don't eat people
But the minotaurs doโ
Or at least the one did
I don't think that there were two
So does it depend upon
If there's a human mouth?
Is she still a cannibal
When eating them down south? (Hm.)
I don't know if Scylla's a cannibal
Is she more man or animal?
And at some point are we just splitting hairs?
'Cause cannibalism refers to an act
Where humans break a social contract
And I don't think they have those inside of monster lairs
So she looks like a woman
But we know she's the daughter
Of Typhon and Echidna
Two famous monsters
Her sis Charybdis
Is really just teeth
I think the answer's no
From family trees
But in other versions
She once was a nymph
Which means she used to beโ
Well, human-ish
Nymphs know 'bout customs
And they tend to respect them
Does growing six more heads
Give you free reign to reject them?
I don't know if Scylla's a cannibal
Is she more man or animal?
And at some point are we just splitting hairs?
'Cause cannibalism refers to an act
Where humans break a social contract
And I don't think they have those inside of monster lairs
And like, Scylla's a manifestation
Of a cultural anxiety
But which one does she represent?
That's what has been troubling me
Is she the fear of sharp rocks
Or the dangers at sea
Or a pretty woman
With something sinister underneath?
She's a metaphor, see
But more literally
She's a very pretty lady
With six dogs for feet
Views have shifted since the Greeks
And I don't think I'll get the answer
'Cause my polling pool's corrupted
By these people who'd romance her
I don't know if Scylla's a cannibal
Is she more man or animal?
And at some point are we just splitting hairs?
'Cause cannibalism refers to an act
Where humans break a social contract
And I don't think they have those inside of monster lairs
Is she more man or animal?
And at some point are we just splitting hairs?
