Story-Told

**Story-Told** is a song by experimental artist, Yakey Tamarrack, released on November 6th, 2021. The song is a single from the unreleased album, *Yakey Tammaracks Album*. It is the first song Yakey ever released.

## Cover artwork

The artwork is the first appearance of the man who appears on every single Yakey Tamarrack cover art (with the exception of Yakey Tammaracks Album's cover art). The man is wearing sunglasses and a buttoned up suit with a strangely proportioned X shape in the top left of the suit.

The background is completely black and the man is standing next to a road, which most likely is symbolism that represents Daroll driving away at the end of the song.

### Original & yellow line version

Along with Fire Rapongus, Story-Told originally used a more blurry version of the current cover art. The artwork was remastered on April 28th, 2022. The remastered artwork made the cover less blurry and pixelated, and also added a glow effect.

During the creation of the album art, Yakey experimented with the idea of adding a yellow line to the road on the cover, however Yakey decided to stick with the original "white line" version.

## Lyrical themes

### Story synopsis

The song is about a man named Daroll (portrayed by Adam Driver). The song begins with Daroll driving and getting in a fatal car crash.

Following this, the song cuts back to the events that occurred prior to the crash. An unnamed man (presumably a friend of Daroll) tells him to consume a dog, the man tells Daroll that consuming the dog would prove his strength.

Daroll drives away from the man, and begins questioning if he made the right decision. As Daroll drives away, he remembers all of the old things the man said to him. This is when the car crash takes place in the story. Daroll died in the crash.

### Interpretations

There are many interpretations about the meaning of Story-Told's lyrics. One of the three prevailing theories says that the song is about "betrayal".

The "betrayal" theory states that during the song, Daroll is told to consume a dog by his friend, Daroll took this as his friend betraying him to try to get him to commit a horrible action. Some people believe that this interpretation is false, since the song says that the friend tried to get Daroll to consume the dog to prove his strength, leading many people to believe that the friend was trying to get Daroll to consume the dog out of care for his well-being, rather than to betray him.

The second theory is about how the song makes you question morality of certain actions, and about seeing both sides of stories. People who believe this theory say that it's up to interpretation on whether the friend was betraying Daroll or not.

The third and final interpretation is about how the song has no meaning and that it's just a stupid song made by a stupid person.

## Lyrics

It was at this moment that he knew...

NO!

He fucked up

Earlier today

SHUT UP!

Mmmh

Society. Where do we go? Not here

Find inspiration

Imma woop yo ass!

Don't forget where you came from now

We all got a story

Cracker, don't hate hate me cause I'm beautiful cracker

Maybe if you got rid of that old yee-yee booty haircut you'd get some dogs on yo leash

Or better yet, maybe Tanisha will call your dogface if she stops fartin' on that brain surgeon or lawyer she messin' with

Cracka'

Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it

But the better question is

Would you eat it?

NO!

Are you strong enough

To consume something that you really don't want to

Daroll, I really think you should

Daroll, don't you be driving away from me

Get back here

I tell you, you hop in that car and I won't see you one last time

And I promise you that

Daroll!

DAROLL!

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

All the times, that I called you a big boy

I fed you, chocolate

I gave you.. wood (no)

When you needed to floss your teeth

And you didn't have arms, because you tied them on the chair-

I tied them on the chair. Who flossed it for you? I did

And you're really gonna run away from me now!?

Daroll, think about it. You haven't even learned how to drive

Just because you think you're a big boy, with the big gun

Do you really think, you can go drive?

(Hey come back here you big monkey!)

You're 19

You're gonna be a good kid, Daroll

A good kid

We're no strangers to love

You know the rules and so do I

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I ju-
