Clutch: 10001110101 Meaning

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...

   Don't forget - there are only 10 sorts of people - those who understand binary and those who don't.
   
   Thanks, M.

   There is a long, ancient, sumerian text this is linked to. I've been studying it for years. Before translation, if you cycle through to the 10,001,110,101 word, you come to the first word of this passage: ergah teros undalum meriah phalos gerenta. Which translated means "The way your prophet breaks his bread does not speak the future." Apparently Mephirostus, the writer of the text, was trying to tell his followers that they were stupid to overanalyze his work when he himself had said it means nothing. Clearly, this is no coincidence and the band was warning it's fans to not look like idiots.
   
   The prophets have failed.

   This is the real meaning of the song as told by the lead singer of clutS&T:
   
   Are you a tech-head? You've got a song that looks like binary code ("10001110101") but it doesn't mean anything.
   
   Neil: Yeah it doesn't really mean anything. You know, the fact that it doesn't mean anything has really upset some, a lot of people. I think they're expecting some kind of hidden command. Well the thing is to actually say something in binary code it would have to be a series of ones and zeros that would go on for a considerable length of time.
   
   
   S&T: Right you'd have three and a half minutes of 1-0-1-1-0-1...
   
   Neil: Yeah. You know I might be able to get the word "Hi" in there but I think that might be a little cutesy.
   
   
   S&T: Plus you'd never be able to remember it.
   
   Neil: No, no.

   Clearly this is tab for Neil’s (or maybe Tim?) favorite Slayer song.

   He might have said that it means nothing but Chicago also says that 25 or 64 is not about cocaine and they're full of shit.

   Here's what it actually means if you decode it: 10001110101 = "BOP-bata, bata-bata-bata-BOP; BOP-bata-BOP-bata-BOP.
   
   It's just meter, folks, accents and rests. He could have mumbled any words instead of 'one' and 'zero'. Think about it. "Cat-doggy, doggy-doggy-doggy-cat, cat-doggy-cat-doggy-cat'.

   If you take the number of times that they say 10001110101 in the song (4x) and translate that from binary you get Ž
   
   ±Ö:Ç
   
   Which could be some chemical equation with oxygen bonded to carbon, where oxygen is carrying two extra electrons and carbon has a heavy proton.
   
   No idea what that means but it’s a thing

    Ribonucleic acid is what makes up plants RNA humans have dna.the 10001110101 is binary code for radioactive material.hes talking about irradiated fruits and vegetables.the bake sale of the year could be referencing yellow cake uranium.i think its about all the levels of nuclear poisoning we come in contact with daily,as well as nuclear warfare in general.

    Holy crap guys seriously? 10001110101 base 2 EXACTLY converted to decimal = 1141 base 10. It is Arsenic(radioactive) .. and yes Arsenic is not only a poison but is also an alchemical reference to an evolving substance, which is why the bake sale is referenced.

    As being a computer science major you learn that for binary you can omit the first number if it is a 0. Thus the song is 10001110101 but if you add the omitted 0 it becomes 010001110101 then if you separate the numbers in groupings of 4 (0100 0111 0101) and convert each binary section to hexadecimal you get the numbers 4, 7, 5 which then if you count on the English alphabet gives you DGF. Have a good day.

    It doesn't mean a damn thing folks. By now you should know that Neil Fallon loves to write obscure, crazy shit and let the listeners pull the meenings out of them it's part of the fun listening to clutch. In conjunction with some heavy, ripping guitar and pounding drums you got yourself some good shit people, awesome shit, no matter what niel is saying. My advice would be to buy every single Clutch album ever made and listen to every one of them a thousand times. It'll make your life a little bit better. M.L. South Amboy

    People calling this binary are stupid idiots.
    
    It's 0's and 1's but it does not mean shit.
    
    It's an equivalent to me typing.....
