Handlebar fanatic
Have you listened to 'Handlebars' by Flobots?
This song is creepy. Illustrates how a genius fanatic goes about glorifying himself and what he can do. He starts off with small stuffs like 'riding the bike with no handlebar' to controlling the release of vacinations (which presumably only he possess) to save life or 'let them die of exasperation', make his enemies go to prison on his will, to guiding a missile via a telescope and end a planet in a holocaust. Essentially this rabid person just wants to conquer and control everything la.
Below is extract of the lyric
'My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure'
That's what evil-doers often preach to justify their sins, that their cause is noble. If you read harry potter, that was what dumbledore and grindelwald(dunno how to spell) had in mind initially, to 'change the earth into a better place'. I'm heavily influenced by HP series btw.
The tone in his voice is unmistakeably one of intense angst, lofttiness and an intense resentment towards society. Just like a rabid fanatic who only wants to conquer the planet. Scary..
