Pretty sure this song is the classic "epic take on something mundane", in this case a pillow fight between two friends ("a rivalry between former collaborators"), one of whom somehow acquired the nickname "The Velvet Ape". The "violet cape of the Velvet Ape" is probably one kids' favorite blanket or something. -- FriendlyLocalGeek (talk) 09:29, 7 July 2015 (EDT)
To me, this one's about the move towards earnestness away from irony. The Velvet Ape takes over, but with kindness, rather than violence. - Rev. Syung Myung Me (talk) 21:30, 8 July 2015 (EDT)
