Guernica has an important history and Hunter sings of the analogous manner in which his songwriting works which is similar to painters. Ian maintains that the words write themselves as paintbrushes and colors inform the artist. It's as if creative people have their antennae out and they receive messages. The actual painting by Pablo Picasso, as in the song Michael Picasso, is a large 1937 oil painting. It is one of his best-known works and regarded by many art critics as the most moving and powerful anti-war painting in history. It is exhibited in the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. Picasso’s motivation for painting the scene in this great work was the news of the German aerial bombing of the Basque town whose name the piece bears, which the artist had seen in the dramatic photographs published in various periodicals, including the French newspaper L'Humanité. Despite that, neither the studies nor the finished picture contain a single allusion to a specific event, constituting instead a generic plea against the barbarity and terror of war.

I just wanted to tell you I love you.
I just wanted to tell you I care
I saw you today on Humante
I just want you to know that I’m there
Gotta whole other world standin’ next to me
Little angels directing my hands
They won’t let me choose from the colors I use
They want violet ‘n’ black like Cezanne
The rage inside is hard to hide – a rabid orchestra
When I painted Guernica
These are dangerous time for a thinker
I’m a stranger in a strange land
If you think for yourself – you’re a traitor
It’s like walkin’ on quicksand
So I work in the shadows of uncertainty
Waitin’ for that knock on the door
A Gauleiter says, “Is this your idea?”
I said, “No, I thought it was yours”
Just to throw ‘em off track – I went all the way back
To Minotauromachy
Then I painted Guernia
Fly away – fly away – from distorted times
That scream and whine in the meadows
Fly away – fly away – from your worst nightmare
As you disappear into the shadows
Fly away – fly away – from your broken bones
Fly away – fly away – from evil
This picture screams of fractured dreams
Fly away – fly away to freedom
This picture is a chamber of horrors
This picture is a crucifixion
It will hang on the walls of eternity halls
It will never be forgiven
N’ my hands veil the truth behind images
This picture is tryin’ to explain
If its anger smashes into your consciousness
Then this picture will not be in vain
The canvas smells of rusted shells –
I created a monster when I painted guernica
I just wanted to tell you I love you
I just wanted to tell you again
I saw you today on __________
I just want you to know that I'm there Got a whole other world standing next to me
Little angels directing my hands

They want violence and black like Cezanne
The rage inside is hard to hide
I _______________
