I think maybe by taking a picture and publicly showing trace where their bodies have once been, because it's now an image as an album cover and part of what "Death Grips" is, it's an inanimate sensation or intangible power that now pulls us to this location and something as trivial as taking a picture can cause another to identify a certain location as "special" or more significant than any other location even though the reality is a floor lamp is no more significant or meaningful or valuable than any other place anyone could possible be. That's what they mean when they say they "have the powers that be running through me [them]". These images ultimately get fetishized by us. Death Grips is trying to play with this idea and rub these powers that be in our face by making a floor lamp as the album cover. I think this has relevance to what they maybe are trying to say with most of the double-album. People have false ideas about what is reality and what's not so how can ever not question where our values lie? You never know really why people identify with the things they do and why they fetishize and covet the things that they do. (These things will inevitably be exploited by being made commodifiable where the consumer is then manipulated by their own will.) - Things like that. This is just my theory though. I think the cover is meant to be very conceptual and also it shows the fact that the members were embodying "Death Grips" wherever they went and felt as if anything at any moment could be used to manifest themselves and their artistic ideas. They found these facets of knowledge and truth in every little thing around them and they wanted to show that through taking a picture of a simple fucking floor lamp they stood by for probably no more than a few hours in their lifetime. Sorry for the rant but I asked the question so that felt I had to answer it myself after giving it some thought.
