"A primary explosive is something that is very sensitive to stimuli, and I think it's a fairly good way of describing the rattlesnakes. The song is about star dust and realising your own potential. It's about people telling you what to do, and you telling them to go fuck themselves. It's about making your own mistakes and being a better person because of them.
Most of this song was written while watching a boxing match at 3am and thinking about how beautiful my daughter is."
