| At the Drive-In – Shaking Hand Incision Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
Cedric: For "Shaking Hand Incision", it's one of those things where the lyrics are open to interpretation, you know. Alot of them are just scribblings that I've put down, as far as the one's I've written. Tony's written some words and so has Jim, but with "Shaking Hand Incision" this kid was asking me at a show, "What's that song about?" and I told him, "when I wrote it, I'd just come from the hospital and gone through some surgery, and it's loosely bassed around that." And to him, it was about abortion. And when I think about the lyrics now, it hits it dead on. I didn't even intrentionally do it that way, it was so weird.
Paul: It changed his life
Cedric: Yeah, for him, it hanged his life...
Jim: He said that he had been sleeping around alot and not really thinking heavily about his decisions, and after he listened to that song, it made him think about what he was doing and it totally changed the ways he was living and thanked us for it. |

It's probably the most straight dforward atdi. |

Cedric said before playing this live:
"This is a street name in our hometown, and directly across that street, you can see the shanty town of Mexico, 'cause we are a border town where we come from, And it's funny when bands come into town and they think theyre going to play them shanty towns and play their sounds to the native indians people, and it's funny how theyre not *un-inteligible* in the first place. This is dedicated to friends in our hometown, and all the *un-inteligable* that hang over the shanty towns and all the people we see over there"

This song is definitly about abortion. Just read the lyrics.
'Fondling with pitchforks
In a cattle prodding team
signaling the sedatives
to emmaciate their queen'
The cattle proding team are doctors with their 'pitchfork' or sergical tools.
Emmaciate means to make thin so having an abortion will make you thinner.
'No one's getting out
Of the fetal camps alive'
fetal camp = womb
No-one = fetus' |

This song is about a kid from texas who's name was Bradley and his dad would always wake him up early in the morning. Not your usual atd-i style songn and the lyrics are extremly straight forward, but true non the less. |
