It's the line 'I can tell by the moon in your eyes that you're loved by the tribes...' that gets me thinking. Another name for Nightbreed is "Tribes of the Moon". 'Hook you up to the coil of the one, who makes time with the sun, and who keeps us pumping' could be about the 'Breeds god, Baphomet, who saved the various tribes and brought them together as Nightbreed. Not trying to argue, just promoting discussion. |

Jack Kirby is considered the father of modern comic art. Dave Wyndorf is a big comic fan and some of his songs are inspired by comics he enjoys. Not that this is about any comic I can tell but It all doesn't have to be about drugs does it? |

It's about Galactus. 'I ate all the rest and now I gotta eat you.' A lot of Dave Wyndorf's lyrics are about comics |

| I should've said junkie couple | |
| Monster Magnet – See You In Hell Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think it's about a poor couple with a child. Wife causes kids death, Dad buries kid in landfill, kid comes back for revenge. | |

| Monster Magnet – Gravity Well Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I think it's about the comic Nexus, about an intergalactic executioner for the human race. I haven't read enough to make a sound argument but I know Dave Wyndorf says Nexus is one of his favourites. There was a "Gravity Well" in Nexus that was an unstable power source created by harnessing 3 black holes together. Nexus executed the designer of it for his crimes. Also Nexus' Fusion Power is derived from stars ('there's two suns in the sky today and ones at your door') |

My Bro (an X-Men guru) and I agree that this is most likely about Marvel Comics late '80's crossover, Inferno. Pretty much every Marvel book in New York was involved in defending the city from demon infestation. The core story had the X-Men and X-Factor dealing with the cause, a clone of Jean Grey created by Mr. Sinister named Madelyne Pryor, then wife of Cyclops and the mother of his son (who would grow up to be cable) We got this conclusion from the line "Children of the Atom" a politically correct term for mutant in the early days of X-Men. Also the phrase "Sinner, Sins, Asylum" recalls the play-on-words of the two main demons from the story S'ym & N'Astirh whose names together sound like "Sinister" the mastermind behind most of it. |

I'm 99% sure that this is about the zombie comic Evil Ernie by Brian Pulido & Stephen Hughes. The 'lions den' would be Clearview Mental Institution, NJ where 18 year old Ernest "Evil Ernie" Fairchild has been a patient under the care of Dr. Price for 5 years since he killed his parents and 35 neighbors. He did it all for Lady Death (yeah, that all white chick with big hair, beach-ball sized rack, skimpy lingere) Who promised to love him forever if he killed every living thing on earth. Ernie dreams of overrunning the world with his undead army, and unfortunately, what Ernie dreams, usually comes true. And there are others who have dreamt of what Ernie will do. A new Doc, Mary Young, comes to CMI with a radical cure for EE, Neurotech. LD fucks with it an Ernie dies ("It's Impossible!") Reviving a few hours later with the ability to awaken his newly murdered victims, Evil Ernie begins his quest for Megadeath (Megadeth?) After a couple of setbacks (including a rocket at point blank range) Ernie's got things in full swing. the U.S. has erected a wall on the west side of the Missippi to contain the "Psycho Plague" where Ernie has declared himself President of the Psychotic States of America. Because of an event dubbed the "Pandora Effect" physics have changed giving way to scientific studies of the supernatural. ('the atoms roar and strange love sings') 'Service now, the Mushroom boy...' When Ernie or one of his "Dead Onez" kills a person that victim becomes part of the "Dead Mind" and also becomes a homicidal zombie. Ernie commands the Dead Mind and can make his subjects do anything he wants or read their minds for whatever he needs. (I forgot to mention that Ernest was Telepathic in life, so in death he's Telepathic with the dead) One of Evil Ernie's major goals, though he hadn't reached it when this song was writen, was to launch nukes all over the world starting WWIII ('I've got mushroom clouds in my hands...') When Ernie sleeps, he doesn't dream. Instead his consious is transported to LD's Endless Graveyard which later merges with True Hell. Most people shrug off Evil Ernie as a pointless violent comic, but those who do read it are usually surprised at how well it's written, with recuring themes of child abuse (if only someone had put a stop to Ernie's parents) and a strong narrative structure. Shit this analysis was long wasn't it? |

I think it's inspired by Clive Barker's Nightbreed and Hellraiser stories, specifically the crossover between the two,Jihad. "Tribes of the Moon" and the "one who keeps time with the sun" would be about the 'Breed, and the ones who "stretch the flesh unmovable" would refer to the Cenobites and their extreem peircings. Only confirmation I have is Dave Wyndorf is a huge comic fan who puts numerous references in his songs. |
