| I'm inclined to think this is about love. But only someone who 'thinks' they are in love. | |
| At the Drive-In – One Armed Scissor Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Guys, guys... think about it. It IS about being on tour, yes, but it's so much more than that. Is about shooting up to relieve pain whilst on tour. The One Armed Scissor is a needle - only one sharp side. All the lyrics sound like slipping into oblivion because maybe that's what it feels like when you're strung out on heroin. "banked on memory mummified circuitry" His mind doesn't work properly anymore and neither does his body. "bubbles in an IV loitering" IV = Intravenous, e.g. shooting a drug straight into a vein. "black out the vultures as they wait" The vultures are imagery to say that's there's every possibility you could die everytime you take a hit... even though by taking a hit, he's blacking them out - thinking he probably won't be able to feel it if he does die. "jagged pulp sliced in my veins i write to remember 'cause i'm a million miles away will you get this letter" Maybe he writes to remember because you can't really remember much when you're high on any drug? He's speaking to his sober self saying 'will you get this letter?' Anyway, that's my view. Take it or leave it! Peace. |

Genius song. Feels good to hear one of your favourite bands make a song about the shit you go through yourself. |

I think clyroBiffy is correct. Sounds to me like a breakup song with a Great Fire of London analogy. |
