Satan Is My Motor Lyrics
Heres my take and only because Im going through it right now.
Its about a guy who goes all out for his friends, one in particuler a girl He listens to everything they say, always there for them and for her more than any he takes on there burdens to "lighten the load" so to speak. But for her this has a special significence.
He loves her, and it burns inside of him, his intentions are good, he wants to be a good friend but hwe wants her and lusts after here.
Only Satan understands. That lust for something you cant have.
@justmehere I just saw the band live the other night in Kansas City. He actually addressed the lyrics of this song. He said Im not singing about satan, it's a metaphor for people that seem nice and good but everyone has a that dark side.

I think it's about the contradictions between who we want to be and what we actually end up being/doing. It can be pretty depressing sometimes...When I first heard this song I thought it was about a model citizen who wanted to break free and be "bad", so to speak. But I like XKillerX's interpretation, too.
SATAN IS EVERYTHING FUCKED UP IN THE WORLD . AN A MOTOR IS a nonspecific agent that imparts motion
the car is a metaphor for a misguided kid going through life. the car looks fine on the outside drives fine helps out dudes friends . BUT under his hood is internal combustion . in other words hes going through a interior conflict on weather or not to do the right thing.. whatever that might be.
Alright, this is just what I think this song is about: It's about a guy who has good intentions, but in the end, he does bad things because it "drives" him, so to speak. He's telling this girl that he's trouble.
I like your interpretation.

My mom took my Cake CD away from me when she heard this song.
Ask your Mom why she doesn't like awesome songs

I know how you feel, Thunderbolt. When my mom heard this, and "nugget" she took my mp3 player and threw to the back of the car. But a very good song. Their new cd should be out in july/august hopefully. I wish they would tour more. Their shows are great.
I see this song as a very humorous joke, making fun of everyone who brags about how cool their car is, to me it's like saying, "Oh yeah? Well, Satan is MY motor!"
burningflamingfire makes a good point.. no, not that he's always right. it's saying "i may be a knight in shining armor, and do chivalrous things, but remember that i have needs too". another great song, i think it could have used an incredible bass line like some other ones have.
this song has always bothered me a little bit.
