More Human Than Human

White Zombie

Yeah, I am the Astro-Creep
A demolition style hell
American freak, yeah
I am the crawling dead
A phantom in a box
Shadow in your head, say
Acid suicide
Freedom of the blast read the fucking lies, yeah
Scratch off the broken skin
Tear into my heart, make me do it again, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

More human than human
More human than human
More human than human

More human than human
More human than human
More human than human

Yeah, I am the jigsaw man
I turn the world around with a skeleton hand
Say, I am electric head
A cannibal core, a television said, yeah
Do not victimize
Read the motherfucker psychoholic lies, yeah
Into a psychic war
I tear my soul apart
And I eat it some more, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

More human than human
More human than human
More human than human

More human than human
More human than human
More human than human

Yeah, I am the ripper man
A locomotion mind, love American style, yeah
I am the Nexus-One
I want more life, fucker
I ain't done yet

More human than human
More human than human
More human than human
More human than human

More human than human
More human than human
More human than human
More human than human

    I used to take a lot of acid in high school, back in the 90's, and it seems to me Rob Zombie did too. And when on acid, different music lets you see different visuals. The whole seeing sound thing. and i listened to la sexorcisto, but never astro creep while tripping. But, Zombie would through me into the wickedest power-trips, projecting the craziest scenes all around. but, this song seems like it's trying to evoke a bad-trip, or even suicide if someone were on enough acid. good thing bands can't get sued or prosecuted for that stuff anymore. "A Phantom in a box" might suggest to someone, on acid, that there's a live entity in the radio. "Shadow in your Head" might suggest possession. "acid Suicide freedom Of the blast" might suggest to someone on a bad-trip, that just wanted it to be over, that they would find freedom through the blast of a gun. Wow, that's actually really f%#cked up. Or is it just me?

    The song is about the movie Blade Runner (or maybe the book it's based on). "More human than human" is a line from the movie, and all the verses are describing characters and plot points from the movie. "I want more life" is also a line from the movie.

    Seems to me this song really doesn't mean anything; Rob Zombie songs are famous for this as well. It kind of reminds me of Dragula, though, as they are both like an anthem basically saying "I'm evil snd cool. You must headbang to this song... You cannot resist!!!" I mean this in the best possible way, of course.

    Well, reading the lyrics again, it just reminded me of someone who is an outcast in society or a criminal and doesn't stop being self destructive because they must follow that path... reminds me of a lot of teenagers I know, actually. It's always up for interpretation, though.

    Great song, and although It may mean nothing, I see it as a way of defining a viscious human being... Perhaps someone like Hitler (if he had progressed further)... It's about chaos, tearing the world apart, and lying....

    Like most White Zombie songs it's just about death and destruction, I'm sure some of it may mean something to Rob but mostly it's just a collection of things.
