White Zombie – More Human Than Human

General CommentI 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?

General CommentI believe this is also a take on the 1954 sci fi Novel by Theodore Sturgen "More than human" which is about a group of people with evolved powers, that can band together to be a "superhuman power" and discover anti gravity. They also murder one of thier members and drive another insane. great book

  i believe he is using horror movie imagery to convay a deeper meaning about human nature. our deepest desire is to be better than everyone else ie.. to be more human than human. brilliant in my opinion.

General CommentSeems 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.

General CommentWell, 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.

General CommentGreat 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....

General CommentLike 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.
