Pounding For Vipers Lyrics

Fun while I'm out tonight
Should I waste or should I sell a line
I'm busting out of my spine
probably come back, probably come away
what's that, is it the pages
what's that, is it the same
hey cat is it fat
is it the terror class in the back

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Should I sell a line" implies a drug deal, but it could also do with "selling" a pickup line to a girl. This along with the previous line "Should I waste", could mean that he's trying to decide how to have fun: whether to get fucked up or hook up with someone (or perhaps both?). Depending on his choice, "busting out" of his spine could mean getting high or having an orgasm (again, could be both?). The rest doesn't make much sense, but "terror class" might be a bad trip that's creeping up on him and who knows "cat is it fat" might be an Ohio euphemism for sex (where these dudes are from there).

Or the whole thing might be nonsense. Either way the guitar riffs are sick.
