I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
This is a song for the ugly people,
In our eyes we are all equal.
You didn't chose the way your face looks:
A painted cover to a best selling horror book.
That crooked face upon your neck!
Don't you wish you could give it back?
Well, too bad, cause that's what you've got,
and you can't be something that your not!
This goes out to the ugly people!
I'm one of you, and you're one with Evil!
Deep down inside we're all ugly people,
Contorted muscles and and our mugs are lethal.
They say we're made in god's image,
I think he just went over the edge.
He had some fun and melted some clay,
To get us bastards to look this way.
The one thing we have is style,
You say "NO" but you're in denial.
But look down at your "pantera" shirt,
And all the people in the pit that you hurt!
Score one for the ugly people!
This ones for you, so sing along with Evil!
Deep down inside we're all ugly people,
but so is the queen of england and she still is regal.
Look up, look down, look all around, an ugly one is what you've found.
No taste, no wants, no words, no taunts, no room for any debutants.
Why, I spy an open fly, a hairy bug is what's inside.
An ugly one gives birth tonight, an other one to turn the tide.
I tell you what I'll do for you, I'll take the blame and cook like stew.
I'll be the one to change my face, so the world can be a better place.
I'll hem I'll haw, I'll even caw, but I'll be slapped by a monkey's paw.
I'll do all that just to get paid, and maybe someday I'll get laid.
I think someday I might get lucky,
I'll find a woman who is equally ugly.
We'll live together in an ugly cabin,
We'll have children that will look like their rabid.
But so what, I don't really care,
If i open my palms and find hair.
Thats not the way that you judge your life,
maybe I'll be a rock star with a model wife!
This goes out to the ugly people!
I'm one of you, and you're one with Evil!
Deep down inside we're all ugly people,
But many try to hide it underneath a steeple.
Score one for the ugly people!
This ones for you, so sing along with Evil!
Deep down inside we're all decent people,
except for n'sync, they should be illegal!
In our eyes we are all equal.
