Battery Acid

Vaseline has a good interpretation.

I like the 3rd verse: Battery Acid in my viens? Unidentified remains The YES button broke to automatic Irrational doseage of furious static erasing what You are We are

Taking this drug leaves you in a state where you don't know who you are anymore (unidentified remains).

You know longer choose to take the drug. Instead the drug takes you (The YES button broke to automatic).

Not surprisingly, another drug song. Yet this one seems almost like a anti-drug song.

Josh Homme is the spectator here; realising (probably out of experience) how the lives of drug-abusers look like; only looking forward to their next dose, not caring for the rest of the world and forgetting what it is to be really alive. They remain to be robots, brainwashed babies. It leaves them in a world of shit, and at the moment they realise were they are, it’s already to late. Homme doesn’t care, they didn’t want see it (closed eyes never see it coming) and he knows it’s to late to have pity for them. It’s the sadistic twist they never learn; everyone can get his high, you’re nothing special, you’re all robots waiting for the next dose. Running on this battery will only leave you with acid burns…

Awesome song. Well done Queens

Awesome song. Well done Queens

erm, is it just me, or is there missing a piece of the song?

FULL lyrics

Make you into dark, Straight into your heart. Sorry is all you are, I don't really care, I know you are. Robots, robots, Brainwashed babies, Blood from a leech, Spoken rabies, Spastic, plastic, battery acid, Yank on the leash , Draggin you backwards, Oh my, Closed eyes, never see it comin.

There is no thing you can say, You can't wish me away, Every masochist, gets a turn, The sadistic twist, you'll never learn, In battery acid.

Battery acid in my veins - unidentified remains, The yes button broke to automatic, Irrational doseage of furious static erasing what You are,We are.

Jealous, To feel the way you do, To mention, A lie, then call it true, Feel for, Nothing except for yourself, And nobody else, Hanging over the edge.

There is no thing you can say, You can't wish me away Every masochist, gets a turn, The sadistic twist, you'll never learn, In battery acid

Irrational doseage of furious static erasing what You are,YOU WERE.

TO LOVE, To feel the way you do, DEMENTIA, A lie, then call it true, Feel for, Nothing except for yourself, And nobody else, I'M Hanging over the edge!

There is no thing you can say, You can't wish me away Every masochist, gets a turn, The sadistic twist, you'll never learn, In battery acid

the last part he (n Trent) are singing about definitions I guess, I checked it many times

vaseline, I think you nailed it.

While I believe this is probably the worst song on Era Vulgaris (don't get me wrong, the CD's great!) it does get catchy and tolerable after a few listens. That's what I think is the hardest part about enjoying the music on the album. You have to get used to it. I don't think everyone truly understands that. Listen to it, full-length, two or three times and then see if you like it.

This song does my head in! I try so hard to follow the beat but when "Robots! Robots!" and "Battery acid in my veins" comes in I just get lost. Damn clever song to pull that off. Y'feel me?
