Black Albino Bones Lyrics
Embracing the purity, the purity of obscurity,
Try to capture the name as it spins in your mind,
Follow it with our eyes,
The dizzy epiphany discovered an artifact of my own,
It's the little things that get us through life,
Until we both ejaculate ride the wave
As a little dies, the orgasmic of the fantastic,
We well up, and then we explode!
It's the little things that get us through life,
Take it in the inhalate, inhalate what escalates,
Hold the vapor deep down inside the toxic fumes,
Initiate the levitate,
We slowly start to drift off,
It's the little things that get us through life

I think the first verse is about records. Vinyl, you know? Some lines, not so much, but the "purity of obscurity" and the line about "try to capture the name as it spins" or whatever, it all makes me think of records and record players. And I know a few of the guys in this band are obsessed with record collecting. Haha.
Oh holy fucking shit...the song is about:
Oh holy fucking shit...the song is about:
a)Rock n roll
a)Rock n roll
b) sex
b) sex
c)drugs
c)drugs
I've heard this song at least thirty times before that dawned on me.

I've been trying to figure out the first verse ever since I heard this record for the first time. I knew verses two and three were about sex and drugs, respectively, but the first verse never made sense until now. Thanks.

Before introducing the song on "Coke Sucks, Drink Pepsi": "This song goes out to anyone who collects records."

What an awesome song. It seems to be about the little pleasures in life. The second verse is about sex and the last is about smoking weed. I'm not sure what the first is about though.

yer this song is about pleasure, and vikings 1902 is right but i dont get the name

Black albinos are hunted by other africans for their purported magical properties. Which, of course, is bogus. The singer is straight edge, so I guess the lyrics are about chasing "fake highs".
Compare the song to David Comes To Life, which could be interpreted as a story about a man who uses drugs as a shortcut to a higher conscience.

so basically it about sex, drugs and rock & roll
Or a very small penis:)

I'm sorry, but when they are so young they have nothing to compare it to everything looks larger and better;)

Ehhh, I disagree.
The first verse could be interpreted to be about record collecting, even by Fucked Up's own admission, but it is actually about man's inventive nature or problem solving skills (science).
"Rubbing stones together" is how we made fire and got out of the dark ages- using our imagination. "Try to capture the name as it spins in your mind" could reference a spinning record, but more likely tries to describe the abstract idea of thought. It is a continuation of the Hidden World concept from their first album. An imagine in one's mind crossing through the hidden world into symbolic speech- giving something a name.
I will agree that record players were created using human thinking so it does make sense, but indirectly.
