Negasonic Teenage Warhead

It's basically a backlash against the grunge scene. The verses from what I can gather don't have anything to do with the overall meaning of the song, the clinch is the lines. "Cause every Supersonic Jerk-off who plugs into the game"

• Referring to the amount of "negative" rock bands coming out of the woodwork after the success of "Nevermind". "Is just like every subatomic genius who just invented pain"
• Basically talking about all the young guys in these bands moping about as if no-one else has ever been depressed and un-happy.

I'm not sure if it's a direct attack on, say Nirvana, or more an attack on the bands that began to appear in the wake of their success. Monster Magnet are very much products of the 60's and 70's, when Rock music was more about rebelling, taking drugs & having a good time. So understandably they'd be critical of the "mopey", "angsty" direction rock was heading.

Sorry folks, wrong on all counts. The song is about rock stars who are negative. It's basically a retort to all the rock lyrics about depression, sadness, etc. There's a lot of irony in it. "Every supersonic jerkoff who plugs into the game" and "every subatomic genius who just invented pain" refer to whiny musicians who hate themselves.

it's also a backlash against the grunge culture in which every song seems to be about sadness.

If you ask me, I've always thought this song was about a day spent playing a MUSH, MOO or MUD... some sort of 'puter game at least. :D

wow, i used to play MUDS all day and listen to mainly magnet songs. i have no special memories of this one in particular. but this is a work of genius. or at least a lot of drugs.

the part of "with a planet in my hands" is i believe him fighting other gods , or other people, somewhere in another space/world/dream? perhaps

a rock song full of allegorical meanings... the world is too much forr him...

yeah man i agree with that last guy,in particular its about kurt cobain n eddy vedder,nega-negative,sonic-their musicians,teenage warheads-young heroin users,well cobain anyways

Clearly you guys have never done psychedelics before. The song is a map to not losing your mind in a trip.

"Me and myself killed a world today - explaining the concept of no time

Me and myself got a world to save - explaining the anxiety

Broadcast dead revolution don't pay - 1 of 2 Strapped up freaks on the Lazarus plane - 2 of 2 - Explains fight or flight I can tell just by the climate, and I can tell just by the style - Familiarity with the trip

I was born and raised on Venus and I may be here a while - Explains the confusion

Cause every supersonic jerk off who plugs into the game - 1 of 2 Is just like every subatomic genius who just invented pain" - 2 of 2 - This is the cornerstone, hes explaining that everyone who trips (plugs into the game) is like every other person who never has. In other words, this world is fake.

"I will Deny you baby" - Explains denying your fear of what really is OR the denial of ones self, you will experience either of these.

"Oh baby, I'm lazy Oh baby, introduce me to God Oh baby, I'm lady Oh baby, set a place for the dog, for the dog" - This part is interesting and I think its personal. I think what he means is, he wants all the answers to life, but its too hard (im lazy). Ultimately I think it means its as pointless as setting a place (to eat at the table) with a dog... it doesnt matter.

"Shut me off 'cause I go crazy with this planet in my hands" - Finally, after your 16 hours of madness.. you want rest.
