Big monster
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life

See you looking through me
Like you've unzipped the zipper
You hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell

Couldn't park that fucking car
Couldn't part from you
Saw the back of your sweet mother's head
Now I know that she thinks I am dead

Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell

Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life

    I think it is about a person that gives in to temptation easily ("big monster lover," "bigger pusher over"), and consequentially remains lonely ("stands/walks alone...") and often times in a psychedelic state of mind ("see you looking through me," "saw the back of your sweet mother's head / now I know that she think's I'm dead"). Ultimately, this person will die and realize how poor of a choice it was to give in so easily to temptation ("can't you see that we're going to hell?").
