Cover art for Vultures lyrics by Offspring, The

this is my favorite song ever. i love the offspring alot and have almost all their cds (except for the first cd which i'm getting soon) and i don't think conspiracy of one gets enough credit. alot of other offspring fans like americana and ixnay on the hombre best, and conspiracy of one seems pretty far down on the list. anyways...

I think this song is about losing a loved one to cancer (i'm assuming its a girl). he's confused about how he feels and has a dark outlook on life after it. "now all our rage begs a stage, it's a waste of time though" that is my favorite part of the song, what it means to me is how what we feel (anger sadness etc) in the end means nothing.

i also think this song is about a very indecisive person. they're angry and sad and just plain undecided about the even that happened in their life. but they don't want any pity. "and in the sun a loaded gun makes for conversation" that might imply that he's suicidal after the event and it just becomes a topic for gossip. he's in denial about something, and possibly having a disagreement with some one else. idk.

i probably read into the song too much, or analyze it too much. but yeah it is my favorite song and i listen to it alot, especially when i'm sad. i love the guitar rifts (it reminds me of dirty magic, another good song by them). it's an over all kick ass song.

this is also my favorite song by the offspring but i didnt really know what it was about. thanks for your opinion i think youre at least partially right
