Piranha Lyrics

Cover art for Piranha lyrics by Exodus

I honestly am not sure if Exodus cared enough to craft a metaphor such as this, but I think the school of piranhas is comperable to certain metal scenes at the time. The metalheads were often at war with the punk rockers, and each stuck to their own kind. Since I was born in 88 I couldn't tell you what it was really like, but I'm led to believe that if you pissed off one metalhead you had a whole pack of them after you soon enough, especially in the San Fransisco Bay Area.

The part that throws me off is the reference to Loki. I don't know where that would fit in there.

But this song kicks enough ass for it not to matter anyway.

Thats not how it was in San Francisco in the mid 1980s,which was when Exodus where in their prime.The metalheads and punks generally got along most of the time.Skinheads where a problem though.
