Cover art for Delirium Trigger lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

Alright, this song delirium trigger plays into the story of "Coheed and Cambria" ~ Claudio Sanchez, the singer,'s sci-fi comic epic. (originally it was called the Bag-On-Line Adventures, but they changed it)

Delirium Trigger takes place on a space ship, and mostly deals with Coheed. However, yes it references the movie Aliens. Claudio likes to do this, when he writes songs, he will give a double meaning and reference it to many other things. For example, Coheed and Cambria's last name is Kilgannon (from Zelda!) and the song 33 can be referenced to Patrick Ewing of the NY Knicks.

In this song, the narrator is someone on the ship, probably and old-friend of Coheed. (who allows him onto the ship ~ because Coheed was on the run.) Coheed has calmed down after what happened in Everything Evil ~ however, he's hit with the parasitic cyst (the dragonfly on the cover of the album) which turns him back into the Monstar (Everything Evil). The verses are sung by this friend of Coheed, and how they were able to catch him while he was a monstar but now he escaped and is killing everyone.

The chorus is from coheed's point of view, and pretty much so very explanatory. It's a very agressive chorus, "Give a look surprise wide eyed to me. . ." and "the scare that triggers your fear. . ."

This all leads to Hearshot Kid Disaster when Coheed arrives on earth and fucks things up there.

But yes i love how this song kinda reflects the movie Alien. WHich is one of my favorites.
