This song was inspired by an incident in New Jersey in 1984 where a young man and his friends got high on PCP and, inspired by the Satanic imagery in the metal music t/he/y listened to, kidnapped and tortured a teenager nearly to death. Namely, the idea of Satan being nothing compared to the evil within "ordinary" people. It's also a brush-off of heavy metal acts who use Satanic symbols as a shock tactic, which I agree is... boring.
