I think the central theme to this track is how try to make ourselves stronger by denying our mortality. He uses allusions, paradoxes, and metaphors to express this denial. The "milk and genocide" is a paradox of life and death. Youth and demise. "Messianic peter pan" conveys the idea that one can only be strong if they live forever. Likewise, Peter Pan was a young boy who never grew old. The conflict comes when he realizes that the price of fame is loss of manhood which is the essence of his being. Therefore, he exclaims I'm "just a little fucking boy. I could never be a man." This is the tragedy of the song. All in all, the title is a statement that we should not let our lives be decided by a simple roll of the dice or "snake eyes". We must decide our fate or else we are just "sissies" with broken knees constantly bowing in acquiesence. Great song. Some of the same ideas appear in Strange Same Dogma.
