What are some of your favorite songs lyrically?
Nate explains, “A lot of the songs on this CD are more personal to me than the last record was — I wrote things that no one else but me could even tell are personal. I touched on things I never explored before.” For example, “’Hopeless Host’ is about my body not being a very good host for health. ‘Piece of Mind’ is about a guy getting a lobotomy, because society is going downhill and he can’t take anymore.”

hope that helps. a lobotomy definitely explains the title. if you don't know what a lobotomy is, it's a special type of brain surgery where you basically hammer ice picks through the eye sockets into the brain. it was supposed to help mental illnesses and "moodiness." it has since been regarded as one of the biggest medical mistakes in history.
