Conditions of My Parole Lyrics

To me this might be some sort of ass-backwards, dyslexic jab at christianity. Every line has some reference to Jesus or God.

When he says "Goddamn judge found me guilty of a public inoxication" I hear public toxication instead of INtoxication. Now jumble the sentence up like your dyslexic, or rather slexdysic. Lol If I use my selective dyslexia it seems like public toxication could be reversed to toxic pulication, ie the bible. That's backed up by the line that says "But the csi couldn't find the body to corroborate my bullshit story."

Whoever tthis song is about, he killed, and is back alive. Thus the line "what if she's a zombie or a dracula"

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I'm sleep deprived right now and that's what makes sense. Not all of it makes sense, but then again this is maynard, so you can't expect it to all make complete sense, especially with puscifer.

Great song, even if I'm completely missing the point.

My Interpretation

I agree with you on this one. I also agree with the sleep deprivation. However, my two cents added, as you stated this may be a jab at Christianity, the song just be a creative joke. As in he met a girl but turned out to be a succubus, attempted to kill her but she just returned and the rest of my thoughts on the song follow yours. But I always look deep into all of Maynard's work. He said himself in an interview that for all we know there can be a shit joke in the album title. I...
