| It's about thinking about something in a new way. Changing time to the metric system. Instead of 24 hours, you convert it into 100 fractions. Then you get the appearance of more time, even though it's still the same amount of time, just in different portions. So it's all a big, crazy illusion. | |

| This was the first song I heard by the hives. On one of the "punk-o-rama" comps. Im not sure what it's about,possible about comming to emerika and the public not liking thier song of something,and how he'll change their mind. | |

| I don't know why, but I hate this song. I think its because the subject is so dumb and pointless. Everything else from Veni Vedi Vicious Is awesome | |
