	Dominik, chill out, it's not YOU songmeanings and just because someone may have the wrong lyrics doesn't mean they're a poser.

No Picture massie Professional Badass	#5 by massie at Apr 13, 1992 at 9:45 AM EST
	I agree one of the best Kyuss songs but i dont have a good of what it is talking about but maybe changing yourself others

No Picture geoff Average	#6 by geoff at Jul 26, 1993 at 2:38 AM EST
	dudes i think Dominik's kidding... shit i think people take this site a little too seriously... must be full of 15 year olds (sic)! goddam if you're going to be over 18 and still on songmeanings you're gonna take some flak! haha cmon people what happened to the random hate? anys im not 100% about the lyrics but i hear LightningBolts ones i think, and they seem to make more sense. But dont ask me my ears are going in my old age from all those ACDC concerts as a toddler. The least you guys can do is comment on the songmeaning when you rant about each other. This song to me is about people mindlessly following trends. The first verse, something they as a band have experienced, is that satanism is "in" in rock music. So just because everyone else is doing it, a band will sing for Satan, something Kyuss here is mocking. The second verse, whichever way you hear the lyrics, is about the way people (presumably the posers u guys speak of) dress and worry about their hairdos and shit, which is kinda the exact opposite of rebelling. I have a funny take on the chorus, hopefully i'll pick up some random hate for this, is about pushups. people putting themselves through so much effort to "look good"... writhe like snakes, exercise on the floor. "out you go" when you're not around, the dude with the physique goes and does hundreds of pushups to look that way. I guess the last verse is about a genuine person that also doesn't buy into the superficial nature of people, someone who keeps the speaker's feet on the ground, "You keep my limit alive". The last two lines are quite awesome, theres much more behind her smile than what's on the surface, and her kiss makes it worth getting to know that. The thing i really love about Kyuss is the way they use contrast to such a powerful effect. You kindof anticipate a big balls-out yelling chorus but the melody and style just changes and the result is immense.

	Hey, amazing tune. BUT, second verse should be: Everyone's hair is out to there What a manly looking crew I don't think I'll tease my hair I'd rather sit here teasing you
