| Nah, I love discussing stuff like this. The name of the song is kind of a clue, to me. Dopes to infinity, suggests that this song is about a drug trip and the kind of random ideas you have when you are high, and how he feels connected to God and in tune with the universe. | |

| It's the line 'I can tell by the moon in your eyes that you're loved by the tribes...' that gets me thinking. Another name for Nightbreed is "Tribes of the Moon". 'Hook you up to the coil of the one, who makes time with the sun, and who keeps us pumping' could be about the 'Breeds god, Baphomet, who saved the various tribes and brought them together as Nightbreed. Not trying to argue, just promoting discussion. | |

| This is a fucking beautiful song. I think it's about how you feel when you're totally zonked out on a psychadelic, a place where nobody judges anybody and everybody is able to work together and live in peace. A place where it's cool if dogs bite people because "We bite ourselves and bite our dog". | |

| You have never got high if you have never done it listening to Monster Magnet. Obviously another one of Dave Wyndorfs drug hallucinations. | |

| I think it's inspired by Clive Barker's Nightbreed and Hellraiser stories, specifically the crossover between the two,Jihad. "Tribes of the Moon" and the "one who keeps time with the sun" would be about the 'Breed, and the ones who "stretch the flesh unmovable" would refer to the Cenobites and their extreem peircings. Only confirmation I have is Dave Wyndorf is a huge comic fan who puts numerous references in his songs. | |

| ive always thought this song is about heroine and being a junkie but not giving a fuck and how being a junkie sets him free and how people look on them so badly. so i think its a song for all the heroine guys. | |

| The referance to "the one who makes time with the sun", to me is more about being able to touch God, as it were, while tripped out on acid, the next line supports this, when he sings about him keeping us pumping, assuming that it is God who keeps us living. The line about stretching the "flesh unmovable", to me, is about pushing the envelope, in terms of creativity. | |
