Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Matt Lead Player	#1 by Matt Spencer at Aug 30, 2006 at 6:41 AM EST
	it's about the bands heroine addictions. that's were the "parallel universe" comes from.

No Picture IvZ Average	#2 by IvZ at Dec 16, 2006 at 7:34 PM EST
	Christ I’m a sidewinder I’m a California king ....i think that the side winder part> he is reffering to himself as a buyer (of the drugs) and the california king part is posiblly about him selling them~ well w/e it is about I LOVE IT..... and mabey it is about how sometimes you just dont feel like yourself btw when did anthony get off his addiction?

No Picture Gunther Wanna Be	#3 by Gunther at Dec 24, 2006 at 8:03 AM EST
	Yep, it's about doing some sort of drug...heroin, mescaline or such... "Christ I’m a sidewinder I’m a California king I swear it’s everywhere It’s everything" - it sounds like the babble of someone whose incredibly high, trying to make sense of what he sees and put it into words how he feels, but failing. Sidewinder and California King are two breeds of snake, and snakes are a very common hallucination to experience while under the influence of magic mushrooms, mescaline and heroin.

No Picture keith Wanna Be	#4 by keith mckinlay at Mar 10, 2007 at 3:49 AM EST
	Yeah it is of course about heroine, but how do you know that the band has a problem with that?

No Picture Flash Average	#5 by Flash Jaxon at Jul 26, 2007 at 6:24 PM EST
	i never thought of this song as durgs being part of it? i always thought it was about actually going to another parallel universe and seeing what the pretent you are doing and what might be ahead of you in life. it always makes me think of beautiful things like that. maybe i listen to too much of JF stuff and the dimensions are taking over me!!!

No Picture Ace Average	#6 by Ace Of Spades at Sep 22, 2007 at 8:21 PM EST
	you could die but youre never dead. spiderweb. to me thats kinda like, about reincarnation. you can die, but you're never really gone. you kinda keep goin and end up back where you started, a karmatic effect. if you imagine it, it looks kinda like a spiderweb. other thing id like to say is that almost any lyric of any song could be about drugs, but music isnt quite that shallow.
