I've been stuffed in your pocket for the last hundred days
When I don't get my bath I take it out on the slaves
So grease up your baby for the ball on the hill
And polish them rockets now, and swallow those pills
And sing whoa, space-lord mother mother

There's a car in the field now in a column of flame
With two doors to choose but only one bears your name
You've been drinking my blood well I've been licking your wounds
I'll shave off the pitch now in the scope of your tune
You'll sing whoa space-lord mother mother

I left my throne a million miles away
I drink from your tit
I sing your blues every day
Now give me the strength
To split the world in two yeah
I ate all the rest and now I've gotta eat you

Well I sing

Built in my nightmares and using my name
You're stroking my cortex and you know I'm insane
I'm squeezed out in hump drive and drowning in love
Encompass them all to a position above
And sing whoa space-lord mother mother

I left my throne a million miles away
I drink from your tit
I sing your blues every day
Now give me the strength
To split the world in two yeah
I ate all the rest and now I've gotta eat you

Well I sing whoa space-lord mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa

I lost my soul when I fell to earth
My planets called me to the void of my birth
The time has come for me to kill this game
Now open wide and say my name

Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother
Whoa space-lord mother mother

    I've read some really great theories. All of them could be viable. However, I like to think of one specific being when this song is playing. Considering the mythos surrounding this creature, the lyrics match almost perfectly. This song is about Cthulhu. Cthulhu is a super-giant alien god that fell to Earth with his brothers. The mythos goes on to state that Cthulhu and his brothers made humans into their slaves. Eventually, the humans revolted and locked Cthulhu in a giant vault in the ancient city of Ry'leh. A natural disaster sank the ancient city into the ocean, so now Great Cthulhu, in his ancient tomb in Ry'leh, waits... dreaming. According to prophecy, Cthulhu and his brothers (AKA The Great Old Ones) will rise with a certain alignment of the stars to once again rule the Earth. They will eat all humans, including their followers, The Cthulhu Cult. The cult will be saved for last and will be eaten as part of a ritual that will send them to Cthulhu's planet where they will be greeted with a paradise where all feelings of pleasure and pain are intensified beyond that of our mortal imaginations. For more information on the Cthulhu Mythos, read the stories by H.P. Lovecraft. They're insanely delightful. The fear he strikes into the readers' minds when describing the Great Beast is unrivaled by any other horror writer.

    Elaborating on what a few people have already mentioned - the song - like many of monster magnet's lyrics - are referencing comics specifically, Marvel's Galactus.

    For those that don't know, galactus is a massive (like the size of the sun massive) cosmic being that "eats" entire planets for his meals. In the marvel universe galactus often tries to devour the resource-rich planet of earth but somehow or another it's never quite happened (i think- in the main universe at least). So this song sorta seems like Galactus dreaming about how awesome it will be when he finally consumes the planet of earth. Full of sexual innuendo and more blatant clues as in the chorus: "now give me the strength to split the wold in two i ate all the rest and now i've gotta eat you." pretty much the whole chorus actually. and the song title. Of course that doesn't mean it's ONLY about Galactus, but it seems to be the main inspiration...

    I'm not a comic book/sci-fi fan so I always thought this was just a badass song about revenge, someone who has been at the mercy of another person for too long and one day turns the tables.

    Love the way the song builds and then explodes at the end, kind of like rage, so satisfying.

    Most of Monster Magnets songs are about stuff that Dave Wyndorf has imagined while he was whacked out on acid, I think...

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
