Ooooooooooo, I love this song! Didn’t pay much interest until I watched a video of them playing it live at the London Astoria, then it was an instant favorite. The guitars are kickass in this song!! There are lots of random screaming and a cool drum solo between the three percussionists. It is about everyone being the same as the next person. The one speaking seems to be complaining about how you have to be just like everyone else to fit in, and that he isn’t like that. He says it in several ways. “I'm just another hard-line pseudo-statistic” which implies that he is a fake, not really another one of the crowd, as others view him to be. Several phrases (”I am all, but what am I? / Another number that isn't equal to any of you”, “I am the damaged one /
All my life and the damage done“ and “I’m uneven!”) say that he isn’t right, and he's different. The song is about being imperfect. The name probably comes from the ideas that there is always a defect in the overall plan and that the blister ALWAYS exists.
