great song, ridiculous comments. "its a transvestite" "ten is a measurement of coke" "he's saying gin/tin"
the lyrics are "oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound, like a trani on ten"
it's a description of an overdose. oscillating on the ground is pretty obvious. a 'trani' is a transistor radio, 'on ten' refers to full volume - common rock n roll slang as most amps go up to ten. hence if you turn a transistor radio up to full volume it kinda crackles and sounds like white noise and sounds altogether pretty fucked up - as i'm sure a person would sound while OD'ing.
the first verse sets the scene. the second verse describes a girl who only takes drugs when there's people to witness it - the song seems to be about young people getting mixed up in grimy stuff just sort of for the sake of it, out of confusion, not really having a purpose or direction in their lives, and it all ending pretty tragically. hence it's a sad and angry song, and seeing these people ruin their lives really affected him.
@spinnact sorry but no, its about transvestite hookers. Drugs, prostitution, police harrassment, etc. They're spitting out there teeth because they got bashed. Nobody says "trani" or talks about transistor radios anymore.
