Holy shit, my favorite CKY song (Song #1 on my sig) just got even cooler, if that's possible. It's always been my favorite because of the beat/riffs...but now that I know what the song is actually about it's even better.
I guess the song is about how all the leaders of every empire on earth, historically, have tried to mold their citizens into a certain type, and discourages being different and unique. Just read the lyrics and listen to the song...the video was made by a college teacher, not CKY, so don't pay any attention to that.
Here's the lyrics:
Quote:
arriving in at work behind
speed up the assembly line
don't force units together
follow the instruction sign
this isn't happening a fourth time..
work the parts responsibly
place them biologically
release the incomplete
bury the unfaithful fleet
this isn't happening a fifth time..
this blood is flowing through a warped mind..
[Chorus:]
see what's inside all the things you will find
can you see yourself doing that?
when you're out on the move seeking something to prove
can you see yourself doing that?
you were in their design,
just thrown into a mind
and the world becomes a path
how the subtle divide
manufacturer's bride
in the wake of aftermath
compatible reality
forming separate entities
dead heads and holy water
we instill the wants and needs
work with the team to make the deadline..
modern man cannot survive
drowning in formaldehyde
inhuman creation station
that's where we control your lives
and it's been happening since the dawn of time..
this blood's still flowing through a warped mind..

I never knew or really gave too much thought about what the song was about. I like the lines about the "warped mind" which probably mean a mind that didn't get brainwashed...and the last line of the song being "This blood's still flowing through a warped mind..." Just awesome.
CKY are a lot like Rob Zombie in that they are influenced by horror movies when writing their songs, so that's why it kind of has a little twist, but I think the meaning/message is still pretty clear. It goes well with how they refuse to go mainstream, and make music for their fans, and only their fans.
