What is known is this song is a semi-autobiographical meditation on being a metalhead teen in the late ‘80s in California. Some fans consider this song to be synonymous with the Goths album, and possibly a B-Side of that album.
Considering the theme of the album, this song coincides with the theme...
Jumping out of my skin
This tiny sector can't contain me
Suit up in a flash
Slipping symbols bravely, bravely
Go where I'm not wanted
Stand where the light hits hard
Almost full grown
Drive home alone and listen to the slow parts
In a new universe
Trying to find the mask that fits me
Shaking the curse
Behaving as the beacons bid me
Denim and leather
Silver strap to please the diehards
Let me dance 'til I die
Turn the volume up high and listen to the slow parts
Aliеn ships from ancient realms (Ships from ancient rеalms)
Ageless captains at their helms (Captains at their helms)
Rage from the sea
Let it begin with me
Half-life of my toxins
Difficult to calculate
Stock up on gauze in case of accidents
Try to keep my story straight
Dozens like me
Never quite free, filling out our dance cards
Mark my time on the wall
Answer the call and listen to the slow parts
