96 Quite Bitter Beings
CKY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down twenty miles through the sticks
To the cloudy town of Hellview
Population 96
Excessive vacancy, well maybe
In the shadow of an eye
All the strangers passing through
And where the rules just don't apply
At the fork turn left, a store
But on the right stay free from sight
'Cause 96 quite bitter beings
Like to stack the bodies high
The only way to ever leave
Is overflooded by the storm
And entanglement in Hellview
Brings you fear in fifty forms
They've deleted all the tourists
At the bottom of the lake
And not one supports the cause
To leave the blood stay in the veins
Here, three miles back is where we are
All we ever wanted was an answer
Civilized are close but way too far
All we ever wanted was an answer
Footprints giving clue to where we are
All we ever wanted was an answer
Civilized are close but way too far
All we ever wanted
"96 Quite Bitter Beings" by CKY is a song about a town named Hellview with a population of 96. The town is known for being cloudy and having excessive vacancy, which gives it an eerie feeling. The song describes how the rules in Hellview don't apply in the way they should, and how the strangers just pass through without any concern. It then warns about 96 "bitter beings" who stack bodies high and bring fear in fifty forms. The only way to leave is overflooded by the storm, which suggests that it's impossible to escape. In this town, tourists have been deleted, and no one supports the cause to leave the blood stay in the veins.
The lyrics suggest that Hellview is a place overlooked by civilization, where people are left to their own devices and are controlled by 96 bitter beings. The song seems to be a warning to the listener to be careful of such places, where there are no rules and no clear ways out. The lyrics have a strong sense of atmosphere, with the sounds of the sticks, the cloudy town of Hellview, and the storm creating a real sense of unease.

With my perceptions in a mix
Confused about my surroundings
Down twenty miles through the sticks
Travelled far through rural areas
To the cloudy town of Hellview
Arrived at a gloomy place called Hellview
Population 96
Only 96 people live there
Excessive vacancy, well maybe
There are a lot of empty buildings
In the shadow of an eye
Under surveillance
All the strangers passing through
Many outsiders come and go
And where the rules just don't apply
Unconventional behavior is accepted
At the fork turn left, a store
Directions to a store on the left
But on the right stay free from sight
Don't be seen on the right side
'Cause 96 quite bitter beings
The residents here are unhappy and dangerous
Like to stack the bodies high
They're known for killing people and leaving their bodies around
The only way to ever leave
Escaping is difficult
Is overflooded by the storm
There's a dangerous flood that blocks the way out
And entanglement in Hellview
Getting involved here is a bad idea
Brings you fear in fifty forms
Many things to be afraid of
They've deleted all the tourists
Tourists have been killed and disposed of
At the bottom of the lake
Their bodies are at the bottom of a nearby lake
And not one supports the cause
Nobody is helping to put an end to the violence
To leave the blood stay in the veins
Avoid getting killed
Here, three miles back is where we are
Reminding themselves of their location
All we ever wanted was an answer
They seek answers to something
Civilized are close but way too far
They're far from civilization
Footprints giving clue to where we are
They're following footprints to find their way
All we ever wanted was an answer
They still want answers
Civilized are close but way too far
They're still far from civilization
