96 Quite Bitter Beings
CKY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With my perceptions in a mix
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

Overall Meaning

"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.


Line by Line Meaning

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

To the cloudy town of Hellview: Population 96
Excessive vacancy, well maybe
In the shadow of an eye

But on the right stay free from sight
'Cause 96 quite bitter beings

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 (wanted, wanted, wanted)
