Their music is often regarded as hard to label under one certain genre. While sweeping across many sounds, Acid Bath put out two records of considerable influence, which opened a gateway for heavy metal music to be versatile and emotional without sacrificing its creative character or brute force. Their music incorporates influences ranging from sludge, doom metal, death metal, hardcore punk, stoner rock, thrash metal and grunge.
The variation in their music has reached far from the underground music into many hardcore, doom metal and stoner rock bands. Frontman Dax Riggs currently performs a solo artist, although he was the singer and guitarist for Agents of Oblivion. He then played for Deadboy & the Elephantmen. Guitarist Sammy Duet played in Crowbar for some time. He now plays for Goatwhore.
13 Fingers
Acid Bath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Harvest is a' coming in the season of Dying
I trace the skull in your face and remember
I kissed a girl with 13 fingers
Mutate
Insectile
Mutate
I cum malignant, cold death-gasm
I pulse and twitch, I release and spasm
I heard Satan on the AM radio
I trace the skull in your face and remember
I kissed a girl with 13 fingers, kissed a girl with 13 fingers
Mutate
Insectile
Mutate
Insectile
GO GO GO
Blood makes the grass grow
I heard the ghost of Hitler on the radio
GO GO GO
Blood makes the grass grow
I blew a load of Jesus into Mary's hole
I trace the skull in your face and remember
I kissed a dark-eyed girl with 13 fingers
I see the -?- deep down -?-
Fuck it, Fuck it
[-?- Raped you]
Fuck it, Fuck it
I understand the bleeding but don't know why
It's so easy to watch you cry
It's so fuckin' easy to watch you cry
I understand the bleeding but don't know why
I understand the bleeding but don't know why
It's so easy to watch you die
It's so fuckin' easy to watch you die
It's so easy to watch you die
The lyrics of "13 Fingers" by Acid Bath are open to interpretation, as many lyrics in the song are cryptic and symbolic. It appears to be a song about death, mutation, and the darker aspects of life. The repetition of "mutate" and "insectile" implies that the singer is becoming something non-human, possibly consumed by their own desire for death.
The line "I kissed a girl with 13 fingers" is particularly intriguing. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for a forbidden or strange love, as the number 13 is often considered unlucky or cursed. It could also symbolize physical mutation, as if the girl is not fully human.
The inclusion of references to Hitler and Jesus adds to the song's disturbing tone. The line "blood makes the grass grow" is a reference to a quote attributed to various war leaders, implying that bloodshed is necessary for growth and progress.
Overall, "13 Fingers" is a complex and disturbing song, exploring themes of mutation, death, and taboo desire.
