Featuring guest artists from the metal world as well as country artists, fiddlers, cellists, pedal steel guitars, mandolins, banjos, Jourgensen digs deep into the vaults of his extensive knowledge of country music to accomplish this provocative and melodically gorgeous array of original trax as well as a nod to Gram Parsons on Drug Store Truck Driving Man. Jourgensen crowns this long-awaited project as “Heavy Western” or “Country Core.”

What's Wrong With Me
Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I live in isolation
And that's just fine with me
I got a window for stimulation
And that's just about all I need

Oh, what's wrong with me?
Just can't seem to fit into society
But I'll tell you what (I'll tell you what)

I'll tell you what, I don't go out anymore
And I don't know why (I don't know why)
But all I see is suffering in store for me

Well I have my reservations
About whats outside that door
Well my self preservation
Is all that I'm living for

Oh, what's wrong with me?
Just can't seem to fit into society
But I'll tell you what(I'll tell you what)
I'll tell you what, I don't go out anymore
And I don't know why (I don't know why)
But all I see is suffering in store

What's wrong with me?!
What's wrong with me?!
What's wrong with me?!

What's wrong with me?!
What's wrong with me?!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "What's Wrong With Me" by Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters is a reflection on the state of the singer's mental health and their inability to fit into society. The opening lines suggest that the singer prefers living in isolation and finds stimulation only through their window, indicating a lack of interest in socializing. The repeated question, "What's wrong with me?" indicates that the singer is aware that their behavior is outside the norm and is struggling to understand why.

The singer then admits their reservations about what lies outside their door, implying a fear of the outside world. The line "my self-preservation is all that I'm living for" suggests that the singer's focus is mainly on protecting themselves and their mental state. The repeated chorus further emphasizes the singer's confusion and frustration about their place in society.

Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of mental health and the struggles faced by those who feel like they do not fit in with the rest of society. The lyrics carefully capture feelings of isolation, anxiety, and a sense of being lost. It's a song that might resonate with those who have had similar experiences, and at its core, it's a call for compassion and understanding.

Line by Line Meaning

I live in isolation
It's okay for me to be alone

And that's just fine with me
Being isolated is enough for me

I got a window for stimulation
Looking outside the window is enough for me to get stimulated

And that's just about all I need
I don't need anything else besides looking out of my window

Oh, what's wrong with me?
Why can't I fit into society?

Just can't seem to fit into society
I am having trouble adjusting to the norms of society

But I'll tell you what (I'll tell you what)
Let me explain

I'll tell you what, I don't go out anymore
I don't go outside of my isolated space anymore

And I don't know why (I don't know why)
I am not sure why

But all I see is suffering in store for me
I anticipate only pain and struggle if I go out into the world

Well I have my reservations
I have my doubts and concerns

About whats outside that door
I am unsure what is outside my isolated space

Well my self preservation
I am focused on protecting myself

Is all that I'm living for
The only thing that matters to me is my own safety

What's wrong with me?! (x5)
Why am I like this? Why can't I be like everyone else?
