Death SS were reformed in 1988 by Sylvester, as Paul Chain detached himself from the evil philosophy of the band. This new incarnation of Death SS would record their first full length album, ...In Death of Steve Sylvester. Their would be many line-up changes in the years to come, with Sylvester once again being the only constant member.

Death SS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Metal junkies, goths'n'geeks
Mutant bikers, lesbian whores
Twisted tyrants and all the impures
Paranoia in on the wall
It's a war, we're 'bout to fall
See no evil, feel no pain
Yeah! this is the weird world the place to flare your life
All your queers are welcome here
Everyone can be a star
A psycho heaven, a rebel ride
Where you don't need to pick a side
Where you sale truth, where you sale lies
Buy a new God when the old one dies
Subhuman jungle of flesh and blood
Start a battle just for fun
Nothing's right, nothing's wrong
Land of freedom can you play this tool?
Yeah! Join the weird world the place to free your mind
Just tell us what you realy need
To get away from the mankind
The lyrics of Death SS's "Weird World" describe a world filled with outcasts and rebels, where there is no judgment based on appearance, behavior or beliefs. The song mentions various groups of people, such as "cyber-hackers, spaced-out freaks, metal junkies, goths'n'geeks, mutant bikers, lesbian whores, twisted tyrants and all the impures," which reinforces the idea that this is a place where anyone can belong. The chorus emphasizes the acceptance that Weird World offers: "Yeah! this is the weird world the place to flare your life/ All your queers are welcome here/ Everyone can be a star." In this world, people have the freedom to be whoever they want to be, without fear of judgment or persecution.
The song's second verse further emphasizes the theme of rebellion and freedom, as it describes a place where people can "sale truth, where you sale lies/Buy a new God when the old one dies." This suggests a society where people are not bound by traditional values or belief systems, and where they can create their own truth. The song's bridge, which includes the line "Subhuman jungle of flesh and blood," reinforces the idea that this world is different from the norm, and that it offers a haven from the restrictions and conventions of mainstream society.
