Big Loader
Iron Monkey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mine is abuse, silage head wound
Coughin' up a load
And your father
Crippled black phoenix
Never fed
I'd love to chew teates-o-scylla

Denial rots, spores open and fire looms
Heads burst and liquid palms flow
Alienating rare answers
Scat matrix disasters
Kneel worm, you rat fucker
Gene pox nero
Faeces idolatry gun
Testosterone jack-on

Piss leaks from wounds
Balls burst from the fucking cancers
Ape vermin running wild

Bloated with fear
Men in brown coats commit
Undetectable exterminations




As the laughter prevails of the
Fuckin' mess

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iron Monkey's "Big Loader" are quite intense and difficult to interpret, as they seem to be a collection of disjointed images and phrases that create an overall mood of violence, decay, and despair. The opening lines refer to an abuse victim with a head wound who is coughing up a load, suggesting a sense of physical and emotional trauma. The reference to the father being a crippled black phoenix who never fed adds to the sense of neglect and hopelessness, as well as a possible reference to addiction or mental illness.


The imagery becomes more surreal and disturbing in the subsequent lines, with references to denial rotting, spores opening, and fire looming. The heads bursting and liquid palms flowing suggest a sense of bodily decay and disintegration, while alienating rare answers and scat matrix disasters hint at some sort of environmental or societal breakdown. The phrase "kneel worm, you rat fucker" further emphasizes the sense of violence and degradation, while the gene pox nero and faeces idolatry gun suggest a world in which disease and decay have become fetishized and weaponized.


The final lines refer to men in brown coats committing undetectable exterminations as the laughter prevails of the fuckin' mess. This could be interpreted as a reference to some sort of fascist or totalitarian regime that is systematically eliminating those who do not fit into its vision of society, while reveling in the chaos and destruction it has wrought. Overall, the lyrics to "Big Loader" paint a bleak and disturbing picture of a world gone mad with violence, decay, and degradation.
