High Noon Amsterdam
Masters of Reality Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get your black suit on and be a son of a bitch
I need a scratch from the hand of the ass that sold me the itch
It's a big sell out its a big party
High noon amsterdam time and the action is free
Ain't no debutante ball ain't no sweet sixteen
Stuck my nose in the rose in the hole and it smelled like a dream
It's a big sell out it's a big party
High noon amsterdam time and the action is free




Overall Meaning

In the song "High Noon Amsterdam" by Masters of Reality, the lyrics open with an invitation to a big party, highlighting the need to put on a black suit and become a "son of a bitch." The tone of the song is somewhat cynical, perhaps suggesting that the party is a sell-out and that everyone's true motivations are not necessarily pure. The lyrics continue with a reference to someone who sold the singer an itch and a desire for a scratch from that person's hand. This could be interpreted as a deep desire for retribution or a sense of justice.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "It's a big sell out, it's a big party. High Noon Amsterdam time and the action is free." This suggests that the party is not genuine and that there is an underlying sense of inauthenticity to the whole event. The lyrics also describe a lack of innocence or purity, with the absence of debutante balls or sweet sixteens. The lines "Stuck my nose in the rose in the hole and it smelled like a dream" could be interpreted as a commentary on the fakeness of the event and the fact that all that glitters is not necessarily gold.

This song to me sounds a bit like something Dave Wyndorf would write. Has a "Powertrip" vibe to it I think. Reminds me of "See You in Hell" from that album.
