Monster Magnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strong fine snake in a sucker's vacuum
15 clicks and it's time to say bye
15 trips and a love that won't die
Me and myself killed a world today
Me and myself got a world to save
Broadcast dead revolution don't pay
I can tell just by the climate, and I can tell just by the style
I was born and raised on Venus and I may be here a while
Cause every supersonic jerk off who plugs into the game
Is just like every subatomic genius who just invented pain
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
Yeah yeah, yeah, wow
Oh baby, I'm lazy
Oh baby, introduce me to God
Oh baby, I'm lady
Oh baby, set a place for the dog, for the dog
Yeah, Oh
Shut me off 'cause I go crazy with this planet in my hands
Shut me off 'cause I go crazy with this planet in my hands
Shut me off 'cause I go crazy with this planet in my hands
Shut me off 'cause I go crazy with this planet in my hands
I can tell just by the climate, and I can tell just by the style
I was born and raised on Venus and I may be here a while
Cause every supersonic jerk off who plugs into the game
Is just like every subatomic genius who just invented pain
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
I will deny you
I will deny you baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, wow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The lyrics to Monster Magnet's "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" are infused with psychedelic imagery and references to science fiction. The song appears to be narrated by someone who has seen a woman on television and is attracted to her, but then goes on to express his disillusionment with the world and humanity. The first verse describes the woman, whom the singer sees as a "snake in a sucker's vacuum." This image suggests that the woman is strong and powerful, but is being stifled or constrained by society.
The second verse is more existential, with the singer stating that he and himself "killed a world today" and that he has "got a world to save." There are references to a "dead revolution" and "strapped up freaks on the Lazarus plane," which could be interpreted as a commentary on society's tendency to crush individuality and resistance. The chorus repeats the lines "I will deny you baby," suggesting that the singer is rejecting societal norms and expectations.
The final verse returns to science fiction imagery, with the singer stating that he was "born and raised on Venus" and that he feels disconnected from humanity. The repeated line about supersonic jerks and subatomic geniuses suggests that even those who are perceived as powerful or intelligent are ultimately subject to the same pain and suffering as everyone else. The closing lines about wanting to be introduced to God and setting a place for the dog could be interpreted in a variety of ways, but seem to suggest a desire for connection with something beyond the mundane world.

Monster Magnet is an amazing band. Really deserve a lot more recognition.
Plat_Damon
Dude this is a world famous band, without the big advertisement. They have loyal fans, and people that actually are interested in music will find and like them, or found and liked them, or refound them. I think that is a seldom kind of recognition especially in todays world.
I get your point, but that would be my view on it. Anyway enjoy it, cheers and if your are in mideurope come around for a beer and some MM XD

Monster Magnet is well known to GenXers like me who were in their early to mid 20s in the 90's and who like to ROCK. This band singlehandely restored my love of rock music after I went through a spell of listening to gangster rap. Thank you Dave Wyndorf.
