Monster Magnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a cock made out of platinum
I got a bullet coming out of the sky
I got the world's last piece of chocolate
I got the full moon in my eye
I gotta make that soul adoption
Baby, in the hands of fools
You gotta love that main attraction
Here we go
I made it just the way you like it
I'll shake your hand for free
Why don't you see when I can see you
Because I really like this game
You gotta love that sole adoption
Baby, in the hands of fools
You gotta be that main attraction
Because I ain't getting outta the pool
Baby, I kinda like you crazy
Like climbing up the Wall of Fire
I know you wouldn't hurt me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, I like it when you're crazy
Like climbing up the Wall of Fire
I like it when you hurt me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me when my ship comes in, I'm underground
The girl lies in the sun until she's golden-brown
I just got a mission that I can't turn down
Killing Nazi zombies in a German town
Well I'm back
I got a cock made out of platinum
I got a bullet coming out of the sky
I got the world's last piece of chocolate
I got the full moon in my eye
I gotta make that soul adoption
Baby, in the hands of fools
You gotta love that main attraction
Because I ain't getting outta the pool
Baby, I kinda like you crazy
Like climbing up the Wall of Fire
I know you wouldn't hurt me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, I like it when you're crazy
Like climbing up the Wall of Fire
I like it when you hurt me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The lyrics of Monster Magnet's "Wall of Fire" are written in a stream-of-consciousness style, seemingly disconnected phrases strung together for their sonic impact rather than their logical coherence. The song's narrator exults in having amassed a collection of strange and powerful objects - a cock made of platinum, a bullet from the sky, the world's last piece of chocolate - and revels in his own mystique. He declares his intent to make a "soul adoption" (whatever that might entail) and muses on the allure of being the "main attraction," an object of desire for others to admire and desire.
The song's dark and dangerous feeling is accentuated by the reference to "climbing up the Wall of Fire," a perilous and potentially deadly act that the singer seems to find exciting. There is also a sense of otherworldliness and unreality in the lyrics, which are filled with vivid and surreal images, such as the girl lying in the sun until she's golden-brown and the mission to kill Nazi zombies in a German town. The repeated refrain of "Baby, I like it when you're crazy" reinforces the song's sense of danger and excitement, hinting at a relationship that is both volatile and thrilling.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wall of Fire" convey a sense of exhilaration and risk-taking, embracing the dangerous and indulging in the forbidden. The singer revels in his own power and mystique, as well as the allure of danger and the unknown.
