BIOGRAGRAPY
What started as a bunch of teenage San Diegan Slayer/Manowar fans writing songs about Skelator taking over the world has turned into a bunch of 20 something year old Rainbow/Sabbath fans writing songs about their favorite fantasy books. The band has stayed true to itself through the years writing epic songs, and rock anthems. We are not a joke, but we also know how to have fun. Bands that take themselves too seriously bore us. But bands that don't play from the heart should be destroyed, this is our decree.

Psychic Silver Wheels
Skelator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the neon streets
Where the cyber slavers steal your mind
Jacked into the power
Smashing through the grid
Leaving Megacity far behind
Ice cold burning steel
Laser eyes and napalm thighs
Hellbound highway queen
Left it all behind us
Sirens in the sky
Driving through the desert in the night
Taking on contenders
Fall before her might
Cruising on until we see the light
You got my piston running hot
Just show me what you got
Ice cold burning steel
Psychic silver wheels
Laser eyes and napalm thighs
Hellbound highway queen
The lyrics of Skelator's Psychic Silver Wheels tell a story of two individuals finding each other in a dystopian future where the cyber slavers steal people's minds. They find each other on the neon streets and connect through their love for speed and power. Together they jack into the power and leave the rest of society behind as they travel through the desolate wasteland. The chorus describes their fearless and powerful journey with the metaphors of "psychic silver wheels," "laser eyes," and "napalm thighs." They are unstoppable and nothing can stand in their way as they race towards their unknown destination.
The second verse continues their journey into the desert, where they face competitors and crush them with ease. They are on a mission to find something, and nothing can stop them from achieving it. The last line of the verse hints at their ultimate goal, which is to find the light.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of rebellion and adventure, highlighting the power of individuals to overcome the dystopian society they live in. Skelator's use of vivid imagery and metaphors allows the listener to be transported to this world and experience the thrilling ride.
Line by Line Meaning
Had to find each other
We had to look for one another
In the neon streets
We searched for each other in the illuminated alleys
Where the cyber slavers steal your mind
We looked in places where corrupt people manipulate your thoughts
Jacked into the power
We gained control over the technology
Smashing through the grid
We broke free from the confines of technology
Leaving Megacity far behind
We left the city and its chaos behind
Ice cold burning steel
The motorcycle is made of sleek and powerful metal
Psychic silver wheels
The wheels of the motorcycle were imbued with powerful energy
Laser eyes and napalm thighs
The rider had the ability to shoot powerful lasers from their eyes and legs
Hellbound highway queen
The rider was a majestic queen of the road leading to the inferno
Left it all behind us
We abandoned everything that once held us back
Sirens in the sky
The helicopters were not a hindrance, but a signal to follow
Driving through the desert in the night
We crossed the barren desert at night with our motorcycle
Taking on contenders
We faced any obstacle that dared to obstruct our path
Fall before her might
Any competitor would succumb to the power of the queen
Cruising on until we see the light
We continue our voyage until we reach the end
You got my piston running hot
You excite me beyond belief
Just show me what you got
Please display your abilities to me
