Simultaneously all three members where already playing for major labels in separate bands: Godspeed, Monster Magnet and Core. The Atomic Bitchwax slowly evolved for 15 years as a players band with the enduring vision to "play what you want".
Their music is a combination of 60s psychedelic rock, and 70s riff rock filtered though the progressive rock influences of today. Since their first release in 1999 'The Atomic Bitchwax' on Tee Pee Rec., they have toured every year in North America and Europe covering over 15 countries and continue to expand. In that time the band has released five more records including three full lengths. 'TAB-2, 3 and 4', two EPs 'Spit Blood', and 'Boxriff', which included a DVD live show filmed in Seattle's Sunset Tavern. Their music has also appeared in popular TV shows including 'Jackass', 'Home-wrecker' and 'Fox sports'. Future plans include the 2011 release of 'The Local Fuzz', boasting one 40 min. track of over 50 riffs back to back. This was followed by a live tour in April that year.

The Atomic Bitchwax Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No time is like this time should we make a call tonight
Could you do me a solid, will you nollie said he'd be here
Said he'd be here, nollie's coming could you do me a solid
Will you and so we set on multiple fire we should stop cause

I'm not getting higher
Going in again
I can't cover it

Get in your car 25 minutes

Could you do me a solid, will you nollie said he'd be here
Said he'd be here, nollie's coming could you do me a solid
Will you and so we set on multiple fireI'm just shocked
'Cause we're not getting higher

Hey kid, hey kid what's happening what's going on tonight
Could you dome a solid, will you, no, I won't look into the sun again
Well I detect a blue pathfinder eject the core and lighten up the

Payload. time's up and now you got to go
I hope you get home safe in the Taurus.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Solid" by The Atomic Bitchwax are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. It seems to be a conversation between two individuals who are considering whether or not to do something risky or dangerous. The line "no time is like this time" suggests a sense of urgency or maybe even desperation, as if the decision at hand cannot be put off for another day. The singer asks their companion to "do me a solid," which is a casual way of saying "do me a favor." The favor in question is not explicitly stated, but it seems to be related to meeting up with someone named Nollie.

As the conversation continues, there are references to fire and getting high, which could be interpreted literally as drug use or metaphorically as a sense of excitement or danger. The line "I can't cover it" suggests that the singer is struggling to hide their true feelings or intentions. At one point, another person (possibly a third party) is addressed, asking what's going on tonight. The singer again asks for a favor, but this time it is refused. The final lines seem to introduce a new character, who is driving a blue Pathfinder and ejecting a core. It's hard to say exactly what this means, but it could be a reference to some kind of action movie-type scenario.

Overall, the lyrics to "Solid" are somewhat enigmatic and leave a lot up to interpretation. It seems to be a conversation between two people who are contemplating doing something risky or dangerous, possibly related to drugs or fire. The inclusion of other characters (like Nollie and the blue Pathfinder driver) adds to the sense of intrigue and mystery.

Let's take advantage of the moment and make a call tonight

Could you do me a solid, will you nollie said he'd be here

Said he'd be here, nollie's coming could you do me a solid
Nollie said he will come, can you still do me a favor?

Will you and so we set on multiple fire we should stop cause
Will you help me? We started multiple fires, but we should stop because

I'm not getting higher
I'm not feeling any better

Going in again
Trying again

I cannot hide it or pretend it's not happening

I see a blue car and they dropped something that made it lighter.
