New Fang
Them Crooked Vultures Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

New fang
Nothing
I don't mean
To parade
By the sucking on a one or other

Stand up
Step aside
Open wide
Hangin' out
My ability is gone

Want two?
Yes I do
Went along
Take a dose
Getting gone for girls
Blue slips
Blood sex sweat
Can I go
I think it's what I gotta know

Sometimes ya break a finger on the upper hand
Think you got me confused for a better man

Sometimes you break the finger on the upper hand
Say you've got me confused, ah

I ain't a better man

No slack
Cadillac
Couldn't quit
Guns slaps
As we take it back

Except
What I left
Far behind
In a time
When my mind was like a landmine

Tailgate
By the lane
Too much too young
Everybody gonna go along

Turn red
No show
Gotta let us know your gonna roll

Sometimes ya break a finger on the upper hand
Said you've got me confused with a better man

Sometimes you break the finger on the upper hand
I know you've got me confused

Don't go, oh no

New fang pressing down low
No more waiting around for

New fang pressing down, ah
No more waiting around, ah

New fang
New fang
They gonna wait? No

New fang




New
They ain't gonna wait no more

Overall Meaning

The song "New Fang" by Them Crooked Vultures is full of cryptic lyrics that are hard to decipher. It seems to be a song about indulging in vices and getting lost in the moment. The first verse talks about "sucking on a one or other," which could be interpreted as smoking or drinking, and the singer's "ability is gone" after doing so. The chorus echoes the idea that sometimes you can get confused about who people are and what they want, and it's clear that the singer is not a "better man" and is acknowledging their flaws. The second verse talks about being stuck in the past, when the singer's mind was like a "landmine," which could suggest that they are struggling with memories or trauma. The end of the song seems to suggest that there is a new opportunity or experience on the horizon, and the excitement is palpable.


Overall, "New Fang" is a dark and moody song with a catchy beat and lyrics that will leave you wanting more. The guitar riffs are heavy and the vocals are raw and rough, adding to the grunge feel. While there is no clear storyline or plot to follow, the song evokes feelings of rebellion and self-destructiveness, as well as hope for a better future.

New fang
No thang
Had it made
To parade
Found a sucker
Now I want another

Stand up
Step aside
Open wide
Handing out and on
Until the feelings gone

Want to?
Yes, I do
Wanna learn
Taking turns getting carpet burns

Loose lips
Lipstick spit
Come or go
I think it's both I gotta know

Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand
I think you've got me confused for a better man
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand
Said you got me confused, ah

I ain't a better man...

No slack
Cadillac
Couldn't quit
Gums flap so
Here's your teeth back

Accept
What I left
Far behind in a time
When my mind was like a landmine

Tailgate
By the lake
Too much, too young
Every button gonna come undone

Tightrope
No joke
Nothing left
So you've gone baroque

Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand
Said you've got me confused with a better man
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand
I know you've got me confused...

New fang pressing down on
No more waiting around for
New fang pressing down on
No more waiting around for
New fang, new fang
Ain't gonna wait, no
New fang, new, ah
Ain't gonna wait no more
