Much of 2001-3 was spent on “The Dragon Experience” as well as filling the drummer role on ohGr’s tour. Then came the Skinny Puppy album, “The Greater Wrong of The Right” as well as the Vault series; releases of previously-unheard material from his various projects available through subCON. Some albums included in the series were Skinny Puppy’s “Puppy Gristle”, Download’s “III Steps Forward”, “ Inception : The Subconscious Jams 1994 - 1995”, The Tear Garden’s “eye Spy With My Little Eye”, PlatEAU’s “Iceolater”, & Hilt’s “The Worst of the Flu 1985-1989.” Most recently from subCON, series 2 from the vAult bundle included bonus releases such as Skinny Puppy’s “Back & Forth Vol. 7”, Download’s “FiXeR”, & Plateau’s “Kushbush.”
cEvin has said he is currently working on new Puppy material, LP #3 for SPV, which includes "some extreme forms of heavy" with 3 pieces handed over to 'Hiwatt' Marshall along with 19 pieces of "Scaremeister" (a project / nickname given to cEvin after meeting Schwarzenegger on the "End of Days" set.) Otto Von Schirach joins the Scaremeister project in collaboration, which is now in full swing with 'Hiwatt'.
Another new vAult series, which came out in late 2009, includes new releases from Download, PlatEAU, The Tear Garden, Bananasloth, Djoto, Otto Von Schirach, & Sonic Death Monkey / Basek.

cEVIN Key Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's always your answer, isn't it?
If it offends you, close the door
Tell someone else to kill it.
So Honeybun, any recommendations?
Suggestions on how to kill it?
The hairdryer?
Hey! How about a really long straw?
As long as I don't suck too hard, that is!
Kill it!
Maybe it leaves a stain.
Tell you what: Why don't we go and have coffee somewhere
And by the time we're back, maybe it's gone!
Kill it!
We could move
This place is a pit anyhow!
The landlord's a nazi!
Imagine. No posessions.
That's what John Lennon said
And you know how much you've always liked John Lennon.
Kill it!
There are two of them now
Approximately 2,000 gelatinous eyes
Wobbling, indifferent.
Focusing on nobody, nothing in particular.
One of them is dripping down the side of the bed
Onto the floor which I had meticulously cleaned only yesterday.
Kill it!
Look, why don't you kill it?
It's always me that has to play the Grim Reaper
It's against nature!
Live and let live, say I!
We're all God's creatures, goddammit!
Kill it!
Sixteen.
One of them is seeping under the door
And nobody notices.
One of them seems to be fondling the receiver on the phone
Nobody notices.
One of them is dripping into the TV
Nobody notices.
One of them appears to be copulating with the toothpaste
Nobody notices.
Kill it!
Why don't we just burn the place?
Nobody's gonna care!
Nobody's gonna know who did it!
Kill it!
I don't want to ? kill it!
You kill it!
Hell, I wouldn't even kill a l'il ol' fly!
The lyrics to cEVIN Key's song "A Certain Stuuckey" are a haunting depiction of someone struggling with their own psychological demons. The repeated phrase "kill it" serves as a refrain throughout the song, suggesting a desire to eradicate the source of the singer's mental anguish. However, each time the phrase is repeated, it takes on a different meaning. At times, it seems like a desperate plea for help, while at other times it is a cold, calculated command.
The verses of the song depict a series of surreal, unsettling images that serve to underscore the singer's fragile state of mind. There are references to gelatinous eyes, toothpaste copulation, and a landlord who is likened to a Nazi. These are all elements of a fever dream, and they serve to convey the singer's sense of disorientation and disconnection from reality.
Overall, the lyrics to "A Certain Stuuckey" paint a vivid picture of what it feels like to be struggling with mental illness. The repeated refrain of "kill it" suggests a desire to rid oneself of the source of pain, but the surreal and unsettling imagery suggests that this may be easier said than done.
