Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
power up coal through the system out to the right said you're in
my light - lock down the generator on man screw down use the system
use the main plan full power up to the point man don't fuck with me
Loco
Lock down here latch the generator on screw the system full power hit
The opening lines, "Pull - steamroller rollin' through my head said attached to loco power up coal through the system out to the right said you're in my light" can be interpreted as the singer feeling overwhelmed and out of control, as if a powerful machine is running through his mind. He feels like all he can do is go along with this unstoppable force, represented by the term "loco". The next line, "lock down the generator on man screw down use the system use the main plan full power up to the point man don't fuck with me", suggests that the singer is now in control of this machine and is warning anyone who tries to interfere with him to back off. The repetition of the phrase "full power" underscores the intensity of his emotions.
The chorus simply exclaims "Loco" repeatedly, emphasizing the central message of the song - that the singer is in a state of uncontrollable madness or frenzy. The lines "Lock down here latch the generator on screw the system full power hit the main plan" repeated in the second verse, continue the theme of taking control of the situation and asserting power over others. The phrase "screw the system" implies a rejection of societal norms and expectations.

Be a teenager in the 90's and growing with this band, KoRn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Deftones, Fear Factory, System of a Down, Static-X, Soulfly, etc... what a great era.
@undeadshuffler2558
Tbh for music, the best I rekon
@MyXyle666
deftones, static, and soulfly sadly ive never seen live. though i wasnt ever a huge soulfly fan. sevendust was pretty good also, same with rammstein if you wanna tie them in as well. i really wish i would have seen staticx when i had the chance though, didnt the lead singer die on their first or second tour?

I always hated Soad and felt they were greatly overhyped, especially back in the early 200's when you could not escape hearing Chop Suey fucking everywhere. The rest of the bands I liked though. I would say that overall Mudvayne and Fear Factory's music have held up the best. I will always like Korn and Slipknot, but no where near as much as I did as a teenage. Slipknot's last cd was probably their worst in my opinion. As for Korn, it has been a long time since I have bought one of their cds, but even when I did I would say they were 50/50 for good albums vs bad albums (though probably much higher towards bad now as they experiment too much for my taste and don't like the newer non metal influences Korn has embraced in later cds. I doubt they will ever be able to come close to the success they had with Follow the Leader or pull off a successful album that will gain lots of new fans decades later like Green Day managed to do with American Idiot.

Brent Albrecht ive never listened to a soad song i dont like. Soad is my top 3 favorite bands but ill admit that chop suey is way too overplayed. Although its a good song, their greatest dont get as much recognition. Serj's solo work is amazing too, hes a one of a kind musician
@codybishop7526
This was the era of skater music getting a bit hardcore. Not quite nu metal or death metal, but metal-lite
@staceyw4355
