Lyrics
Wooo
Expression of excitement or enthusiasm
Those nights in December
Referencing specific nights in December, setting a temporal context
On the corner of now or never
Reflecting on a critical moment of decision or opportunity
Last night we told some jokes and you
Recalling a past night of humor and camaraderie
Finished up your last pack of holy smokes
Noting the completion of smoking a final pack of cigarettes
Oooooo
Repetition for emphasis or emotional intensity
Oooooo
-Welcome to the electric church
Introduction to a symbolic concept – the "electric church"
We'll right the scriptures but just watch them first
Indicating the intention to correct or redefine established beliefs
And on the cross you don't see a thing
Describing a scene where nothing is visible on the cross except injured birds
Except for little birds with their broken right wings
Suggesting vulnerability or fragility through the image of birds with broken wings
Ooooo
Repetition for emphasis or emotional intensity
Ooooo
-Let's go home and watch eraserhead
Proposing to go home and watch the film "Eraserhead"
And wonder what it is like to be dead
Pondering the experience of death while watching the mentioned film
And wonder what it is like to grow old
Contemplating the aging process and its impact
And feel your hand getting cold
Describing the sensation of one's hand becoming cold, possibly alluding to mortality
Cold
Repetition for emphasis, emphasizing the concept of coldness
I'm not your superman
Rejecting the role of a superhero or savior
I'm not your übermensch
Declaring the rejection of the "übermensch" (overman or superman) archetype
