Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
So far I'm enjoying the reveals - both the artwork and track titles. This whole album seems to have a much darker feel to it than BS, which is exactly the direction I was hoping they'd take.
So, I'm guessing My Father's Son is about a man who has to decide between drinking a bottle of flaming lightning, or a bottle of flaming jizz in order to save his father, himself or his brother. The consequences of drinking either are unknown, but one is good, one is bad - the decision is the hardest part.

If he doesn't drink the lightning or jizz by 10:04pm he will be wiped from existence!

When all the tracks have been revealed, are we going to have a 'Guess the track order' thread?

When I saw the sperm I instantly thought of QOTSA...which is a good sperm-association in my opinion.

Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
The first thing I thought of was that verse about "I only do what I see my father doing" or something. I won't look it up or write it in here or mocking will ensue, but I still think the song alludes to it.Walker Bait wrote:"My Fathers Son" its about Jesus ...the father being God (our father) and the son being Jesus.

Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
I'd guess its about fighting against becoming like your father, fighting against your own genes. I dunno whether they're a metaphorical father and genes or literal though.
Fighting against it with Lightning though, I'm trying to figure out if the lighting bolt itself represents something specific over all the art work though. It's on the bottle and the record player so it could be positive, but then its on the pulpit and the monster fish things eye...which i assume are both negative. Maybe it's just belief in something, fueling all these things no matter what side of the fence you're on, being used for both good an evil.
...s'all i got.
