This song’s message is very similar to “20 Eyes”, the preceding track. Both narrators are so removed from human society that they feel as though they have undergone an actual physical “transformation”. This transformation, however, did not occur for the better. They describe living in states of isolation, rendered freakish and grotesque. The narrator is now completely lacking “the body of a man from Earth”.

However, there is one crucial difference between the two songs: one of these men is understandable to us, even in his monstrous pain, and is likely just a confused kid who feels as if he doesn’t belong. The other – the one we meet in this song – is unrepentant, possessed by an evil of unknown origin and positively ecstatic as he walks among us, comparing himself to passersby and reveling in the jarring contrast.

Although Danzig is always more than capable of using allegory or double entendres in order to show us the humanity in the monster, sometimes there’s just no humanity to show. There is only the monster.
