Song: “One Armed Scissor”
Artist: At The Drive-In
Album: Relationship Of Command (2000)
…El Paso, Texas…
I remember the first time I listened to this album, it was like napalm being dropped on oxygen tanks.
“One Armed Scissor” is probably not the finest song on the album but it does have a reputation for being a classic.
For me this track always creates feelings of disillusionment, that the narrator has become detached from the rest of the world. Read somewhere that the song is partly about the heavy tour schedule that At The Drive-In underwent.
Either way this track (and album) is absolutly brilliant.
