First impression after reading the lyrics a couple of times and listening to the first couple of minutes ...
I read the lyrics first and thought they were creepy and unpleasant. This guy has the wrong idea about parenthood, if it is really meant to be a song about a father/son relationship?
Then I listened to the music. It's quite enticing and I found it an interesting enough distraction from the "poison devils" in the lyrics. Compulsive rhythm, some Seal-like chord progressions and the Metallica-signature changes in texture and dynamics.
Appealing, but misguided. Is it nasty or just depressingly naive?
Don't ask me. I'm probably too old to be in on the joke.
