Beneath a catchy, upbeat melody, with extremely fastly spoken lyrics with references to popular culture, the song contains dark lyrics about a drug user’s descent into crystal meth addiction and his implied sexual activities while trying to “want something else.”
According to lead singer Stephan Jenkins, the song was meant as a response to Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side”, but from a San Francisco perspective. The style of the song reflects changes that were occurring in the San Francisco music scene, particularly a growing interest in hip-hop.
