Band's Comments | Lyrics | |
Billy: "'Disarm' is about my childhood and how I turned into an asshole." (1994)
Billy: "...a song like Disarm was completely intuitive." Billy: "We've tried three different versions of the song "Disarm," from playing it just like the record to playing the same arrangement in a very stripped-down fashion - just voice and guitar, with the drums entering halfway through. Then we did a totally heavy version for a TV show in England. It was the exact same arrangement, but the approach was different."
About... Billy: "Chopping off somebodys arms." Jimmy: "About Dis-arm and Dat-arm." (The Great Pumpkin that Never Arrived)
Billy: "The reason I wrote Disarm was because, I didn't have the guts to kill my parents, so I thought I'd get back at them through song. And rather then have an angry, angry, angry violent song I'd thought I'd write something beautiful and make them realize what tender feelings I have in my heart, and make them feel really bad for treating me like shit." |

Disarm you with a smile
I used to be a little boy
Disarm you with a smile
I used to be a little boy
My love
The killer in me is the killer in you | |
