Lyrically it\u2019s inspired by self centered people that feel the need to make every conversation, tragedy, including someone else\u2019s success or even death all about themselves. Without fail they do it time and again. They truly think they are glorious in every way. Especially now with social media they have a bigger outlet and platform to glorify what they feel is their brilliance and\/or opinion on the matter while always circling back to themselves. Everyone knows someone like this whether it be in business, sports, acting and most definitely in music! The thing that amazes me most is that most of these exhaustingly annoying ego-maniacs have no idea that they are doing it. However it is very apparent to everyone around them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;This song is basically the thrash metal bastard spawn of \u2018You\u2019re So Vain\u2019 by <strong>Carly Simon<\/strong>. As it was inspired by a couple of actual people that are too damn self absorbed to ever realize collectively they were my muse. In the ugliest way! We all know someone like this. And I just wanted to express my disgust in that human trait the best way possible! Angry music!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;See you on the road!
