r/coheed's Song of the Day #18" The Camper Velourium III: Al The Killer

This song is actually probably in my bottom ten Coheed songs. Love the chorus, dislike the rest. The vocals are just too weird sounding in the verses. It's a shame; and it's probably what keeps In Keeping Secrets from passing Good Apollo as my favorite album.

The Fiction- At this point in the story, we have the group of Claudio, Ambellina, and Sizer. They need to make their way to the House Atlantic on the world of Silent Earth to face Wilhelm Ryan. However, they are stranded on the world of Godder Damm.

To get off the planet, they need the help of a character named Al, because he has a ship called the Camper Velorium that can get them off-planet.

However, along with the first two Camper Velorium parts, this song is strictly about Al and his backstory. He is a serial killer who kills women that remind him of an ex girlfriend (or possibly ex wife). Her name is Luci. He is obsessed with befriending women that remind him of Luci, and then killing them.

The first part are about stalking women and then the actual killing of the women. This part is about what is going through Al's head after he has killed so many women He is just insane. You can just take the lyrics at face value after knowing this fact. "Die white girls, die white girls" is just something he says in his head all the time, as his main objective is killing white girls that remind him of Luci. (anakanakin at songmeanings doing his thing)

The Real- I can't really fathom how this song is about Claudio's life, unless he's incredibly racist against white women. But that can't be true.

The Part- DIE WHITE GIRLS DIE WHITE GIRRRRRRRRRRRRRLSSSSSS obviously
