r/coheed's Song of the Day #64: Key Entity Extraction III: Vic The Butcher

I love this song. A lot. Something about it fulfills my violent intense male side so I never have to go crazy and kill children or whatever. The way it makes murder sound fun and fulfilling is crazy and almost wrong, but in the best sort of way. Best way I can sum it up is "Baby, you're the prettiest thing I have ever seen, come with me, I want to make you dirty"

The Fiction- Vic was a brutal general that committed terrible war crimes, but was never brought to justice because he intimidated those who knew. There was one who stood up to him Sentry, but he was hanged by Vic. (We meet Sentry in Afterman: Descension) This song is about when Vic was finally exposed, and was going to be punished for his crimes, so he burned his building, number 184 to the ground, which contained a nursery school on the ground floor. When Sirius experiences his life, he chooses not to burn the building down, and that attracts Evagria, a benevolent entity who protects him. (songmeanings)

The Real- Claudio almost got into a fight at a concert, this song is his reflection of that. 184 was his old apartment, he wanted to "burn it down". Dude has some intense fantasies. Betcha he likes to dominate in bed.

The Part- I don't know! I can't decide between the verses or the chorus.
