"I am no saint and make no claims to being in the right / It's just for now, I am wrong-less"

I kind of go back and forth on how I feel about Queens of the Stone Age. I used to not care for them at all, then Them Crooked Vultures premiered and it convicned me to give QotSA another shot, and I definitely liked them more than I used to. I still feel like the vocal mixing here is a little odd and I can't really seeing it being a go-to for me, but I did start to dig this song the more I listened to it. Super solid riff work and I love the breakdown toward the end.

The aesthetics are all there to try and create a menacing, threatening vibe. The problem with it as a villain song is that it's all very vague, and the most vague thing about it is who it's supposed to be from the perspective of. Like I try to get context for all songs I listen to for this, and as far as I can tell there isn't any (hence Josh Homme is listed as the villain, simply because he's singing). Like there's definitely something threatening going on; if we take the lyrics literally, the singer is chasing or hunting down someone with ill intent, but that's about as far as we can go with it.
