“One Armed Scissor” is the first single from At The Drive-In’s third album, Relationship of Command. The lyrics, as with all ATD-I songs, are cryptic. However, they represent the heavy touring schedule of the band, which ironically was one of the reasons why ATD-I reputedly split up. A “one armed scissor” is what “Vodka Red Bull” is called in Canada (Toronto) when a shot of vodka is dropped into Red Bull—similar to a Jägerbomb. On the road, supposedly the band is constantly intoxicated.
