Discover the story of the song > One Armed Scissor – At the Drive-In

The protagonist is talking about some kind of space mission that has gone wrong. He describes the cargo bay and the oxygen tanks, and wonders if the crew has survived. He talks about some strange equipment on board, and mentions being far away and wanting to remember. The chorus repeats the phrase "cut away" and "send transmission from the one armed scissor". The song is difficult to understand, but seems to be about a dangerous space mission.
