Slug

In the spirit of song-a-day, I let a lot of things stand as they were, notably some lyric lines that are little more than filler. Bleah. It wasn't fun singing the end of the chorus.
This song was a clear attempt at achieving a certain sound. I do wonder what impression it leaves on the listener.
Lyrically it came across a lot more mean-spirited than I had intended. I wasn't trying to write an angry song, more one of wry amusement at this creature that couldn't harm me now matter how creepy and panic-inspiring it might be. You know how people overreact to little creatures like slugs and bugs and such? I was trying to play off that. I liked it as a metaphor.
For the soap-opera-oriented, this song isn't about anything personal.
