At-The-Drive-In - Relationship Of Command
“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. The Song Is Written From The Point Of View Of This Drunken And Drug-Fueled Stupor. The Song Also Seemingly Addresses The Imminent Split And Divide Of The Band Members Into Two Factions Omar And Cedric Who Formed The More Prog/experimental The Mars Volta And Jim Paul And Tony Who Formed The More Alternative Sparta .

“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. The song is written from the point of view of this drunken (and drug-fueled) stupor.
The song also seemingly addresses the imminent split and divide of the band members into two factions; Omar and Cedric (who formed the more prog/experimental The Mars Volta) and Jim, Paul and Tony (who formed the more alternative Sparta).
