Clue 1: In the beginning of this song, there is a line that is often used - sometimes with a slightly different wording - as an idiom. In the context of this song, the phrase should be taken literally, though.

Clue 2: In the lyrics to the song, you will find
  • the name of an influential 80’s metal band.
  • a high profile, yet not-so-influtential, 90’s metal band.
  • a long-lasting (hard) rock band whose commercial peak was in the 70s and 80s.
  • a Nirvana song and an Iggy Pop song.
Clue 3:
The lyrics are mainly in the present tense, although there is a notable departure from this at a significant moment.
