------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies

it seems that with all the controversy on these comments, an uneducated person on this matter would be swayed back and forth like a paper cup in a hurricane. in my opinion, evil is everywhere, and it gets more heinous as the human race trys to become more "civilized". as for the song its self, there are to many keys in the song to say it's just coincident. even if if the song was just based off of an urban legend, it still holds the fact that the song is about the Possum Kingdom Lake murders, fictional or otherwise. plus, overall, it's a great fucking song.

Potential song meaning | Reviewer: Kraky
------ About the song Tyler performed by Toadies

It seems to me this song is written from the perspective of a stalker. The girl, Tyler, is trying to get away from him, driving to Mexico. He follows, thinking, as the insane tend to do, that she secretly wants him along.

Brilliantly-written song! Disturbing, but f'ing great. I mean, the scene where he breaks in through the window, pours himself a beer, stumbles in the hallway, hears her, and presses against the door as she pulls at the sheets in fear... so vivid. And the inflection on "she pulls the covers tighter" is perfect.

------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies

Back in the early 1990's college boys used to take girls to Possum Kingdom Park Lake about 70 miles from Dallas, Texas. Several teenage girls were found murdered in the woods around Possum Kingdom Lake. The media thought it was a serial killer in the area, although no one was ever arrested. Lewis heard some of these stories since The Toadies are from Fort Worth and he added some stuff to write the lyrics to "Possum Kingdom".

------ About the song Away performed by Toadies

I feel haaaa! Here it goes, I was working in the bottom, of some oltpic divers new diving pool. Fourteen feet deep. I was in the bottom of the pool in about 2 and a half feet of water. Searching a good spot to place a submergable pump down to get the water out. While in the water a guy I worked with plugged it in. Wow, I could'nt believe it I was dying. Today, right fuckin now. I was 18 years. What happened next was soothing. I saw like, a slide show of the happy times in my life. Probably 10 photos of me being happy. I mean total calm happy. I really don't know how long I had been being electocuted. Man, Iwas so at peace. The only thing I kept thinking was I did'nt get to say goodbye to my Sister Mom and step Dad. I saw nothing but, white as this was happening. But, knew I was going somewhere beautiful. It's as soon as I took my first step it was starting to go backwards. I was thinking NO i don't wanna go back. It seems when i felt I was told to go back. The plug was pulled and I was there hoping someone would pull. The boss saw what was happening and made it happen. For about 3 sec's I felt good and the collapsed. I eventually crawled to the deck of this 14 feet deep pool. I layed for about 20 minutes on the deck and went back to work. I was on my way to be under the oldest trees. Peace

------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies

I grew up in Ft. Worth and happen to know that this song is about a single rape. It's just a well written, dark song. To my knowledge, it's just fantasy about a camp counselor and his accidental victim. Vampires?? Really...There are a lot of stories out there about murders or bodies dumped in Possum Kingdom Lake. My brother has worked for the Palo Pinto county sheriff's dept for years. Those stories are false. Occasionally a body is recovered from the lake..cause of death, drowning. Please stop with all of the stories about murders, serial rapists, and the undead. Thanks.

------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies

The song is not about vampires and to the "boner dude"...it shouldn't get you excited...its actually kind of creepy that you would think that.
The other people who posted that this song is about Possum Kingdom Lake/rape are correct. It's an awesome song, one of my favorites...but it is very dark and disturbing. There are a lot of videos out there that have nothing to do with the song that is playing. Maybe they had a hard time projecting the actual story of the song into a video...maybe they thought it would be too offensive or politically incorrect...who knows...the song isn't about vampires...but every person is entitled to their own opinion.

------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies

Only a couple of you know what this song is about. A serial killer/rapist would bring girls to a lake near Dallas called possum kingdom lake. He would take a walk with them an rape them behind the boathouse that they talk about in the song. It's a really demented song but it's well written. I like it

------ About the song Possum Kingdom performed by Toadies

This song is so disturbing, I love it. The beat just really gets me going... I especially love the part where it's leading up to "Do you wanna die?" So great. I use this for inspiration when I want to write something reallyyyyyyyyy really dark. :)
