Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Switchblade. By Songfacts®.

Clyne: "That was a really, really fun song for me to write. The narrator is realizing consequence, that there are consequences to predatory actions, and oftentimes they're not to the external world, they're to yourself. There's a lot of bravado in the narrator - in the kid - to begin with: 'We're gonna go and get rich, we don't care who we harm.' Then by the end, there's a certain degree of responsibility in the consequences that he or she realizes, and I like that. Sort of the process of growing up." (Get more in our Roger Clyne interview.
