Songfacts®:

  • The Offspring started writing this brink-of-insanity tune back in 1992, when they released their second album, Ignition, but it took eight years for it to see the light of day on Conspiracy Of One. Guitarist Noodles touched on the song's meaning in an interview with Kool magazine: "'Vultures' is another of my favorite songs on this record, and strangely it's a lot slower than the kind of song I normally like ... For me, this song is about somebody who thinks he's losing his mind in a relationship - if things aren't going well, he thinks he's going crazy. I know I've been in relationships where I've been thinking: 'Is it me? Am I just totally crazy? What's going on - somebody please tell me I'm okay!'"
