“Snowballs” refers to ingesting one’s own semen from another person’s mouth.

Here, efemjay is rationalizing, or trying to explain away his friend’s gayness. His friend isn’t really gay, he’s just “overly polite” – that’s why he “pushes in a guy’s stool.”

This is a play on the literal meaning of “pushing in” someone’s stool – literally, pushing in their chair at a dinner table; and the alternative meaning, which is to push in one’s lover’s fecal matter with one’s penis during anal sex.

“Fiat-Like Buyers” is rapped from the perspective of a nihilistic character, aware of the U.S.’s impending financial collapse, but unable to muster enough concern to act. Consumed by debt, the character is on the verge of suicide. Partying and shopping promise temporary reprieve. The song is trippy in that it references Austrian economics alongside hard-core porn and children’s TV programming – things on efemjay’s mind at the time of the song’s writing. The production is unique to Full Blown AIDS, having an electronica sound provided by efemjay’s long-time collaborator The Chancellor. This is the most polarizing song on FBA, the favorite of some, the least favorite of others. Also, the title “Fiat-Like Buyers” refers to spending money as if it can easily be printed (fiat money), but also harkens back to a 1995 FMJ song, “Fat Like Byers” (Jason Byers was a fat kid at efemjay’s school).
