"The Clincher" is the second single from Chevelle's third album This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In). The song is about claustrophobia, as confirmed by Sam Loeffler. However, many people erroneously infer that the song is the band's take on The Passion of Christ due to lyrics like "helped to nail down" which refers to the crucifixion.[1]
