Hitch-Hiker

I think it may have been made up by the band.
To my mind it means something along the lines of The science (ology) of everything Vital or important (vital) in life.
just a guess.

Vitalogy is a conjoined word which regards vita, meaning life, and logy, meaning doctrine, theory, and/or science. It also means to express by oral or written documentation. In translation of its Latin form - logia, to its Greek adapted-form - logos, which means word, it is also defined as to study or to investigate.

I looked in the glossary of Vitalogy, but it isn't there. I love the cover/book of Vitalogy. I think there (hidden) messages everywhere. Especially the glossary and general index mean a lot I think.
