eversio is right..this whole album is dedicted to julio venegas. he was in a coma for 7 days i believe for shooting up rat poison...and then he commited suicide about 2 years ago. and the album is a story that Cedric wrote. and the story is basically julios dream that he had while he was in a coma.. and thus is the basic concept of de-loused in the comatorioum..

he didnt shoot up his mothers morphine he shot up rat poison and his arm was withered and had to be grafted..."nurse says that my skin will need a graft" and its in Son Et Lumiere/Inertiatic ESP where he enters the coma, he's not quite in it yet. Roullette dares is the first song set in the comatorium.

Actually...Julio took his mother's morphine and shot it up. He went into a coma, and after he woke, he killed himself. If you listen, the keyboard sounds like an ambulance, and the violent guitar/drum parts sound like a defibrillator..

http://www.thecomatorium.com Go on song meanings>deloused>book interpretations and look around on the pinned topics to be enlightened on the meaning of this whole album. Yes the keyboard does resemble an ambulance as CERPIN TAXT is taken to the hospital after shooting up his mother's morphine. And to settle the argument: 'Gestating with all the other rats' does refer to him laying in the hospital ward with all the other comatose patients.

The other rats aren't necessarily drug addicts, but just other comatose patients. One definition of gestation is conception or development of the mind, so it refers to the mental journeys and enlightenment he gains during the coma.

on thier website, they describe Julio as ridden with scars, and that his arm was shriveled from injecting rat poison. That's what I think they mean by "skin will need a graft" part.
