FACE POLLUTION

I can count it on my fingers
I've got all my reasons not to feel
I'm numb as rigor mortis
Scared by monkey faces
Drowned in shark fins

But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you

Now I'm in the mirror
Now it's getting clear
I fear that I'm in you
Now I'm into plastics
Now I've made a mask
It looks like fish heads

But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you

Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution

	maybe its about acne? plastic surgery sounds good too but consider these:"now im in the mirror/now its getting clear" "i can count it on my fingers" could be counting the zits. makes sense with the title "Face Pollution" too. well itsa great song especially when he yells FACE POLLUTION! yeah thats what grunge is all about, nay, rock itself. nay is a funny word. yeah thats all i got to say about that.

No Picture Roman Rhythm Player	#2 by Roman Malik at Jun 21, 1994 at 2:03 AM EST
	I would say something like his opinion of how people try to make themselves beautiful by either putting make-up on or getting plastic surgery (I fear that I'm in you, Now I'm into plastics, Now I've made a mask). He doesn't want to be that (But I don't feel like feeling, feeling like you)

No Picture brian Average	#3 by brian haun at Jun 29, 1994 at 7:20 AM EST
	i think he is addressing his audience saying he doesn't want to be our slave and it is making him numb, making him cry, perhaps the face pollution is his worn out face or his tears, but he says 'I fear that I'm in you', fears he is one of us fears he is part of us. He then says that he has been changed by us to be like us 'now that i'm into plastics', 'Now I;ve made a mask'. I think the mask could be him hiding his insecurities to become one of us but he doesn't feel like being part of us. He doesn;t want to be one with us... I don't feel like feeling I don't feel like feeling like you i really think those lines have separate meanings and that the previous line is not just an incomplete version of the second. thats what i got from it.
