| I love how he finds beauty in all of these terrible things. "But man, you should've seen it His flesh explode" "And her nose starts to bleed A most beautiful ruby red" "There's an arc to his fist as he swings Oh man, what a beautiful thing" That's kind of the way I see life. You can find beauty in anything, if you look at it the right way. | |

| To me this is one of the most beautifuky written songs out there. Because its so true and honest like so very few songs really are. It reminds me alot of thursday and some of their lyrics.Completely different styles of music but lyrics that are honest and real. it shows a side of life that we rarely ever want to talk about and hardly ever see. | |

| hey, this song is awesome!!! I kinda like the edited version cause the music is so good just by itself. the lyrics are definitely gruesome but the song is great!! | |

| I guess it's fair to say that it attempts to express truth, but I think analyzing the truth that Jenkins is putting forth would be a more interesting interpretation of the song. What is he saying? To tell you the truth, I'm not sure--I read he's a schizo anyway, does he know what he is saying? He's the most amazing artist I've ever encountered, but really complex. From the last verse of the song, I gather he's giving a social commentary on how children's minds are imprinted by a "californication" for lack of a better term (thanx Chili Peppers). I think Hollywood represents American culture, and the song represents how corrupt the products are of this culture. | |
