LyricalAvenger, i'm not sure how well your hearing is, but from what i, and everyone else, hear, the lyrics posted are correct. and the inset lyrics CAN be wrong, but he DOES in fact say "haven't seen him smile in awile". besides, sometimes the lyrics are printed before the songs are actually produced, and the singers can and often do change or morph the words in one way or another. great overall song, this CD is an excellent way to evolve their music while still managing to keep a grip on their old style.

this song turns me on. Sean Ingram's screaming is so perfect for it.

alright so i think this song saying 'kill, smile, cut it out for me this time' i dont think its 'you, smile' b/c instead of turning to a drug.. he is killing his past life as a druggy, kinda like a reglance back to 'say days ago' and i think the refrence to blue is to meth but its also to water and pureity of how water can be.. it might be just me but i think the coolest thing about this song is how sean screams with him... oh and i think when he says kill he is just useing it as refrence to 'get rid of'.. and i think this is an amazing and briliant song... i love it

This was the only song on the album that didn't have complete lyrics in the inset. I have no idea where people got the lyrics I find on most sites (including this one) but they somehow managed to get THE ONLY LINE PRINTED IN THE INSET wrong! Wrong: Haven't seen him smile in awhile Right: Haven't seen him smile in a little while This leads me to doubt the accuracy of these lyrics’. I took it upon myself to figure out the lyrics for myself. It was really hard; Bert sure doesn’t have a die-hard take on pronunciation when he sings. (look at how on the first line, he ends “off” with a K-sound, or the ambiguity between “you” or “kill” in the heavy chorus.) Here’s the best I could come up with. I’ve capitalized the parts that I thought sounded different from the lyrics above. When the shirt came off, it was all in time When a m.m.m.minute turned into a mile And then I broke that GRID, and I cut it out And you got all turned on by the taste of THE OCEAN When I mention blue, all you thought was color When you mention drugs, all I thought was sober When your pants came off and I turned you over When you mention blue... Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile Haven't seen him smile in a LITTLE while Keep the mask, ALIGN, get it up in time There's a space between valleys and TRY CATCH a vibe Make a circle square, a rectangle curve Use a smile as a noun and NOW think like a verb Run quick, switch sides, SPOON FILLS WITH CANCER And the room is shaking, now you're changing places Then I switched my pace and my breathing races When you mention blue... Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile Haven't seen him smile in a LITTLE while [Background scream by Sean Ingram of Coalesce: (This is not) x6 (YOUR smile)] Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile Haven't seen him smile in a LITTLE while [There's a poem buried in the first part of this interlude that I just can't make out] YOU Smile Cut it out for me, cut it, cut it out Smile YOU Cut it out for me, cut it, cut it out (BREAK OUT AND HOWL) Kill Smile CCCCut it out for me this time Smile Haven't seen him smile in a LITTLE while [Background scream by Sean Ingram of Coalesce: (This is not) x6 (YOUR smile)] Kill Smile Cut it out for me this time Smile Haven't seen him smile in a LITTLE while (MY GOD, JANIE) (BREAK down and stay awake) Aaaaaaahaahaaa, smile. I’m very interested in hearing people’s thoughts on my interpretation of the lyrics. Again, ambiguity is prevalent throughout the song, so all of my capitalized changes are quite open to question / interpretation. (ps: anyone with good speakers / headphones -- or a professional sound editor? -- might be able to make out that poem in the interlude. doing so would instantly make you hot shit.)

I firmly believe he says "Kill your smile" in the chorus. Some other guy does back up screams in the bridge and choruses...dunno who he is...I'll know when the CD comes out and I see liner notes. The song's about Crystal Meth. Blue is slang for Crystal Meth. "When I mention blue, all you thought was color" And sex..maybe gay sex? "When the pants came off and I turned you over", "Run quick switch sides Spill the filled up canister And the room is shaking Now you're changing places, and I switched my pace" It's also about facades, that's what the entire smile thing is about. It's about pretending to be okay when you're not.
