| I'll check these lyrics more carefully later, even though it's clearly "lust to my brain" each time. (This includes the backwards part at the beginning) Of the three ideas currently on the table about the theme of this song (sin --> repent / sex / suicide), I don't see how there's any contest: suicide creates the most sweeping consistancy with the lyrics. They'll clean up the mess Bite into the bottle/chew up the glass Kick out the chair/hung there The abuse (you've) been through I think much of what turns people off about The Used -- yes, aside from Bert's less-than-palatable screaming, which I rather quite enjoy -- is the poetic, seemingly nonsensicle lyrics. Some people need to understand EVERYTHING a song is trying to say. I don't really give a rat's ass sometimes: if the music moves me to tears or to moshing, I could give a shit less what the singer says, as long as he says it EFFECTIVELY. "Well, you're never gonna find it, if you're looking for, it won't come your way": ungrammatical. "Dined and dashed, the pianist peddled into morning": meaningless. So what? The songs evoke feeling that I cannot deny and will not ignore just because of the freaking words, y'know? | |

| ok i agree with everything that "chino" said exept ""And you lied to the angels Said I stabbed you to death If we go out the same time Then they'll clean up the mess" That's just so awesome! That if one person goes down the other has to clean it up. But together they go down, they leave it for the angels. "and you lied to the angel said i stabbed you to death"...thats saying the girl said he raped her (stabbing to death....because a raping can kill you emotionally and mentally) "If we go out the same time then they'll clean up the mess"...if you just have sex with me then its both of our fault, both of our sins, and we both take the blame and the repetance together and they'll clean it up am i close or way off but this i what i get | |

| Man this song is real gritty! And I don't mean the guitar effects, I mean the lyrics. I love it! Sounds like two people who have been very abused in life. That they say if they would ever remove all the bad inside of them that there wouldn't be much left to salvage. I think some of this song has this message: People need to learn to accept their darkness (negativity) if they are ever to progress to purity in life. You must accept your sin before you remove it. And this relationship seems so volatile. That they are both just bad so therefore together they are just violent. Like two storms coming together. This is my fav part: "And you lied to the angels Said I stabbed you to death If we go out the same time Then they'll clean up the mess" That's just so awesome! That if one person goes down the other has to clean it up. But together they go down, they leave it for the angels. | |

| this song is aweful. You could interpret it as sexual, but I dont think it is. Honestly, if your mind is in the gutter, you could turn every song into sexual meaning. chinos pretty correct on the meaning. | |

| This song is totally about suicide!! "If we go out the same time Then they'll clean up the mess" is saying that if they both commit suicide together, then the others will clean it up for them. "Watch me kick out the chair......And laugh as you just hung there " this line is about hanging yourself to commit suicide. "I had thought of rose pedals Most were perfectly pure Then I thought of your pedals And the abuse they've been through" this is saying that the other person has been thro a life full of hardships and abuse and they result to suicide. My favorite lines: If we cut out the bad, Well then we'd have nothing left Like I cut up your angels You stabbed me to death i just love Bert's voice when he says those lines!! | |
