Title: split open and melt (possibly could gross you out heh)
Post by: lumpy on December 06, 2007, 10:51:36 PM
meaning behind the lyrics dawned on me one night when i woke up at 3 feeling real sick and ran to the bathroom to...well diarreha. and this song is about that. WERID BUT TRUE (possibly)

in the evening i undo my belt - i undid my belt so i wouldnt shit my pants
split open and melt - you can guess what this meant to me

I wake up on my stomach
with my face between my hands
and crawl along the floor toward the doorway

Jumping to my feet
I try to pull myself together
but I feel it in my knees
and the room begins to spin
and I slip and bump my head and raise a welt
Split open and melt

- that whole section happened to me. of course i didnt bump my head or raise a welt, but i was dizzy as hell and nearly fell of the toilet.

We breath deep - i was breathing heavy
in a steam dream - poo is warm (steamers) and dream because i was sleeping
and plunge below the water line - ploop!
down, down, down
between beams - running thru the pipes in the house
to the gloom room - i duno but maybe the septic tank
among the seaweed and the slime - into the sewers and into the water
down, down, down
Melt - my poop seemed melted

cant really atrribute anything the first park except maybe
run the wide load to the lip - sat my ass on the toilet
watch the big core crack and glow - maybe another shitting metaphor?

hahahahahaha sorry if thats disgusting
but thats what i think
:lol:

i've gotta say this seems like an accurate meaning for the song but... kind of disturbing that now everytime i play it i'll be thinking about shit
