I just heard that with headphones! I've heard that sound for years and it never registered to me what it meant. I wonder why they included that?Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...0 -
wow no one's mentioned even flow??
"Even Flow...thoughts arrive like butterflies..."
correct me if i'm wrong but i always thought that referred to the even flow of heroine into the veins..."If you love someone, set them free. If someone loves you, don't fuck up." -ev

2 ways of interpreting this song.
"See this needle...See my hand"
"Turn me up...Won't turn you away"
"Pull it out...A paper sleeve" (heroin)
"I'm so big...A my whole world"
"I'd rather you...I'd rather you...Than her"
"Your so warm...Oh the ritual"
Totally about injecting heroin or spinning on a turntable or both.
Just about spinning records.
Not just about spinning records. That was a very creative to get both topics across. It is way to obvious.TDR0 -

I, too, have colorblindness issues... but it's red. In fact, I think a name I've heard bounced around for it is "The Color Red".- 98 Pgh

Immortality talks about an 'auctioned forearm' - if the song is about Kurt Cobain as it likely is, it makes sense that the forearm reference is about heroin use.I smile, but who am I kidding...0

Agree re: STBC. When my Dad read the lyrics to the song in the Vitalogy booklet back when I was in high school he thought it was about doing drugs 8-)

Yeah, it come across that way to most people. The black circle as a record makes you investigate.TDR0 -
"Satan's Bed"...
IMO its about the whole cocaine addiction scene / hollywood scene
(aka The Eagles "Life in the fast lane" type song)
Satan = cocaine
see if you agree?
It's not all been said...been said and done...
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although I must admit...still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in*****
Funny how I always want to give in****
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursday, the same
Sometimes the special guest, he don't like to leave***
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I'd stop and talk, but I'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off"This here's a REQUEST!"
