interpretations and LOVE for whipping...

don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
don't need
a raincoat, i'm already wet
don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
after a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...

whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...

don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
oh, don't get behind, i can't fall back
why must we trust all these rusted rails?
they don't want no change we already have

they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...

don't mean to push, but i'm being shoved!
ohh, i'm just like you, think we've had enough
i can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...

oh, they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping...yeah...they're whipping...

Man, I'm having a whipping moment...this song is soooo tight, just makes you wanna jump up and down!!
But what are you're INTREPRETATIONS of the whipping? who's whipping?
Who else wants to give up some love for this one?
DON'T MEAN TO PUSH BUT I'M BEING SHOVED

    Man i love whipping!!!!!!!! makes me soooo happy and excited i start jumping around like a strange electronic toy when i listen to it... I think its someone being abused and not wanting help hence "don't need a hand, there's always arms attached"

    i think the lyrics to Whipping are some how connected to abortion and Eddies views on that subject.
    In the sleeve notes the lyrics are written on a petition demanding protection against pro--life protesters who used harassment and violence.Ending in the shooting of a doctor who performed abortions.
    As we know the band are Pro-Choice and certain lyrics tell us that peoples attitudes to abortion are old and need to be changed...."why must we trust all these rusted rails?..they dont want no change we already have....."

    A corker of a track though.

    Phenominal song. With WMA, a song that deserves serious attention and respect but garners little.

    fuckin A :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    It makes me think of a kitchen aid. No matter what the first thing I think when I hear "whipping" is a kitchen aid mixer with the whip attachment. Then of course I realize that it's the song blah blah blah . . .After further review of the lyrics, I have no idea what it's about.

    Yes yes yes I used to play this on my radio show after a cart that quoted Charles Manson from his trial

    "Is it a conspiracy that the music is telling the youth to rise up against the establishment because the establishment is rapidly destroying things? Is that a conspiracy"

    Awesome and yeah it about Eddie's views on abortion...

    Live it can really get a show rolling if I were making the set list i would play it 2nd after Long Road or Release or something like that

    This song is kick ass. I can't explain it but it's one of those Go/Spin the Black Circle/Why Go/Do the Evolution/Lukin/etc. songs to me. Hear it once and it's stuck in your head. Can't help but dance in my seat (if I'm sitting) and tap my feet whenever I hear it! I LOVE WHIPPING!!!!!

    Yeah, you know it. TWO phenomenal songs.

    The Whipping is so intense. One of my favorites on Vitalogy. I would probably jump through the roof if i heard it live.

    And I would love to hear WMA by itself, apart from Daughter. I know it sounds great on the backside of Daughter, but it is such a great song that it needs some solo time.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl...

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!

    I have been lucky enough to hear it live twice now and I have freaked out everytime.
