    Best one ever- Of The Girl. At the end of the song if you listen closely (best on headphones) you will hear someone inhale, breathe out and say "marijuana." Pretty cool little hidden thingy. Starts at 4:45 into the song, voice says marijuana at around 4:51


    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?
    I think it was inspired by the Binaural recording technique. A lot of weird uses of it in that song, coin dropping ect... They were probably stoned or smoking when doing some recording and jsut threw it in there. Sounds pretty cool to me, and fits the mood of the song for sure.
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
  • 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...

    Spin the Black Circle

    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.

    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".

    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...

    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.

    "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!"
