Yes, that is almost exactly what I feel in this song also. The main difference, to me, is that I always see the "girl" (because I'm a man, it can work both ways) as a heartbreaker. She knows men fall in love with her ("A name in your recollection / Down among a million same"), but she is cold hearted. Perhaps she has been hurt too. Perhaps she is just cold. I've met girls like that in my life. And a good example would be Summer Finn (she's like the wind...) in that movie "500 days of summer". And I can really feel his resignation. To me, he knew he souldn't have fallen for her. He was expecting to see nothing behind those "eyes of a fallen angel". The way he put it ... "threw you the obvious" ... It's like "guess what? Yeah, I also love you. Get your heartbreaking over with already." So that's my opinion, to complement your view! |

I didn't read all of the comments, but the ones I read seemed to really miss the point of the song. Here goes how it is for me (and I see it pretty clearly too): This song is definetly NOT about drugs. Is it about sex? Yeah, but it's not that simple. To me this is a misogenist song, only well hidden. (would not be the only one by Maynard, see "The Package" by A Perfect Circle) It is about empty people. Empty women. How the singer has difficulty to relate and get fulfillment from a partner. It's message is bizarrely delivered through sex methaphors. "Something has to change. Un-deniable dilemma. Boredom's not a burden Anyone should bare." There he is talking about how boring is someone. She doesn't satisfy him, doesn't stimulate him. "Constant over stimulation numbs me" To me this line is about masturbation. Masturbation can't solve his urge. He needs something more, to breathe, to feel, to "know I'm alive", etc. Then this comes: "Finger deep within the borderline. Show me that you love me and that we belong together. Relax, turn around and take my hand." "Borderline" there means anus. He is looking for pleasure by experimenting with her. He is trying to feel good, since having sex with her isn't good, because she means nothing to him. "Show me that you love me and that we belong togetheter" Sounds like he is talking her into it. She doesn't want to let him, so he sweet talks her into agreeing. "Relax, turn around and take my hand" (up your a$$) Then he makes obvious that it is about that. "tired moments into pleasure". But it gets creepier. "Knuckle deep inside the borderline. This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to." Since he still didn't feel satisfied he stuck his knuckle up, hence, "Stinkfist". "This may hurt a little" is ironically he sweet talking her even more into submission. To me it is a sick and twisted song. He is with a woman whom he doesn't love. Doesen't respect. And then, to sum it up: "How can it mean anything to me If I really don't feel anything at all? I'll keep digging till I feel something." He is talking about the woman, the relationship. How can it mean anything to me? If I really don't feel anything at all. So he keeps "diggin'" inside of her, inserting elbow, shoulder, trying to "feel" something inside. As I said, bizarre and twisted. But also terribly well-written if you can catch it's subtleties. It is about "conditional love". She will do anything to please him. But he cannot see her as a person, can't feel nothing for her. She is a "thing" to him, and he intend to play with it until it breaks. Rock on! |
