Stretching, filing,
Against her skin,
Blessed are those,
Who are not kin,
In sin we breathe,
In sex we tie,
Duct tape her legs,
To the red sky,
Foolsome flesh allowances,
The pansies raided the pantry of,
Gabardine dreams, promiscuous,
Delight, deny not the flavor,
Custard dreams,
Abusing, musing,
Marmalade flesh
Naked spread am I,

Actors of the tragic fanthom,
Extend your legs to great saturn,
Brown table tops scream for cover,
At the sight of your new lover,
If today I die,
And can't deny,
The poison chosen,
For tonight.
Borrowed dreams,
Hollowed reveries,
Metal pillows,
Pewter yellows,
Furry roadkill,
House on the hill,
Pouring gravy,
On her thighs still,
If today I die,
And can't deny,
The poison chosen,
For tonight.

Borrowed dreams,
Hollowed reveries,
Metal pillows,
Pewter yellows,
Furry roadkill,
House on the hill,
Pouring gravy,
On her thighs still,

If today I die,
And can't deny,
The poison chosen,
For tonight.

    Song Meaning:Scratching, filing, Against her skin, Blessed are those, Who are not kin,
    (sex, blessed are those who do not induldge)

    In sin we breathe, In sex we tie, Duct tape her legs, To the red sky,
    (more sex, he knows he is sinning)

    Foolsome flesh allowances, The pansies raided the pantry of, Gabardine dreams, promiscuous,
    Delight, deny not the flavor,
    (he knows he should not indulge in sex, gabardine is a fabric, he dreams of sex, and cannot deny his temptations)

    Custard dreams, Abusing, musing, Marmalade flesh, Naked spread am I, Am I
    (custard & marmalade are food/sweetness references. questioning his actions)

    Actors of the tragic fanthom, Extend your legs for Great Saturn Brown table tops scream for cover,
    At the sight of your new lover
    (actors, this is unreal. YOUR NEW LOVER is the most important part. He is cheating.)

    If today I die, And can't deny, The poison, Chosen for tonight Tonight,
    (inability to deny the sin he knows he is commiting)

    Borrowed keys, Hollowed reveries, Metal pillows, Pewter yellows, Furry roadkill
    House on the hill, Pouring gravy, On her thighs still
    (borrowed keys support the cheating reference, reveries are daydreams, he feels empty. house on the hill also supports him cheating)

    If today I die, And can't deny, The poison, Chosen for tonight, Tonight
    (again, his inability to deny indulging in his poison, sex)

    General Comment:its seems to me that hes mixed gluttony with lust. the song seems to be about sex using food as a metaphore for some reason. and being literal in other places "pouring gravy on her thighs still"

    originally i thought this song was about the rape of mother nature. that the "her" mentioned is the "her" serj oftern writes about, his god.

    General Comment:well I think it might be about incest hence it possibly even being much more of a sin as to die the next day
    thanks to the "to those who are not of kin" although I'm thinking it could possibly be keen and erase the possibility of incest

    surprised no one has brought this up
    "Custard dreams,
    Abusing, musing,
    Marmalade flesh,
    Naked spread am I,
    Am I"

    that could easily be changed to "am I using marmalade spread [on] naked flesh.. am I?"
    dunno about custard dreams or what not, but sounds like it could be sorta cryptic
    mostly got that based on the placing of the words

    marmalade flesh
    naked spread
    marmalade spread
    naked flesh...

    anyway that's all I got, to continue deliberation on this please reply so I get an alert :D

    General Comment:'Actors of the tragic fanthom,
    Extend your legs for Great Saturn'

    could be referring to occult saturn worship

    General Comment:hmm...i don't think it's a song about humans. Humans don't tie during sex and he says "furry roadkill" near the end

    General Comment:I think its about sex and how he knows that this crazy kinky sex is a sin but he will not deny it even if he dies tonight and has to confront God with it.

    General Comment:This demo is extremely rare. Anyway, I think it's talking about how STD's are killing our nation.
