Send "Lotion" Ringtone to Cell

I meant to come back to put out bliss
But the style's crumbling, covered, canned
It was sick and no you don't even know how it comes and
Shifts then gets ruined by you fucking slobs

It's classical, anyway

I can't help it, it makes me so sick
Over and over, it sits stiff
Bound with no heart, fine 'cause this is where the separation starts arising
I can see it coming over your cloud

It's classical, anyway
How cool are you? I remember

I feel sick

Just a bad call, it's so funny
How you think I'm so serious, but that's not it
The thing is I don't give enough to give a fuck
You're just plain boring and you bore me asleep

It's classical, anyway
How cool are you? I remember

I feel sick

Feel sickened

I feel sick

And who the fuck are you anyway, you fuck?
It's making sick sense seeing how you're sticking out
Hardly and hoping money please arise up off the fucking knees
And hop off the train for a second and try to find your own fucking heart

It's classical, anyway
How cool are you? I remember

I feel sick

Feel sickened

I feel sick, in my head

    General Comment:I always thought Chino said "you fucking slut" in the beginning, and thought this song was about some woman who cheated on him

    General Comment:Yeah, because all us women are the same, ey? Not here for this misogyny. Anyway, I think, as some have already said, that 'Lotion' was written with other members of the music industry in mind.

    General Comment:I think it's about both, and probably written that way on purpose. It's about selling out ---- but from both a music business side and the theme of Around the Fur.

    General Comment:Just like some of you have said, I think it's how Chino may view some other bands that are just in the music business for the money but they don't put any emotion to their lyrics. They're ruining the music industry. Chino is being a critic towards them and telling them they need to create something new, don't copy off of me. "Find your own fucking heart"

    General Comment:i thought it was like another reference to the albums'(Around the Fur) theme of vain women. I think he's pissed off and disgusted about how how girls care more about they glamor and appearence then about havinga good personality. They become shallow and start to wear out their welcome whereever they go, just flirting and leeching on to whatever guy who will give them what they want. These kinds of girls are indeed boring, and very sloppy, only interested in debauchery.Im a dude, so i know exactly what hes talking about casue i see and meet these types of women all the time, and they are all the same.Eventually, they get to the pooint where they arent as attractive as they once were, due to all the excesses they indulge in. I think hes saying hes so sick and tired of meeting those kinds of women, and hes telling them that what their doing isnt beautyful or glamorous, but just plain fucking gross. hes telling them to "find their own heart",or hop off the train", or find soemthing that has meaning and legitmacy in their lives instead of chasing money and sex. The tittle lotion to me seems to fit, cause its like an instrument of making yourself beautiful and young looking.

    General Comment:I always thought it was about their ol buddies Korn and Limp Bizkits since both of them ended up selling out so they would be more mtv friendly, that's just me though.
