Don't be aroused by my confession
Unless you don't give a good goddamn about redemption
I know Christ is comin', and so am I
And you would too if this sexy devil caught your eye

She'll suck you dry
And still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again
She'll make you weep
And moan and cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in your arms just until I can die a little longer
Saviours and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

Jesus is risen, it's no surprise
Even he would martyr his momma to ride to hell between those thighs
The pressure is building, at the base of my spine
If I gotta sin to see her again then I'm gonna lie, lie, lie

She'll make you cry
I'll sell my soul, to be back in her bosom
Gladly now please suck me dry
And still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
To do it again

(Pray) Til I go blind
(Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just until I can die a little longer
Saviours and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

My pulse has been rising
My temples are pounding
The pressure is so overwhelming and building
So steady now freddy; I'm ready to blow
What is she
What is she
What is she waiting for?

(Pray) Pray til I go blind
(Pray) Pray cause no one ever survives
Prayin' to stay in her arms just to die longer
Saviours and saints, devils and heathens alike
She'll eat you alive

    General Comment:When he says *The pressure is building at the base of my spine* He means the ancient Kundalini force in Spiritual Satanism which is activated through meditation.

    General Comment:People who say this song isn't about sex are morons! If you listen to/read the lyrics the song is saturated with sexual innuendos. Even the title is an innuendo on Jesus' "coming."
    I absolutely LOVE this song, and the blasphemy of it makes me grin every time I hear it. Even just thinking of the lines "Jesus is risen, it's no surprise, even he would martyr his momma to ride to Hell between those thighs" is fucking brilliant and will put me in a pretty good mood visualizing Jesus brutally murdering Mary to fuck a succubus that would make a 10 look like a -10.

    General Comment:It seems not many people who comment on his lyrics have had a relationship with a female sociopath, the real demons and vampires actually among us. 50 bucks says there's one in his past. That one encounter ties so many of his songs together across the bands. I wonder if he's ever told the story in any sort of public arena other through his lyrics... oh well, time to go read about this Lilith chick...

    General Comment:No, you're all wrong. Read Revelations 22:20. He believed that he was some chosen one. He wanted to believe it, and calls this almost dogmatic kind of thought process and belief, his sexy devil. Because he likes the idea. Read his lyrics as if you were a Christian. Reading it like almost a prophecy. but not. try it, you'll see the truth of his lyrics in all of Maynards songs, even from Tool, and Perfect Circle. with A.P.C. the song Judith, only read what Maynard says, not Billy. He almost asking a question. Read it, and see the truths.

    My Interpretation:If you research Maynards history, you will see his deep seeded hatred for the religious community. His mother dedicated her life to the church, and when she became sick, the church turned their back on her and didn't help. My interpretation of this song is of "Religion" itself. The lyrics:

    " She'll suck you dry
    And still you'll cry, to be back in her bosom
    To do it again
    She'll make you weep
    And moan and cry, to be back in her bosom
    To do it again"

    Meaning: The church will suck your time, your money, your everything... You cry for God, and go back to the church, you go back to the religion crying for more.

    "(Pray) Til I go blind
    (Pray) Cause nobody ever survives
    Prayin' to stay in your arms just until I can die a little longer
    Saviours and saints, devils and heathens alike
    She'll eat you alive"

    Most religions push prayer as an answer or a guide. Pray, Til I go blind. You can pray and pray, and things will happen as they are anticipated. Pray until you go blind. (You are not curing yourself with prayer). "Pray, cause nobody ever survives." Like I said prior, your prayer will not save your life... no one survives off prayer alone. The church community "sucks" the people dry : "Saviors, Saints, Devils and Heathens Alike" is what is promoted by most churches that we are all sinners. If you have been to a church, there are people who present themselves as "Savior or Saint" and others that admit to their "devilish ways".

    She (The Religion, the church) will eat (take your money, take your time, take who you are) you alive.

    "My pulse has been rising
    My temples are pounding
    The pressure is so overwhelming and building
    So steady now freddy; I'm ready to blow
    What is she
    What is she
    What is she waiting for?"

    What I would believe he is saying here is, that no matter what, you will always be ready to make that next step... and it will never happen. This is what I believe is the reference that their is no heaven, their is not step up.

    General Comment:It's about Kundalini, something none of you have obviously experienced.

    General Comment:I've always thought he was singing about the Whore of Babylon, given the blasphemous nature of the song and the Anti-Christ, and with the title being from the Book of Revelation.

    General Comment:Im sorry to say but you are all incorrect. This song is very clearly about my girlfriend... fiance... exgirlfriend dam*** im just not sure anymore. I don't know we'll see what happens next week. But really I thought she was a true sucubus after the second breakup. Here goes try number three wish me luck! Needless to say the sex is godly. And by the way great song great artist love to blast it in my car.

    General Comment:Perhaps many have forgotten, but I have not, having been a long time APC fan. Mer De Noms chronicled addiction in full scale. Magdelena especially looked in upon an addiction to sex. 13 step chronicled the journey out of that. 13 step also references an attitude you find among some of the "graduates" of the program. It''s not only a superior attitude, but some take that outlook to the next level and take advantage of those still trying to make it through the program. Those recovered refer to it as 13 stepping.

    However, much of those two things chronicle addiction in general. Some of the songs are very personal and about his own life, others not quite. I think this one carries over from that. The sexual addiciton is personified here. She is purposefully never identified. She is faceless, could be anyone. Those who've suffered a sexual addcition know that feeling well. They don't need to have a face, only the parts necessary to, well screw.

    However, that faceless she is also that addiction. She'll make you cry to be back in her bosom? Sounds like addcition to me. She'll suck you dry? Addiction takes away everything in your life until you're left with nothing. Think about the lyrics to "The Hollow". Grow libido, throw Dominoes of indiscretions down, falling all around in cycles, in circles, constantly consuming, conquer and devour.

    Maynard has always put in interesting religious references. Hell's bells, this is the man who wrote Judith, after all. He has depth and meaning to his lyrics. These lyrics are sexual, but not about sex. Addiciton isn't sex. It becomes soulless, meaningless. Perhaps why he references the embodiment of what lust would be. The harlot of Revelations. Lust in all forms. Lust for material, sexual, physical.

    The other thing I noticed is his request to the priest he is confessing to. "Don't be aroused by my confession, unless you don't give a good goddamn about redemption." I think his way of prodding a bit at the less than holy conduct of so many of the churches blessed leaders. Priests take vows of celibacy, make promises to God, but he's driving home that the obsession is enough to make even a pure man sin. Or the not so pure.
