Day one I played with her blood
Day two left her face bruised and we called it making love
Day three her blood played with me
Dirty talk caught me off guard
Had to nerve to ask if I thought she was crazy

Baby you don't know where my mind has been
Fell off the bike more than twice
But it's time to ride again
This time I learned from my past falls
Old wounds may re-open soon
Burn 'em in alcohol
I heard that last call
It was a close one
Road runners
Know which direction to go when snow comes
Now we're coasting
Extra traction on radial tires
Having sex in the back wrapped in radial wires
Self abusive
Stuck in a bad place
Head full of bruises and scratched face
I've bled profusely
Stirred in my juices
So you can taste me
Put my neck in a noose
And swung to safety
Found a land mine planted in the sole of my foot
I can't find santcum in the holes of input
I keep diggin'
Covered in earth
I undress
They run tests
I leave the dirt to the experts
White coats and shiny objects
I jump their lifeboat science project
We got a floater
Guinea pig overboard
Stone sober hillbilly kid with open sores
We rip vocal chords
Tearing them out
A mutant manifesto that you'll probably never hear about
Weirded out about my wearabouts
Swears pierce my mouth
A bearded medicine man who wears a pouch
Keeps diggin' me
And I'm swimmin' uphill
I'm fightin' the tide of mudslide and blood spilled
Until I got a shirt off my back
And a girl on attack
On top
With a curled lip
The world matches our bedsheet
We shared geography now
I explore virgin territory
Squeeky seats acting as a mating call
Nothing on me but her
And didn't feel naked at all
Ever feel the need
To keep it so real you feed
Yourself into her hunger and don't care if she bleeds
Askin' all these questions
Ain't highly recommended
They'll eventually get answered
If you put time in the friendship
That is if what you're doin' is helping
And it's not like you'll know until you ah-
Reach the ending

She wanted my
Agony agony agony
In her body
(Repeat x4 then continues throughout hook)

Day one I played with her blood
Day two left her face bruised and we called it making love
Day three her blood played with me
Dirty talk caught me off guard
Had to nerve to ask if I thought she was crazy

She was crazy
I need more holes to breathe from
Went under the knife
I contemplated freedom
Put it all out on the operating table
Clutching onto rubber ducks
I played double dutch with some jumper cables
And I broke like the water
It started rushing
All of a sudden
There she was gone
I'm the fall guy
She's a sight for sore eyes
I'm in labor all night till a new day is born
Her blow brocades like high rolled dice
Her exposing one eighty when I look into her snake eyes
I'm not afraid of dying
Pieces of me die all the time
I keep digging (I keep digging)
I leave the dirt to the experts
Who push the boundaries of pleasure till the sex hurts
I hold today with a death grip
And play hard to get with tomorrow
So as not to look so fucking desperate
Face sweaty
Hands unsteady
Blood pressure off the charts
My heart hangs heavy
Untreated wounds
Through repeated moons
I seem to have developed through your needy womb
Your feeble ill cocoon
I don't breathe for many people
I don't mourn the pieces killed in you
My injection must of been lethal
Pick up the shovel love
You got some diggin' to do

Agony agony agony
(repeat x4)

She wanted my
Agony agony agony
(repeats as sage says the following:)

Day one I played with her blood
Day two left her face bruised and we called it making love
Day three her blood played with me
Dirty talk caught me off guard
Had to nerve to ask if I thought she was crazy

    General Comment:It's not about sex.

    It's about rough sex, to the point of rape.

    My Interpretation:lol...remember what Sage said in Diamonds and Pearls:

    "Surprising the world, with diamonds and pearls
    but song about a girl, ain't really about a girl"

    "The world map is our bedsheet
    We share geography now
    I explore virgin territory
    Squeeky seats acting as a mating call
    Nothing on me but her
    And didn't feel naked at all"

    I see that as being a metaphor for touring and travelling across the US.

    "I undress
    They run tests
    I leave the dirt to the experts"

    He reveals his inner thoughts in his writings, and leaves the "dirt" to the "experts" (the producers)


    "Ever feel the need
    To keep it so real you feed
    Yourself into her hunger and don't care if she bleeds
    Askin' all these questions
    Ain't highly recommended
    They'll eventually get answered
    If you put time in the friendship
    That is if what you're doin' is helping
    And it's not like you'll know until you ah-
    Reach the ending"

    He's talking about how he is so candid in his songs because of his desire to be real and to tell the truth and is hence feeding the desire of this "woman" (probably a symbol of listeners who want Sage to be real and emotional in his songs or of Hip-Hop in general).

    No doubt this is a song full of sexual imagery but it isn't so cut and dry in my opinion. In fact, I don't think anything by Sage Francis is cut and dry. If you think that this song is simply about an abusive relationship then you're going to have a hard time explaining some of the lines which I mentioned previously.

    General Comment:alright here's my take. the song is obviously about sex but he's also talking about why he's having it giving symbolic dirty details. i think it's about the girl "wanting" him, as a way to escape her own problems or she's just turned on by them "she wanted my agony in her body" he opens by saying "baby you don't know where my mind has been". he's using the physical aspect of the relationship, like her, to try and escape/fix his problems but it isn't working "I can't find sanctum in the holes of input". the sex is dirty perhaps and rough much like their issues. In sort of a summary i think she cares a lot and needs him but he just needs the release and doesn't care about her in the same way or i think he would have stopped "digging" the hole. he seems to go back and forth a bit about whether he cares but in the end he's not upset by her no longer being in his life "I don't mourn the pieces killed in you. My injection must of been lethal. Pick up the shovel love.You got some diggin' to do". bottom line she thought that the sex meant something and developed feelings "I seem to have developed through your needy womb. Your feeble ill cocoon." and perhaps at first it did but it goes bad.

    I know i'm not spot on but those are some of my ideas. frankly i could on on for hours (LOL). and of course this is only my opinion there are lots of legitimate interpretations and with that I'll finally shut up...

    General Comment:I think it's about how he's thought he learned how to be stronger when a girl leaves, and he thinks he's independent and it is just about sex, but she leaves him first and he's a mess.

    General Comment:I love how you guys probably all had unhealthy relationships that were so incredibly dependent on sex (especially for the other), but somehow listen to this song and only say it's about sex.

    Lyric Correction:"I don't breathe for many people" is supposed to be "I don't GRIEVE for many people"

    "Her blow brocades like high rolled dice" is supposed to be "Her GLOBE ROTATES like EYES ROLL dice"

    "Her exposing one eighty when I look into her snake eyes" is supposed to be "EARTH PULLS A one eighty when i look into her snake eyes"

    My Interpretation:i think the song is mainly about abortion.

    "I seem to have developed through your needy womb. Your feeble ill cocoon" - meaning a fetus

    "I don't breathe for many people. I don't mourn the pieces killed in you" - that's pretty self explanatory, the fetus being killed while it was still inside of her

    "My injection must of been lethal" - injection meaning semen, which created the baby in the first place

    "Pick up the shovel love. You got some diggin' to do" - maybe meaning she's got some problems in her own mind from killing the baby that she needs to uncover and confront herself

    idk, that's just always what it sounds like to me when i hear this song. It describes sex and, in my interpretation, an abortion.

    General Comment:imma kick it old school a little bit:
    ..she wanted agony agony agony in her body..
    is from Rakim's "mohagany"- and i think its worth being checked out-
    even the beat is reminiscent to it...

    but dont think im hating. this song is ill. I mean if anything i think he did justice to this piece!

    with that said, i do think it has to do with sex!

    the"agony" part also happens to be my favorite part from both soongs!!
    i mean this part cant do no wrong!!! =]

    thats why I just think Sage F. played on the idea and developed that portion into a sick ass imagery through out the entire song and he did it well!
    But sage said it best:

    ..I keep digging (I keep digging)
    I leave the dirt to the experts..

    General Comment:I think it's about an abusive relationship, or at the very least, angry angry sex.
    "a girl on attack on top with a curled lip" doesn't imply just fucking.
    Anyways, its obviously unhappy -- "Pieces of me die all the time".

    General Comment:This song IS about sex, yes.. But it's also sort of like he's telling about a journey.. Throughout the song he's talking about digging somewhere.. It's like in a way he's getting into something there's no turning back. So maybe it's about a girl he's getting "physical" with and he's getting more and more into this relationship and it's sort of like an adventure?

    It's interesting trying to interpret such a mastermind.
