This song is called,
"It's a metaphor, fool."
Sixteen names on my list
but none of them could ever get me hot like this.
(YEAH!!!)
Got your scars on my wrist,
you're safe inside my fist.
(Now let the fun begin! Sing!)
All you are to me is dead skin,
flaking off my hands onto the pavement.
All you are to me is dead skin,
breakin' up my band won't bring you payment.
Woah! (Love like no other)
Woah! (We told your mother)
Woah! (Love like no other)
Woah! (We told your mother)
So here's the plan,
you're giving in to every sick demand.
Buying the band our own apartment.
Here is your past:
flashing forward out to whip your ass,
into the form adorn when you were born.
Woah! (Love like no other)
Woah! (We told your mother)
Woah! (Love like no other)
Woah! (We told your mother, baby boy)
All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead skin.
(Come on!)
All you are to me is dead,
Sixteen bullets split your head,
All you are to me is dead skin.
(Go! Go! Go!)
All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead skin.
All you are to me is dead,
Sixteen bullets split your head,
All you are to me is dead skin.
"It's a metaphor, fool."
Sixteen names on my list
but none of them could ever get me hot like this.
(YEAH!!!)
Got your scars on my wrist,
you're safe inside my fist.
(Now let the fun begin! Sing!)
All you are to me is dead skin,
flaking off my hands onto the pavement.
All you are to me is dead skin,
breakin' up my band won't bring you payment.
Woah! (Love like no other)
Woah! (We told your mother)
Woah! (Love like no other)
Woah! (We told your mother)
So here's the plan,
you're giving in to every sick demand.
Buying the band our own apartment.
Here is your past:
flashing forward out to whip your ass,

Woah! (Love like no other)
Woah! (We told your mother)
Woah! (Love like no other)

All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead skin.
(Come on!)
All you are to me is dead,
Sixteen bullets split your head,
All you are to me is dead skin.
(Go! Go! Go!)
All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead,
All you are to me is dead skin.
All you are to me is dead,
Sixteen bullets split your head,
All you are to me is dead skin.

It's just a song to mess with people. its just made up of so many individual things that can all be taken different ways, but really it isn't about too much. seems like something max would do..
this song is about his penis...jerking off.
"none of them could get me hot like this"- none of the girls he's had sex with can satisfy him as much as he can.
"you're safe inside my fist"- literally in his fist.
"scars on my wrist"- either actual marks on his wrist from masturbating...or he's referring to some girl who hurt him that he doesn't need because he can please himself.
"all you are to me is dead skin flaking off onto the pavement."- dead skin is falling off because of the constant friction and he's saying that he would treat the girl like nothing more than useless remains of a night of pleasure.
it's kind of gross, but that's just what i got from it.
Then he compares the girl that he banged & forgot about to dead skin, just picking her off his life and droppin her.
-then it sounds like she tried to use sex to break up his band, which didn't work.
This song is not a metaphore, thats why its title is that. just to screw with U
He's been with 16 girls before at the time writing this song. AKA 16 exes. I wouldn't say 16 girls he's slept with. I'd say this girl is the one that's often referred to in Say Anything's early songs, which is said to have sparked the creation of the band. She's the only one who can "get me hot like this" meaning angry, not turned on. Now he's saying "all you are to me is dead skin" saying he's over her now, yet she's begging for him back. So he tells her to give in to every sick demand he makes, as if for some sort of revenge. But all she is to him is dead skin.
its my favorite number! duh!
if Max names a song something like this, giving it the image that its supposed to be deep, its probably not. we, Say Anything fans, should know to read into the songs that appear to not have any other meaning at all.
So, with that said,
I think that this song is about a hard-ass break up where the chick just couldnt let go of him. she goes through the hassle of buying his band their own apartment, then she takes to threatening him, which, like most would probably agree, drove him nuts (no, not crazy-house nuts). from there he just kept on relating her to dead skin because all she is [is] itchy and bothersome.
