Eight Ball in my hand
The key in your liver
Sculpting danger signs
Bladed credit powder

Jack sweet suck you dry
Baby flesh and candy
Metal salt like blood
Bucket tastes like honey

Skipping with the hood
Basket full of bad Es
Over come with good
Gutted for the key

fuck me up destroy!
you got big teeth, but I got a knife!

    My Interpretation:Cocaine kitty got it right. This song is a twist on the red riding hood tale. Instead of becoming a victim of the wolf she fights it.

    General Comment:Maybe the chorus/ending are from the POV of Little Red Riding Hood, while the verses are from the wolf's POV.
    "Jack sweet suck you dry
    Baby flesh and candy
    Metal salt like blood
    Bucket tastes like honey"
    Maybe it's just me, but mixing baby flesh, suck you dry and blood with candy and honey seems like the wolf could be describing how sweet and fulfilling she (or her innocence) will taste.

    Thus, the song could be about lost innocence, the desire that some evil people have for taking said innocence, and the retribution that the victims crave.

    General Comment:"Gutted for the key" and "The key in your liver" sounds like that scene from Saw II...

    General Comment:I think the eightball refers to the concept of luck and chance. Luck and chance play a major factor in the life of a drug addict, which is what I think the subject of this song gravitates toward.

    "The key in your liver" reminds me of an autopsy. Someone has died and the key to finding out how the person died, must be in their liver, hence the line, "Gutted for the key."

    My assumption is that whoever died, died from poorly conjured ecstasy ("Basket full of bad E's").

    General Comment:I think, since this song has drug relations..."I was on the look out for the wolf" means 'I was on the look out for the cops." huh. lol.

    General Comment:This is what Angelspit wrote in an interview. "Wolf is a twisted version of little Red Riding Hood. In our version, Little Red Riding Hood is facing her fears and about to slash the wolf to ribbons: “You’ve got big teeth, but I’ve got a knife”."

    General Comment:I think it's more of a role-reversal thing. While yes, the previous statements make sense and work, the actual lyrics imply more of the reversal of roles rather than the perpetration of the roles already in place. If it was talking about just defending against an attack, then it wouldn't be so explicit. The reference to little red riding hood sort of implies how innocence is changed by knowledge / experience, and eventually, once your views on the world change, you look for the things that intend you harm, and try to remove them from your lives.

    General Comment:It's definitely like how KillerKittyWulf stated it, but it seems like it's sexually aggressive and not about the whole betrayl of those close to you.

    From sucking dry, to honey & blood, to the blatant chanting of FUCK . . . Fuck me . . . Fuck me up. It's screaming sexual . . . aggressively.
