I'm gonna suture up my future
I ain't jaded, I just hate it
See, I've been down too long
It's kinda hard to explain
Gone and buried all I carried
All my evil through a needle
As it pulled through the eye what was
What went on around gone
Don't sweat
Thread to forget
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Take a picture and bury it all away
Bury it all away
Tried to fake it, I just can't take it
I don't care if it hurts
Just so long as it's real
I won't waste it, turned to face it
I'd sharpened a knife, then used it till bone made it dull
Tried explaining, done explaining
I got caught in a plant
Of all this talking at once
I've been giving my love away
To the things that tear it apart
I'm gonna suture up my future
Thread to forget
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Tie the loose ends and bury it all away
It's like this, it's like this
I ain't jaded, I just hate it
See, I've been down too long
It's kinda hard to explain
Gone and buried all I carried
All my evil through a needle
As it pulled through the eye what was
What went on around gone
Don't sweat
Thread to forget
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Take a picture and bury it all away
Bury it all away
Tried to fake it, I just can't take it
I don't care if it hurts
Just so long as it's real
I won't waste it, turned to face it
I'd sharpened a knife, then used it till bone made it dull
Tried explaining, done explaining
I got caught in a plant
Of all this talking at once
I've been giving my love away
To the things that tear it apart
I'm gonna suture up my future
Thread to forget
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got
Tie the loose ends and bury it all away
It's like this, it's like this

Youtube: Queens Of The Stone Age - Suture Up Your Future (3 voor 12 Acoustic Session)
He hates his future because he knows how it's going to turn out.
"See, I been down too long, it's kinda hard to explain. Gone and buried all I've carried."
He's been depressed(?) all his life, but he can't understand why. So, he buries the depression(?) he's carried away.
"All my evil through a needle. As it pulls through the eye, what was and what will they're all gone"
Here I assume his evils to be his past mistakes. He takes that evil (his past mistakes) and threads it through a needle to try to change his future with his past. (Not sure what he means by what was and what will, they're now gone.)
"Don't sweat it. Thread it to forget it."
???
"To feel like you've already gone to the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got"
He constantly lives with his past because he uses it t try to suture his future, so nothing changes and when he tries to fix his life with his past it just repeats so he feels like he's gone through his life already. Monotony.
"Take a picture. Bury it all away, bury it all away, yeah."
Remember your future as it happens and bury it away because it just becomes the same feelings of depression he's felt.
"Try to fake it, I just can't take it"
He tries to act like it helped, but he knows it didn't help and he becomes depressed again.
"I don't care if it hurts, just so long as it's real."
???
"I won't waste it, I turn to face it. I'd sharpen the knife, then used it to bone made it dull."
When he gets depressed again, he realizes that's somethings wrong with his life again. So, he tries to fix it again thus sharpening the knife (his will to fix his future another way) he cuts open his future again to the bone to try to fix it, but it fails and becomes dull.
"Thread it to forget it. To feel like you've already gone to the rest of, the rest of the life that you've got"
He sutures up his future with the same past mistakes he makes again (note the repetition of the lyrics).
"Tie the loose ends, bury it all away. It's like there's. It's like there's"
He's finished suturing up his future with his past and tries again to bury his past. (I'm not sure what "It's like there's, It's like there's" means...)
I taste Einsteins definition of insanity all over this piece.

But evil through a needle also means drugs.
I always thought this was about an attempt to quit, because he's been down so long, but its ambiguous sound and lyrics don't really say if it's worth cleaning up, if he'll succeed, or what's waiting on the other side.
The last two lines really capture the confusion. I should make a change...maybe...I don't know if it will work...but I have to.
Anyway, I love this song :)
While the song has little to do with the second part of the verse, the song is about burying the past. But as optimistic as the song is about burying the past the narrator is admitting that burying the past is like pulling a camel through the eye of a needle. In short it's impossible.
All his evil, what he's carried, he's buried. But really he's trying to convince himself more than the listener. Truth be told, his past is so haunting that he can't get rid of it, and the lyrics in the first line are the lies he tells himself to get through the present in hopes of a better future.
I'm very drunk, and as a result the second set of lyrics become a bit harder. What I do get is that he is trying to cut off the past by any means possible. How many of us try to forget painful events by using drugs, sex, alcohol or any means possible. We care less about how much it may destroy us, as if it can dull the pain we have about the past.
That's what I get from the second verse. The knife is some sort of rationalization that damages the person in the present but dulls the pain of remembering the past.
Tried explaining unexplaining
Got caught in the plan
All this talking at once
Having several drinking and drug induced fits, I can't tell you how many times I've looked at the past and made sense of the unexplainable, or made a plan for how I will make the most of the future, only to have gotten so sloshed or high that the internal voices blend together and drive me to confusion and I lose all my plans by the time I'm sober.
In short the song is about a person who has the best intentions about making the best of the future, but who they've been in the past is such an integral part of who they are, that their intentions will never be realized. On top of that, the reason they will never realize their intentions is because they fail to deal with their past and the individual who created it for who and what it is.
Holla at ya boy!
