An Insult to the Dead Lyrics
Failure is angular
It isn't shaped and ever fucked mistake's unmade When I abandoned her And with my wand-like sex I cast a horried hex I laid a curse on her, a curse on her Another wasted verse on her, gave birth to her Oh god Forgive me Moses, Jesus, Allah I have made such an awful regret of today I have made such an awesome regret I could be more than this With all the time I have I am insult to the dead You should be over this The infidelities are on account of me And so I cheat on you, I beat on you with words and with actions I will never tell the truth, in debt, aloof Without you I'm a fraction Oh god I have made such an awful regret of today I have made such an awesome regret Too bad this won't come easy where I stay Where I lay in my bed of needles, where I play Like a bad child on a baby's birthday I'll take a permanent vacation I've got two months to live And all the mental masturbation Is just too much to give So I'll go down to where the river Flows into the sea And you can bathe me in your body fluids You can rescue me Oh god I have made such an awful regret (tonight this won't come easy) of today I have made such an awesome regret (tonight this won't come easy) Where I stay, on this bed of needles (tonight this won't come easy) Where I play like I'm a bad child on a baby's birthday (tonight this won't come easy) here I lay here I lay here I lay here I lay

But here's my [lengthy] interpretation, with some lyrical corrections:
Failure is angular. It isn't circle-shaped
And every fucked mistake's unmade
When I abandoned her
And with my wand-like sex,
I cast a horried hex
I laid a curse on her, a curse on her
Another wasted verse on her, gave birth to her"
He's mistreating a girl he's dating (or fucking), and is fully aware of the power he has over her.
"Oh God, forgive me Moses, Jesus, Allah
I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret"
He regrets his behavior. Fairly self-explanatory.
"I could be more than this
With all the time I have,
I am insult to the dead
You should be over this
The infidelities are on account of me
And so I cheat on you, I beat on you with words
and with actions
I will never tell the truth, in debt, aloof
Without you I'm a fraction."
He's wasting his life away, rather than taking advantage of the time he has. He's cheated on this girl and walks all over her, because he's got a whole bunch of inner turmoil and doesn't know how to deal with it. And even though he's being a dick to her, he secretly needs her as badly as she needs him.
Oh God,
I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret
Too bad this won't come easy where I stay
Where I lay in my bed of needles, where I play
Like a bad child on a baby's birthday"
(I don't hear the "Too bad this won't come easy" part in the song, but I don't have the lyrics in front of me so I'll assume they're in the CD sleeve)
Again, he regrets his behavior, and he's being self-destructive ("in my bed of needles") and selfish ("I'm a bad child on a baby's birthday").
"I'll take a permanent vacation
I've got two months to live
And all the mental masturbation
Is just too much to give
So I'll go down to where the river
Flows into the sea
And you can bathe me in your body fluids
You can rescue me"
This verse I haven't entirely deciphered, so this is kind of a wild guess. It sounds like he wants to get away from all this crap and start living life to the fullest, or whatever. The "mental masturbation" and "bathe me in your body fluids" parts are what throw me off - there seems to be some sexual undertone, although the body fluids could also be... gross things, so maybe he realizes he needs to be humbled before he can be rescued. As Fight Club so eloquently states, "It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."
Of course, I could totally be off-base with this, but it makes sense in my head. Haha.

But yeah, halfmike - It doesn't say who the guest is in this song, but there's gotta be someone. The background singer doesn't sound like anyone in the band.

The abortion theory is a possibility, but I'm still sticking with my interpretation. Besides:
The infidelities are on account of me
And so I cheat on you, I beat on you with words
and with actions
I will never tell the truth, in debt, aloof
Without you I'm a fraction
I'm pretty sure at least THAT part has nothing to do with abortion... it's pretty straightforward.

of course, i gathered this meaning from the two lines i mentioned and from a general sense of the song. so i'm definitely open to being corrected.

And with my wand-like sex
I cast a horried hex
I laid a curse on her, a curse on her
i could be wrong but sounds like hes having thoughts about leaving a girl because shes pregnant or that he doesnt want a child.
