Shit-filled spasms
Deep in a colostomy bag
I like being trapped inside
The plastic's wearing out

Red and perfect
Her legs spread out in front of me
They're so open they make me sweat
It's my lubrication

Recent findings
Say circumcize the abstinent
and make it hard for them to breathe
I like to make you lie

Dropped and so ill
Steeped in my misogyny
My shaking hands are in the skin
I've gone too far, too soon

You look so seamless now
You look so seamless now
You look so seamless now
You look so seamless now

- Machine

She stared at me
Thinking I was sweet to it
Her legs tied up apart for me
It feels so good inside

Now I'm thinking
Who's this that lies under me
And needs a piece of my respect
You make me so sick

I'm crawling broken
My face is cringing to see
Figures drawn inside of you
Succumb, succumb, succumb

Sickness fittings
Procured this fascist medium
But now I'm laughing in your face
You lie, you lie, you lie

You look so seamless now
You look so seamless now
You look so seamless now
You look so seamless now

You look so seamless, now
You look so seamless
Now you look so seamless now
You look so seamless now

- I must admit
- Perverse pleasure
- I must admit, I must admit

Take me, take my life
Take me, take my life
Take me, take my life
Take me, take my life

Take me, take my life
Take me, take my life
Take me, take my life
Take me, take my life

Shit-filled spasms
Deep in a colostomy bag
I like being trapped inside
The plastic's wearing out

Red and perfect
Her legs spread out in front of me
They're so open they make me sweat
It's my lubrication

Recent findings
Say circumcize the abstinent
and make it hard for them to breathe
I like to make you lie

Dropped and so ill
Steeped in my misogyny
My shaking hands are in the skin
I've gone too far, too soon

You look so seamless now

    General Comment:I don't think he is necessarily mutilating her body... that sounds to me like an overinterpretation of the violence in the song-- although it really is just up to interpretation.

    It sounds more figurative to me-- he hates women, and so he disrespects and dishonors them. He gets pleasure out of using them and throwing them away.

    The colostomy bag represents his mind. It's filled with anger and disgust (shit), and he's about to lose it (the plastic is wearing out).

    As per the chorus... perhaps he sees women's role in society as patched-up and repaired, because women try to act like normal people. When the singer sees women in front of him, tied down and naked, begging for disrespect and domination, they look like their innate, natural selves-- they finally look "seamless".

    General Comment:"- I must admit
    - Perverse pleasure
    - I must admit, I must admit"

    Actually goes:

    "I must admit,
    I do get some perverse pleasure out of it.
    I must admit, I must admit."

    General Comment:i also assume he killed her recently because of the song just so you know "i wish your body wasn't so warm to me"

    also, I believe he did this to a girl that he deeply hated probably cheated on him thus the "you lie" part as hes screwing her.

    added after doing what he did he feels so horrible that he feels suicidal

    Take me, take my life & I've gone too far, too soon

    General Comment:Hmm..i totally got a different reading. I think this is more about any group/organization that practices something similiar to masogyny...wherein they "circumsize" the women...so that they cannot have pleasure. There are many societies to this day that still think poorly about women...and i think they are confronting this issue.
