What was that you just said?
That didn't make any sense to me
It's not the way I see it, man
I'm almost tired of listening to you
Why do you tie me up with words?
The way your eye shifts makes me wanna go
Black-jawed living room couch professor
When will you be through with me? I'd like to know
Everywhere I go I feel it
But I won't talk, I won't get stuck with you
Everyone's so lonely I dig it
But I'm afraid I can't share this with you
So don't make me your captive
I don't feel like talking your shit
I nod my broken head
I'm not too amused with humans

    My Interpretation:The song is about being fed up with stupid people in my opinion. This song totally hit me one day when I was sitting in class and just listening to people rattling off half-assed opinions, or just their whole existence being futile.

    not too amused with the immaturity/ignorance of humans?


    "i nod my broken head"..there's no point in trying to instill ideas/influence these people....just nod at the stupid shit they say that you probably dont even agree with..

    General Comment:agreed!!!! wicked song, great build up. i think its about this person, who obviously has problems, but will not talk about them, and therefore - he wont accept them. the bit with "Black-jawed living room couch professor" refers to a councellor or interrogater figure, but is a metaphor for maybe someone close to him who is pushing him for speach. the lyrics have an extremely depressive tone to them, with a large sense of worthlessness "not too amused with humans". depressants often resort to thinking on a large scale like this. also, the first line -
    "What was that you just said?
    That didn't make any sense to me"
    shows he is preoccupied with his thoughts and is perhaps dillusional.

    General Comment:i'm also impressed that such a great song has had no comments so far. Well, in my opinion this song might be about a guy complitely controled by (man/girl?)someone who always puts him down. In this lyric it seems he is in a torture session.
