Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again

[Chorus]
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs
Ambiance and vanity

[Chorus]

December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

[Chorus]

Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

    General Comment:The very nature of the bands name is sponsored by he who collects souls.

    Music reaches down deep to the very depths of this which we are.

    Why drink from the water of my hand?
    Every one knows sin is yet we still commit it. This is our free choice given to us.

    Contagious as you think I am.
    Satan is contagious yet what it offers is that what we like sin. We know it is harmful and destroys us yet we commit/perform/thinks/live it.

    Why follow me to higher ground.
    You have now tasted Sin. Sex with your good looking neighbor’s wife. Hurt another person however you gained power which you know crave for more etc. Get the picture.

    Lost as you swear I am.
    He who is sin we know is lost yet we continue to follow him down the road to perdition.

    December: The month of gods promise to us his son. The fallen one once sung songs to and with Christ. Then the thought of sin JELOUSEY! The end is near and December clouds are covering it for he who is worthy is coming.

    My Interpretation:Why do you come to me for support if everything about me disgusts you?

    Step into my limelight to satisfy your true thirst -- your pride and vanity.

    Stop complaining about who I am and what I do.
    Just let me go.

    I'm going to continue with a career in music.
    Even though you think my path is hopeless.
    You can continue with your shallow pursuits.

    All those promises you made in December were crap.
    I don't want anything to do with you anymore.
    I'm moving on.

    Song Meaning:It's about their split from their manager. He stole money from them, threatened to take the name of the band from them, sued them in court and prevented them from doing any live shows, any public appearances as a band, etc. until the legal matters were resolved.

    They wrote this song in a cabin full of anger & betrayal from being used by their corrupt manager.

    When the legal issues were resolved, they released this song on their next album.

    Song Meaning:This is one of my favorite songs. Basically I think it's about am undeserving girl that puts him down and maybe they are breaking up but she still takes from him contradicting her statements about him.

    "Why drink the water
    from my hand?
    Contagious as you think I am
    Just tilt my sun towards your domain.
    Your cup runneth over again."

    Right here she is taking from what he has, even though she says he's "contagious", and her cup is runneth from her taking.

    General Comment:You guys ever think that this is a religious song? "...cup runneth over,' and 'drink from my hand" are in the bible. Plus, their other song, Shine, is about heaven. This band is low-key Christian. Or they just use verses from the bible to describe a breakup. Your call.

    Song Meaning:Well maybe it is about getting head. But think about this, December suppose to be a merry, spirit filled month with Christmas and everything right? That represents the relationship he's in. However, Hes saying all the shitty things about december, Pretty much he's going through a relatonship thats suppose to be make him happy but is all out of order.

    My Interpretation:This song is from God speaking first hand to all creation. "Why drink the water from my hand contagious as you think I am." speaking to God's creation that has rejected him. God just turns the sun and causes the tide to rise. stop screaming and pontificating and just deny me, stop worrying and doubting about me just deny me. Why do you still hold onto the thought of heaven since you don't even believe in me? Go ahead and keep all your beautiful homes and things that make you beautiful. The last lines are kind of tongue and cheek, december is Christmas and the gift that my true love gave to me. The pharisees and saducees were plotting against the coming birth of the massiah, and so on! That is how I interpret what this song is saying!
