Lyric discussion by NJBilly 

I remember an interview on MTV with Mike Patton by [I think] Riki Rachtman when the song first came out. It was Headbangers Ball I believe too. Anyway, Mike said, "Epic is about what everything around us is about - SEX". The quote may be missing some words, but that's pretty accurate.

@NJBilly When I was a kid I thought it about coacaine. Reading the lyrics sounds ore like heroine until I read it's about rape. Makes perfect sense. It's lying bleeding laying on the floor so you lay down on it and you do it some more. And the small phrases are him struggling with he knows it's wrong but can't help himself. It happens so fast. When I read it I thought that's crazy until I realy read the lyrics.
