As mentioned in response to an earlier commenter... Like so many other art forms, lyrics can be incredibly subjective and these lyrics are brilliantly laced with symbolic metaphor. For example, I could take another 'dose' of arguing with my mother as it can be like a poison that I kill myself with or another dose of my mundane life by going in for yet another shift at my meaningless job etc... There are many drug use words and phrases in this song but, like many others, I suspect they're being used to describe something much more profound and meaningful than what appears on the surface |

@[john110039:36616] Not saying you're right or wrong as Patton himself has not disclosed his inspiration or meaning for these lyrics and, like so many other art forms, lyrics can be incredibly subjective. But, I'll ask you to think outside the box a little further if you can as these lyrics are brilliantly laced with symbolic metaphor. For example, I could take another 'dose' of arguing with my mother as it can be like a poison that I kill myself with or another dose of my mundane life by going in for yet another shift at my meaningless job etc... There are many drug use words and phrases in this song but, like many others, I suspect they're being used to describe something much more profound and meaningful than what appears on the surface |

So many interesting and differing interpretations of the handshake and the fuck line lol! To me, it's about it being easy to meet a stranger as there's no relationship there and so no baggage or expectations and, conversely, the intense intimacy of the fuck is also fairly easy as it's just pure emotional/physical love or lust and we can lose ourselves and life's challenges in those moments but the hard stuff is all the stuff in between where I get stuck in neurotic chaos and other human uncertainties |
