| SO, HELP ME (MUSCUTT) You say I�m incapable of doing anything on my own so help me please you know I�m lost without you You say I�m not right for you but if it took you this long to realise then I couldn�t have been so bad for you Was it true did you lie will we live or will we die just help me get through this and I�ll love you even more So help me please help me to walk on through I suppose you could say this was another of the infamous �relationship� songs (another one? Fucking hell!), but it can be applied to pretty much anything � if you�re lost and looking for a direction to go in, this song is explaining that. Except for the �I�ll love you even more� part � that�s relating to the relationship idea of the song. EMETOPHILIA (MUSCUTT) Nobody understands you they say you�re going insane but if they knew the meanings of your perverted leanings They wouldn�t talk to you no more Emetophilia you don�t see it every day there must be something healthier Because not everybody likes it that way so will you tell him what the word means on it�s own Because he has a right to know about the nights you spend doing sick, sick things Emetophilia you don�t see it every day there must be something healthier because not everybody likes it that way And when you told him they regarded you with looks of surprise Some turned away and brought up lunch from today as you sighed and said come what may Emetophilia you don�t see it every day there must be something healthier because not everybody likes it that way Seeing as this song was written as I was coming out of the initial phase of song writing, this one is quite a silly song � for those who don�t know, �emetophilia� is becoming aroused by vomit. I think. Don�t hold me to it 100%, but I�m pretty sure that�s what it means. There are a whole load of other �philias� that I was reading about in a book, autophilia was another, but emetophilia was the one I thought I�d write a song about. TOY SOLDIERS (MUSCUTT) Forget about me leave me here in this deserted place So what have I done to deserve this you didn�t tell me it was coming Like a used toy I�ll remain here gathering dust developing rust Why don�t you put me out of my misery I�ve been here for a long while and I remember when I was new But now the attraction fades and the ones who made me are gone now Like a used toy I�ll remain here gathering dust developing rust why don�t you put me out of my misery When you�re far away do you think of me do you still want me with you It�s up to you to come back to me but it�s for the cobwebs I can�t see We�re forgotten sitting here is not so bad gathering dust developing rust just think of the good times Abandoned that�s me discarded with you rot away in the hall ready to leave this dirty place We�ve forgotten sitting here is going to get worse Gathering dust developing rust just turn on the light and revive me Ah, a dual meaning song! Don�t you just love them? This, of course uses the image of discarded toys in the attic as a metaphor for people who get thrown in the corner of society�s deepest cellar and forgotten about. Out casts and weirdo people, you get the point. Of course, most of these people don�t realise that nobody likes them and they mean absolutely nothing to anyone because they have never known anything different, I guess. |
| CHEMICAL REACTION (MUSCUTT) Eradicate this feeling of regret that lies in me never meaning anything to happen it always turns out the same It�s always the people that are always the problem feeling chemicals reacting that are all in the mind But it�s always the same place same people same time paradoxically you feel the same inside In the motion picture disaster we saw you carried away feeling chemicals reacting that are all in your head Why do you tell people you�re in a stable state of mind? When you�re hating every minute it�s all inside your mind It�s the same on the inside of your brain it�s all slowly falling away inside your mind Originally just called �Chemicals�, this song is about how our minds work in certain situations, and how we lie to cover up times when we�re sad or unhappy about things. INPUT A: NO INPUT (MUSCUTT) I think it�s the end there�s nothing left to extract now I might be dead I might be living somehow I feel like nothing ever happened up here no interrogation here at all I can�t remember anything up here Nothing remains but an exterior lights on but no one�s at home always now I�m unmoved to your suffering And I�m immune to your pain don�t input me with this information I don�t ever want to see the mist is clouding on the sea now I�m losing you don�t input me with this information I don�t ever want to see I don�t ever want to know The title for this came from our computer projector things that are used at university. Whenever they were turned on, there would be this message that said �Input A: No Input�, and I thought it might make a good song title. It�s about losing your memory and not being able to do things because you can�t remember how to function. |
| LIMITED (MUSCUTT) I feel above you like I�m superior but reality says I�m nothing much Feel you holding me back and pulling me down and I�m limited to spending time with you I suppose we were meant to believe it and I suppose we�re meant to care Surrounding our friends with all kinds of fortune we�ll end up old and alone Pulling me deeper pulling me deeper down you think we�re equal but we all add up to nothing We push ourselves far beyond you feel below me like a slave and reality says I�m totally restrained So how does it feel to have me holding you down holding you down again? Another song about superiority, like in �Like The Failures�. This one is more specifically about trying to make yourself feel more important than others when in fact you�re not much different from everyone else and get dragged down to other people�s level. C-THRU (PART ONE) (MUSCUTT) Smiles can lie but our faces never speak to say how we think of fiction overload I never thought of what I might see I always thought I�d escape it Just stand and let it all fall in around me can you see through this false decay I never wanted these emotions I never wanted these words can you see through me and this smile you know it�s false so don�t pretend Everyone has to deal with death in their families at one time or another, it�s a thing that comes to us all in the end, anyway. What this is basically saying is �I don�t want to have to deal with it� and hoping that nobody you know or who is in your family will die, because you�re unsure of how you�ll deal with it. I felt like that with my Grandad when he died. We went to see his body at the chapel of rest at this undertakers and it wasn�t nice. I know it was someone I loved and everything, but�he looked so different, it was kind of scary. |
