I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Flesh starts to rip
Gouging through skin
From the throat
Blood gushes
Glandular eruption
Blistered skin secretion
Internal punctures
Blood regurgitation
Gagging, choking, on broken gla**
Shredded muscle tissue
Wounds too deep to heal
Severed esophagus
Tongue split in half
Lungs fill with blood
As vocal chords collapse
Oral sex
With broken gla**
Ruptured flesh
Ripped through the neck
Mutilate
Pulsing veins
Sliced windpipe
Flesh starts to rip
Gouging through skin
From the throat
Blood gushes
Glandular eruption
Blistered skin secretion
Wounds too deep to heal
In me
Torn trachea
Splintered skin
Down the throat
Choke
Lungs fill with blood
As vocal chords collapse
Oral sex, with broken glass
Gouging through skin
From the throat
Blood gushes
Glandular eruption
Blistered skin secretion
Internal punctures
Blood regurgitation
Gagging, choking, on broken gla**
Shredded muscle tissue
Wounds too deep to heal
Severed esophagus
Tongue split in half
Lungs fill with blood
As vocal chords collapse
Oral sex
With broken gla**
Ruptured flesh
Ripped through the neck
Mutilate
Pulsing veins
Sliced windpipe
Flesh starts to rip
Gouging through skin
From the throat
Blood gushes
Glandular eruption
Blistered skin secretion
Wounds too deep to heal
In me
Torn trachea
Splintered skin
Down the throat
Choke
Lungs fill with blood
As vocal chords collapse
Oral sex, with broken glass

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
corpse's oxidized razor masticator.....except it's glass. i love the middle, when it slows down and you hear the choking noises...ah, classic corpse.
ouch.
This reminds me of this time, when I was out on the piss, in this rock club, and me and my mate, were fucking about, talking about how "hard" we were, trying to go one better on each other, kind of Monty Pythonesque, like:
"Man, you think you're hard? I brush my teeth with brillo pads"
Then my mate would be like:
"Thats nothing, I don't bother brushing my teeth at all, I just wait for them to go rotten, then I knock them out of my head, with a claw hammer..."
Well, there was this kid stood next to us, who must have thought we were serious, so he tries to act all casual, walks in front of us, downs his beer and takes a bite out of the glass. He is standing there, trying to look really tough and cool, while he has tears in his eyes and a bit of blood trickling out of the cornor of his mouth.
My mate was like "erm, you might want to get that looked at mate..." and we turned away laughing, as he ran off...
lol guiffporn
The song's meaning is pretty clear. It is about forcing someone to eat glass. I'm sure no one needed my help on that one
This song is obviously about Star Wars. It describes in vivid detail the death of a fighter pilot as he is ejected from his vessel through the cockpit window.
of course Chris Barnes was high when he wrote this, hes out of his mind, though as sane as you or mw
come on was he high or what? as if sane people think of these things, let alone waste their time to write about it, record and produce it.
If you don't like it don't comment on it, simple as that.
