Reese's Pieces, I Don't Know Who John Cleese Is?

"Hangs him, poisons him, and sets him on fire"<br /> <br /> I don't think thats what he does to the guy cheating on his girlfriend, I think it's what the character in the song does to himself after killing them both.<br /> <br /> "This wasn't the worst thing that could happen...yes it is."<br /> <br /> Best thing to do really to maximise the tragedy, having them all die, his slower than he would have liked.<br /> <br /> But then again thats just what I think :/<br />

I really don't think he kills himself for the fact that at the end of the song it says:<br /> <br /> "Stop Rewind Watch Them Die"<br /> <br /> Kinda like he's watching the video of them dying over and over and over...

a little off ok the story is a girl cheating on him him video taping it to get proff then yes he kills the guy with the base ball bat and that stuff but the talking part with a wire wrapped around his neck isnt part of killing the guy after kill the guy he rapes the girl and kills her<br /> <br /> And as for you darling, you're going nowhere<br /> It's kind of hard to move when you're tied to a chair<br /> See there's a twist to this lovely, for you to see<br /> What's hiding in your wardrobe isn't a shopping spree<br /> <br /> Come out to stilts supporting the wait of lust<br /> I always thought you were someone I could always trust<br /> Now watch this, we're smacking flesh<br /> I'm sure you don't even care<br /> But with your eyelids sewn back to your brows<br /> This leaves you forced to stare<br /> <br /> the last part is him killing himself<br /> <br /> And sets himself on fire<br /> <br /> that gives it away that its himself he hang himself on a cliff abover the sea lights himself i think drinks poison or something lights himself on fire and trying to shoot himself in the head misses his head instead hits the rope which cause him to fall into the water and drown<br /> <br /> ok this is the easiest story of there to figure out and the pure obsanity of what people are coming up with as i read thru these like the guy underneath this he video tapes him killing the guy and make her watch it over and over wtf no he put a hiden video camera to show she cheating which is stated in the begining he has to tape over the video he made of the girl and him when they were happy and the manhood in your mouth is literal im about to post a step by step with the lyrics cause people are retarded just read a guy who says<br /> <br /> I think he's in a relationship with a girl.<br /> He goes to work during the day and that's when his girlfriend cheats on him with another guy. (Who really knows what goes on in the afternoon?) <br /> <br /> ummm you may be right till the quote cause who really knows what goes on in the afternoon is starting to talk about what hes going to do the killing and everything

and to die romantic they put the ending more as a add on not as the guy in the story watches it back but more added in like the maudalin motion picture part basically theres a few points were there basically saying we made this story up it would make for a good movie and the stop rewind WATCH it all over is just saying every though you play back the song its supposed to create such an image its like WATCHING a movie

thank you, gorevela. stole the words right out ma mouth.

I agree with everything that you're saying, but I have a few things to contribute. When he ties her to the chair, and she's "force to stare," I believe that he's forcing her to watch what he's taped. The whole song is themed around what he's video taped, and he says "what's hiding in your wardrobe isn't a shopping spree." I think he's referring to the video camera he hid in her closet.<br /> <br /> In the end of the song, he's obviously talking about how he kills himself. "He sets himself on fire" (and a good reference to the band's name as well.) And when he says "Stop, rewind, watch them die," I believe it could imply either a third person audience, or even himself, flashing back to before he kills himself, because during his suicide. There are female screams in the background. I believe it's him killing her after he forces her to watch his recordings of her and the other guy together.<br /> <br /> So maybe it's a flashback to the hours before he kills himself and he's watching them die over and over again on the themed video camera.

I agree with a lot of what both of you two said. This is sort of my elaboration on it:<br /> <br /> My interpretation is that it's basically saying that relationships and emotions die hard. The situation described by the speaker sets up everything to go wrong. When he realizes she's cheating, he has to go through several stages of denial, doubt, depression and hatred which ultimately ends in revenge in which he has to kill them both (which I feel is symbolic of him desperately trying to kill his own emotional attachment to the girl and his hatred of the guy with whom she cheated). He feels that revenge will allow him to let go.<br /> <br /> But even after that he realizes that even though their dead to him (symbolic or literal, take your pick) it's his own emotions that are plaguing him (his own regret, sadness, anger, etc.) so he takes all possible measures to kill these emotions (symbolized by the noose, gun, poison, and fire) but in the end his own attempts are futile and these feelings have to die slowly, and it feels like the worst it's the worst that could possibly happen. But it's impossible to just fall back out of love; the emotions have to die a very slow and painful death, and this is confusing to the speaker because he did everything he could to destroy the remnants of his love (hence the question mark after the second "dying slowly")<br /> <br /> Also the concept of the video tape represents the fact that no matter what beautiful and positive things have happened in their past, it ends up being erased by the horror of her unfaithfulness. Think about it (this is true with me): if you have an enemy who used to be a friend, its so much easier to remember why you hate them now than why you liked them before. The bad erases the good, or "tapes over" it.<br /> <br /> In the end moving on isn't in his control. All he has now is the new footage which plagues his mind. All he can do now is "Stop, rewind, and watch them die," and i believe that "them" means his own emotions and attachments to this girl and to this past that refuse to go up in smoke and must instead drown and choke themselves away slowly.

ok hes the step by step of whats happening matching with the lyrics cause im tired of people who cant figure out such a simple story<br /> <br /> (what you need to know first is shes cheating on him and he hides a video camera to get proof)<br /> <br /> Oh, it's a shame that I have to tape over<br /> Those elysian smiles I thought I'd keep forever<br /> I remember it all like it was yesterday<br /> Forget it all, set it down, hit record, and back away<br /> <br /> (the tape hes using to record was a tape of her but hes saying he needs to forget her cause she cheating and he needs proof so he needs to use the tape)<br /> <br /> My intestines are fastening laces<br /> Intolerable to fucking untangle<br /> These vigilant eyes can't keep off the timekeepers<br /> Second-hand every angle<br /> <br /> (Explains How Hes Feeling Inside Because Of This)<br /> <br /> What's keeping you waiting? Usually out before I open my eyes<br /> Why did you pick today to epilate between your thighs?<br /> <br /> (whats keeping you waiting is the one part not sure about i think the day he actually has the tape in place she didnt leave when she normally does or something and epilate between your thighs really if you dont know what this means sad shes on her period)<br /> <br /> Are you waiting for his tongue to come?<br /> And brush against your cleaned trimmed hair?<br /> I hope he knows, that curvilinear gyrating space<br /> Won't be the only thing he'll taste down there (the most amazing lyrics ever)<br /> (the guy shes cheating on him with eats her out on her period basically)<br /> Stop to think about it, if we've both flooded the same skin<br /> You've tasted me, I've tasted you<br /> Who knows how many places my tongue has been?<br /> My tongue has been<br /> <br /> (just adding on to the part stop to think about it i love how he ays that after what he just said and it applying to before and after if we both flooded the same skin (if we both went down on her)then we tasted each other basically this means exactly what it says this part<br /> <br /> I left, you stayed, I hoped and prayed<br /> That these nauseating thoughts weren't true<br /> (he leaves and she stays so that way it can happen she can cheat on him and he can get proof but hes still hoping somehow hes wrong)<br /> Before we met, I wouldn't bet<br /> I would give up nihilism for you<br /> (she ment alot to him he gave up nihilism which is a religion of basially the next 2 lines explain the religion perfectly and this next part means exactly what it says<br /> Nothing ever made sense, was I even real?<br /> Took everything I wouldn't touch, and made me feel (Hell yeah!)<br /> I had all my faith in you<br /> That you would never commit an act of deceit (that you would never cheat)<br /> To wake up in the ante meridian(to wake up in the morning)<br /> Knowing there would be solid ground to support my feet(having the Proof that shes cheating)<br /> <br /> If it is alright (if it is alright) to conceal the truth<br /> Then when does the concealment end, and lying begin?<br /> Tell me when? Tell me when? <br /> (means exactly what it says)<br /> <br /> This is a maudlin motion picture<br /> A theme song in search of a movie<br /> I've got the perfect script to match this tune<br /> Who really knows what goes on in the afternoon?<br /> Let's not ruin the surprise<br /> (basically first sign that this is a story they made uphe basically saying this would would make an amazing movie and the who really knows what goes on in the afternoon is just like what could happen next talking about everything that will happen later (killing the guy and girl and himself))<br /> <br /> <br /> I don't buy these incredulous denials(i think he may have confronted her and she said its not happening)<br /> Do you think you've found the exit to your escape?<br /> I really shouldn't be thinking this way<br /> It would put my mind at ease if I caught your ass on tape(the only way to know for sure is to get the proof)<br /> There'll be no excuses baby<br /> I'll forward this to your friends and family(love this part even though its fucked up basically saying one i get the proof there will be no excuses and he gonna send the tape to her friends and family but then the next part he changes his mind)<br /> <br /> Maybe I should reconsider this diagnosis<br /> Let's think things out before we conclude(changes his mind about sending it to her friends and family thinks thats not good enough or maybe to mean or something)<br /> Commonly a virtuoso at these procedures<br /> But this was the saddest thing my eyes have ever viewed(the vieo was the saddest thing he has ever veiwed)<br /> <br /> The postmeridian hours that we performed<br /> Seemed like such a perfunctory routine(that night happen exactly as planned)<br /> But I can obviously tell by the footage here<br /> That you're in love with his machine(he realizes that she just in love with the guys dick basically)<br /> How could you do this to me?<br /> Next time you won't get out so easily(exactly what it says)<br /> Now that I know what I'm up against, I came prepared<br /> Bat in hand, behind the closest door I painfully stared(again exactly what it says)<br /> <br /> Say "hello" to this bark, in-between your teeth(wooden base ball bat to the face)<br /> Soon you will also be bleeding from underneath(basically one way or another taking his balls of or something)<br /> It took balls to do what you've done<br /> Having your manhood in your mouth is no fun(puts them in his mouth)<br /> And as for you darling, you're going nowhere(now switches to the chick since the guy is dead)<br /> It's kind of hard to move when you're tied to a chair(he has her tied to a chair)<br /> See there's a twist to this lovely, for you to see<br /> What's hiding in your wardrobe isn't a shopping spree(he shows her the hiden video camera)<br /> <br /> Come out to stilts supporting the wait of lust<br /> I always thought you were someone I could always trust(basically telling her how he feels)<br /> Now watch as we're smacking flesh(he rapes her)<br /> I'm sure you don't even care(but not really rape cause she doesnt care)<br /> But with your eyelids sewn back to your brows(he sews her eyelids to her eyebrows so her eyes stay open)<br /> This leaves you forced to stare(so she has to watch)<br /> <br /> <br /> (explains exactly how he kills himself well trys and it ends up being a slow death instead of a fast one like he planned)<br /> With a wire wrapped around his neck<br /> Tightly tied to a tree<br /> There he stood on the top of the cliff<br /> With his inanimate life above the sea<br /> He drinks his virulent drink<br /> And sets himself on fire<br /> Pulls the trigger through the mid-air<br /> Misses his head, and snaps the wire<br /> Now choking and strangling in the water<br /> His body begins to sink<br /> Not only did that put out the flames<br /> But he regurgitated his drink<br /> This wasn't the worse thing that could happen... yes it is<br /> We're dying slowing again<br /> We're dying slowly again?<br /> <br /> <br /> (basically just saying to listen to the song over and over and let the story play thru in you mind and visualize it)<br /> Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!<br /> Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!<br /> Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!<br /> Stop! Rewind! Watch them die!<br /> <br /> Stop! Rewind! Watch them die! (Oh don't you love to play it back, and watch it all over?)<br /> Stop! Rewind! Watch them die! (Oh don't you love to play it back, and watch it all over?)

@gorevela, thanks for that I only knew that it was about cheating and eventually killing his girlfriend and the guy,<br /> but when I first say 'with your eyelids sewn back to your brows,' I first had thought that she was surprised or terrified and was looking at him with shock or something<br />

To epilate, Gorevela, means to remove body hair.

of course it not to be taken literally and the stop rewind is just telling you to watch it again just like the part about this is a maudalin motion picture a theme song in search of a movie i got the perfect script to match this tune its all a joke a made up story it supposed to be like a movie so stop rewind watch them die not watch them have sex it not the guy watching it over and over hes dead watch them die the only video of them dieing is this song

I thought that was about him beating the guy with the bat ("we smaking flesh"...him and his bat)and then forcing the girl to watch...<br /> <br /> Which is just odd - why wouldn't she care?

no he doesn't rape her.<br /> <br /> In that situation, that is after a girl cheats and he found out, the girl would avoid eye contact. <br /> <br /> By doing this he forces her to look at him while he verbally rips her apart.

smacking flesh is obviously talking about raping her learn to read the whole story and understand i just posted the whole story if you dont understand after that then give up on life

No he rapes her. In his fury he realizes all she cares about is sex, and rapes her to make her happy but make her learn a lesson at the same time. The part where he describes <br /> "Now watch this, we're smacking flesh<br /> I'm sure you don't even care<br /> But with your eyelids sewn back to your brows<br /> This leaves you forced to stare"<br /> is when he is raping her and forcing her to watch.
