This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
He shakes his death rattle
Spittle on his bib
I don't do the dishes
I throw them in the crib
I've eaten you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth, it makes me sick
I've stumbled here
Failed to make it mine
They say I'm plump
But I throw up all the time
I've eaten you, I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth, it makes me fear
Do you fake it for me like I
Do you fake it for me like I
Do you fake it for me like I
My baby's in her arms
Crawling up her legs
Like a liar at a witch trial
You look good for your age
I've eaten you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth, it makes me sick
Spittle on his bib
I don't do the dishes
I throw them in the crib
I've eaten you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth, it makes me sick
I've stumbled here
Failed to make it mine
They say I'm plump
But I throw up all the time
I've eaten you, I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth, it makes me fear
Do you fake it for me like I
Do you fake it for me like I
Do you fake it for me like I
My baby's in her arms
Crawling up her legs
Like a liar at a witch trial
You look good for your age
I've eaten you
I'm overfed
Your milk's in my mouth, it makes me sick

I believe this song is about a lot of different things that Courtney was going through in the early 90's. just my opinion... I think the first two lines are about Kurt and heroin - 'He shakes his dead rattle Spittle on his bib' The lines - 'I'm eating you I'm overfed Your milk's in my mouth It makes me sick' I think are about being pregnant. Feeling hungry and overfed and sick, defiantly a pregnancy reference. I think the part - 'And I've stumbled here Failed to make it mine They say I'm plump But I throw up all the time' I think Is about nothing going right for her in the public's eye. She wanted to be loved more than Kurt, make a better album than Nevermind, instead people hated her for being a junkie, a bad wife and bad mother and all that. She also cares a lot about her appearance, she hated being 'fat' and ugly. So the throwing up all the time may be an eating disorder reference, again this is just my opinion, I could be very wrong. The 'My baby's in her arms Crawling up her legs.' Line Has to be about having Frances taken off of her. The line - 'Like a liar at a witch trial You look good for your age.' Courtney has said she wrote that about Kim Gordon. I do know that Kim told Courtney to not marry Kurt, she said it would ruin her life. In some ways she was right. I love this song, it's one of my favorites off the album. Shes getting all her anger out.
