You're totally WRONG!!!! You forgot the most important line in the whole song, which is also the most attention grabbing line and the line she stresses the most. "I don't exist" "I don't exist" "I don't exist" The speaker clearly doesn't exist, and we can't ignore that. Therefore this is what I think it means. Daniel Cowman was executed at 4:15 and now he is a ghost. He expected the world to end and everything to stop for him but it didn't "How could it go on?" So now he is a buried ghost who just remembers things about his life all the time and feels gross and dirty because he is covered with so much dirt that he just wants to "take a fucking bath." |

Roostified is correct. Its about a man sentenced to die by hanging, who is remembering a specific scence from his life wherein a heroin addict gave him some good advice about death and destiny. |

The comment by "apres moi" correctly points out the key passage in the song. "No one will notice we’re gone Cause we don’t have a job to keep They’ll just say that we’re being lazy Sex crazy, sex cra-zazy They’ll just say we’re living our whole life in bed And we’ll be in bed but we’ll be oh so very much Dead" It's clearly about suicide, but I think it has a strong anti-corporate tone. No one cares about these 2 suicidal lovers because they don't have jobs, and don't measure their own worth by what jobs they have or how much money they make. This is incomprehensible to society who will call them "sex-crazy." Their cries of "come on daddy" are a call for attention as even their own parents measure the worth of their children by their accomplishments in the corporate world. |
