A boy who never learned his own way through life, maybe he never had any dignity, seeing the pretty woman you can buy, but always getting cheated or abused? 'the scalpel dives into the skin Good doctors never leave a scar No proof again' Getting lured by whores and exploited by organ donors who leave no sign of the wrong done? pretty weird but I wouldn't put it past Live, damn diverse band if you ask me. 'where did I go wrong? I never needed this before I need a woman to help me feel' a real emotional need, maybe the Buddhist or Hindu culture's belief that a man is only a man once he's been with a woman (actually, almost any culture's belief). Trying to buy something that can't be bought and getting hurt in the end. Alot of the other lyrics and peices of the chorus refer to the way you can have an entire world inside your head, a dream 'like a world tattoo' that has nothing or very little to do with reality, so you keep making moves that are foolish and unenlightened. Somewhat Biblical, 'losing rib' , Adam's body as used to create Eve, perhaps he puts a part of him into the woman (he actually does get her) or symbolically, and afterwards he realizes 'boy loses rib as he's summoned to the mud Flat on his back Cryin' where did I go wrong?' that it isn't really what he wanted, it's false it's empty it's without real meaning or EMOTION, which he seems to need so much from his attempts to get a 'woman', which may be symbolic for the feminine side of a person. God I'm long-wined. Oh well, it's probably because no one here really listens to me besides my boyfriend and my 12-year-old brother. Enough once again of the gloom...... |

I agree totally with sarac, I love this song now after having mixed emotions for it at first. It is also very touching to me, sometimes I cry. Music does that to me. He sounds like his whole life left when she did. I've felt that way, the dependent relationship that is suddenly pulled out from under your feet leaves you hanging pretty awful. Like chewed bubble gum discarded for fresher, or a previous angel bereft of all brilliancy, just cuz they can't see you......... Anyways, enough of the gloom.... |

Easy...... 'rise and fall of my sloppy love the smatterings and splatterings' is sex, and smatterings getting you is pregnancy possibly. Maybe a girlfriend or affair of his was very paranoid about un-planned-for babies. Also, 'hold me down I wanna find out' is sexual discovery of personal technique, perhaps. Kinky. Ummm... 'You know you never get what you need',Maybe she never orgasms? Blue Diamonds are a brand of matches, caffeine is an upper, basically excitement. Not sure about incineration, squelching desire by giving in to it? (My way) 'Pull out of your stall, maybe I'll see you after all' is use of a pun that PARENTS use, "Kinda like closing the barn door after the horses have escaped" 'Burning man', easily a man overheated by his....mojo. 'I won't get enough until my legs are broken' , going at it like a couple of little rabbits until you poke an eye out with that thing!!!!! 'Life is not to fear' the irrational fears of a virgin. 'Life is to enjoy' a come-on line of some sort. Mr Death.....who knows for sure? I like that line the best out of them all,however..... ' sparks will fly into the summer air' 'the stars they shine in an empty void' is the ecstatic visions acheived during orgasm, falling into 'the summer sky' and they being the stars,so to speak. she must not have been too impressed, or she would've called. Definitely the theme is sex. |

Pretty obvious to me, but who knows? He's just feeling empty and in need of a little union, love, touchy-feely. |

| Hed PE – Swan Dive Lyrics | 24 years ago |
| Simply suicide, personal worthlessness, and some self-pity thrown in for good measure. Because we are never really alone, and never really with anyone in the truest sense, exept when you find someone who likes it inside your skull. Who would you want inside your head? Someone who would not judge. Who would not judge? The very accepting, and that is usually something that comes with love. So he is simply indulging in a fantasy of emptiness that he may or may not know to be false. Poor fooker. | |
