In the beginning there was semen
In a deep mouth of flesh
At the crest I traveled
On a wave of virile mess
Through a tunnel of mucus
And on toward a vault
With tourists and traffic
I paced myself
Not "I" as my whole self
Just the half that I had
Before greeting the rest
Of my better half
A connection was made
Through the shared love of science
And vows were taken
A seed was hired
A cavern of fluid
Brought shape to my hide
In the months that remained
Until the time of my life
I thrashed for the reason
Of spilling from the crack
To the palms of a doctor
To a towel full of scraps
My brains wouldn't fit
Through her organ of sex
An incision was made
With a scalpel and masks
I should have noticed the beauty
And not how it hurt
Wet like a cherry
In a bloodbath of birth
In a deep mouth of flesh
At the crest I traveled
On a wave of virile mess
And on toward a vault
With tourists and traffic
I paced myself
Just the half that I had
Before greeting the rest
Of my better half
Through the shared love of science
And vows were taken
A seed was hired
Brought shape to my hide
In the months that remained
Until the time of my life
Of spilling from the crack
To the palms of a doctor
To a towel full of scraps
Through her organ of sex
An incision was made
With a scalpel and masks
And not how it hurt
Wet like a cherry
In a bloodbath of birth

this song cracks me up because of its opening line. i can't help it

I think the meaning of this song is obvious...it's about birth.
So great.
Well technically it's not about birth as she has a C section. The part of the song that I can't really figure out is the very end.

Though as I'm thinking about it, it's probably about the child covered in birth fluids after being removed from the mother.
It seems like a more "darker" side of birth.. how everyone makes birth seem to be a very happy thing to happen or how having babies is a good thing. LOL.. not saying that it's exactly BAD.. but they never really describe how much they really go through with it.
at first i didn't like this song that well. but after seeing them preform it, with the slide show with images of babies, etc. and how it was the first song they preformed (birth of a new era?), i really like it now.
good song.
i think the part about the incision is a reference to an episiotomy (slicing open the perineum) which is done so that a baby will fit through the "organ of sex".
i think the dude got chick preg. and he should have worn protection, eh but what do i know
It's his vision of his own birth? and I agree about the episiotomy
I like this song the best out of all their songs. The simplicity makes it quite disturbing.... and how they arrange the music just adds to it. Once you think about it, its something we're used to hearing. But the way they made the song just makes it quite grim. Ironic, huh?
