All Is Forgiven Lyrics
Heal me darling
Pleaded the playboy bedroom eyes
Grace your sunshine
Till everything's okay, alright, fine
What's hers is his
'Cause everything is forgiven
Forgiven
Though he soured the milk of human kindness
All is forgiven (all is forgiven)
Truth and avarice
Encircle his words like a barberpole
Twisted and useless
Till they disappear in her camisole
Throw away your daggers and pills
'Cause everything's still forgiven
Forgiven
Though he bit off the nipple of human kindness
All is forgiven
Hypocrite, four flusher, snake in the grass
Just a swindler and wolf in sheep's
Clothing, liar
Yes he tries to hide the cross he bears
But splinters, like the truth have
Always risen
All is forgiven
Though he shelters himself in the
Shade of the wings of a stool pigeon
All is forgiven
Pleaded the playboy bedroom eyes
Grace your sunshine
Till everything's okay, alright, fine
'Cause everything is forgiven
Forgiven
Though he soured the milk of human kindness
All is forgiven (all is forgiven)
Encircle his words like a barberpole
Twisted and useless
Till they disappear in her camisole
'Cause everything's still forgiven
Forgiven
Though he bit off the nipple of human kindness
All is forgiven
Just a swindler and wolf in sheep's
Clothing, liar
But splinters, like the truth have
Always risen
All is forgiven
Shade of the wings of a stool pigeon
All is forgiven

Sounds like the writer is describing a relationship in which the guy is constantly forgiven even though he is lying nearly obviously, or at least obvious to the writer. A "Stool Pigeon" is an alibi.
@madshell i think this is a very close interpretation, though I'd also add that the verse about hiding the cross he bears seems to allude to this swindler guy having more to him than meets the eye, maybe a past trauma that makes him act out toward his lover repeatedly, then ask forgiveness. Like maybe a diagnosable anger issue or history of abandonment issues that manifests in lashing out, and to those who don't know him closely lile she does, he's just a swindler.

Yeah. I’ll agree with the last comment and add that here’s another stab at Christianity and it’s take on forgiveness. Oh and why is this song credited to anyone besides Sturmer and Manning? Eric Wagner and Bruce Franklin? Don’t think they were in the band.
This is the heaviest Jellyfish song i've heard (in other words, heaviest they've made) but i have no idea what it's about, just another thing to put on my ask Andy or Roger list.
