Pregnant Lyrics

Liver deceit
Speaking in tongues
Deft as a surgeon's knife
Carving through bone
Pregnant with doubt
You figured out
Tricks of the trade
To make whispers shout
Mouth full of sweets
Rotting your teeth
Lift up the rug
And sweep it underneath

You worry me
When you don't believe

Pregnant with doubt
You figured out
Tricks of the trade
To make whispers shout
Mouth full of sweets
Rotting your teeth
Lift up the rug
And sweep it underneath

You worry me
When you don't believe

Liver deceit
Speaking in tongues
Deft as a surgeon's knife
Carving through bone

I love this song, it's one of my favorites by the CWK. I think it's about a couple, maybe who were originally brought together by their religious beliefs, but now the wife is beginning to lose her faith. And her doubt has taken on a life of its own in the way that it's come between them, so it is like she is "pregnant with doubt". The lyrics make sense with this interpretation, the song could be about anything though, and I can't explain the muffled voice in the background. Sounds like the loudspeaker in a hospital.

I think its about just all people in the world lieing all the time to themselfs and to others. "Slither to sea" - Snakes... kinnda a simbol of bad. "speakin' in tongues" Never really saying what you should. "Deft as a surgeon's knife" a simily making refrence to lieing being as smooth as a sugron (usualy highly skilled) ah im not gonna explain every line it should be pretty stright forward.

Think thats what its about? thats my opinion

i think it's about a young girl that got pregnant and had to get an abortion

I dont think its slither to see i think its "slither deceit" that seems to make more sense, and i definitely hear a "d" sound

I think the title and the song are based off of the uncertainty of whether or not the other person (to which the writer is referring to ) can be trusted. As in "pregnant with doubt". I agree with DAWTSF as well, think he/she/it was right on target, nice work.

"Mouth full of sweets Rottin' your teeth Lift up the rug and sweep it underneath"

Self indulgence. Undesirable consequence. Corrective action taken.

Yep, it's about abortion. A cold, disregarded one at that, I believe.

I disagree Smurk, I see the line "mouth full of sweets Rottin your teeth" To go along with the previously expressed idea of lies. Mouth full of sweets=Sweet talk/talking soda pop/sugar coating it. All of these sayings are meant as lying to someone. and rottin your teeth is the harmful effect it has on the one who lies.
