The Notches That Create Your Headboard Lyrics

So tell me again how it felt
to give yourself to the scum
in the beautiful machine
where we made love
green and brown influence
had a hold of you
was there pleasure in your mind
excitement of this getting out
makes you scream
why couldn't that be the day
you choked on it

no one around
to save you
no one to crush your stomach from behind

Was it everything
do you regret your night
I recall you saying you don't regret a thing
well go on your way thinking of no one else
but yourself

Maybe one of these nights
A confession semi will smash your tires
from behind

just dont ask questions
just fly around
with your head cut off
never regretting a ...

no one around
to save you
no one to crush your stomah from behind
no one around
no one to crush your stomach from behind

The obvious theme here would be someone cheating without regret. Unless there are any deeper meanings people can see.

"no one around to save you no one to crush your stomach from behind"

He means choking literally no one around to perform the heimlich manuver haha I think?

okay taking a stab at this... green influence - greed, money.. brown influence- a bit harder but Ill go from the obvious and say shit... or maybe something to do with brown-nosing...

Scum = guy she cheated with. Beautiful machine where we made love = bed obviously. Green and brown influence though...To me I think it means money/greed like tearfromthared said, or maybe marijuana? And brown could mean brown-nosing or maybe even beer? I love the line, "no one to crush your stomach from behind". That part makes me think maybe of this cheating whore and no one "doing" her from behind and wrapping their arms around her stomach. Or something haha.

My Interpretation

"excitement of this getting out makes you scream why couldn't that be the day you choked on it

no one around to save you no one to crush your stomach from behind"

He's wishing that she had choked on her excitement, with no one around to help her by giving her the heimlich, instead of going out to cheat on him.

Ummm...it could be just me but the "green and brown influence" line, to me, is making an obvious reference to the "scum" she fell for...he was army. The "green and brown" in the uniform is what had "a hold" on her...she was impressed by it.
