Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
That a man would kill for it
Lie just to lick a bit
Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
To lie just to lick
Fake it, you like it, just take me away.
(hold it?), just save it and I'll be repaid
Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
That a man would kill for it
To lie just to lick a bit
Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can't do it today
What makes it so good
To lie, to lick
Take it, enlarge it, became it, before
Like it, I like it, and I'll be (can't tell)
Fake it, then like it, just take it tonight.
Take it
I look at you, (then) you look at me, (then) you look away [Repeat: x14]

    I don't think your angle on the pusy eating is wrong, but I think it should be said that this song has some much deeper meanings.

    I think the artist is exploring the nature of a man, or more accurately someone who is a kind of predator. The "each time i pull it apart, i get disgusted" could be the feeling of self-disgust that the person feels. I don't think that the person who is 'saying' these things is a predator themself - but they are addressing the part of themselves, asking it "what makes it so good to lie, just to lick a bit". The way he enjoys sex disturbs him and disgusts him.

    I think that this is also echoed in the lyrics "take it, enlarge it, become it" which has an obvious meaning, but also he 'becomes' this sexual drive that is being seen as a monster in his own head/being.

    Finally, the point of the song, in my opinion, is that the reason for all of this is a sick relationship. they've had sex, but they cant look at eachother. I think that the way (is it John Davis?) sings 'you look at me but you look away' is meant to sound sad.. almost as though he's looking for aproval from his partner but does not get it, and then the next time they do it, he feels disgusted again.

    It voices the silent pain of having sex when there isn't any 'true love'.

    I think it's about some guy is digusted everytime he is about to eat his girls' pussy (..pull it apart../..lick a bit..) I might be wrong

    Song Meaning

    I listen to the song whenever I get disgusted at what everybody does just to hit some tail. Sex is fantastic but for some people, they will do anything to get it regardless of what it takes and who gets hurt. A lot of Sepultura's songs are about raw emotions, i.e. pain and hate, etc.

    We let the pussy change us, we let it destroy our morals, and it can dominate our lives. We take it and enlarge it and it becomes our God.

    Look at the whole first stanza. We lie for it, we kill for it... Maybe he digs the pussy too but when he thinks about all the stupid crap these chicks do to get laid and the stupid stuff men do for it, he gets disgusted and just loses the mood for it. Can't do it today.

    Maybe the last part means some fake folk can't look the real folk in the eye because that lie is easily seen. Or maybe the chick that double crossed you and screwed your friend can't look you in the eye anymore or the friend who banged your woman can't look you in the eye either. Not sure, haha.

    I could be way off base about it all but it's just my two cents.

    This song is off of Roots, I don't know why the lyrics weren't on here before, great song. Features Jon Davis from KoRn, back in the day when he had a good voice.

    I think this song is about relationships, and that kinda has to do with the pussy eating.

    They "do it", and he thinks it feels good, but he knows she doesn't feel the same way ("fakes it") and it makes him sick that he enjoys something that's awful to both of them. He doesn't think he can do it anymore.

    When they are done, they look at eachother, and lookaway, because both aren't really into eachother and are disgusted at what they do (could be love, or in fact pussy eating)

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
