Lab Monkey

I believe this song is about taking the idea of animal testing and putting it in the thought of abuse.

"Anybody out there? Anyone at all? Can you finally hear this deep in scratching through the wall?" -lonely person looking for someone to spend time with.

"Came far to find me... Down the rabbit hole... Watch me smiling back while Chewing on my skull." -An abuser finds him and the lonely person is happy at first.

"I know... Won't forget... Limped away, From the wreck." -usually when abuse happens, it's because the abused is doing something wrong and the abuser is trying to teach them it's bad. (according to the abuser)

"Is the monkey breathing? Lookin' kinda sick... Got a witty comment for me? Have yourself a kick!" -The abused person is hurt and damaged, but can't tell anyone to stop.

" Does it make you feel good? Are you full and strong? Gonna end up in this cage and I hope your stay is long." -The abused hates the abuser now and hopes that someone will fight him.

"We'll never know what this is 'Til we take a look inside I'm sure we'll find what came before it dies." -Referencing animal testing here, abuser hopes to hurt him without the abused leaving and doesn't know why the abused doesn't fight back.

"Had enough - I don't need you to stick my hide Had enough - no more tears for me left to cry Had enough - I don't need you to blind my eyes Had enough - no more tears for me left to cry" -The abused has had enough and leaves.

Probably my favorite song on the new album and I probably could of worded it better, but that's my interpretation. thanks for reading.
