When I die wont you berry me Coz I buried you baby Deep in me...brilliant line, kinda ironic

this song is so great, but them lyrics are way off

this song IS great. good lyrics. i love courtneys voice in this. so powerful.

This is a really good song. One of the best of the first Hole album. It's hard to explain what it's about but roughly I always interpreted as being about someone who doesn't really care, maybe a boyfriend who doesn't really care but the other person is infaturated with them and doesn't see what a loser they are. Yeah, basically someone who finds themselves attracted to assholes and likes to hang around people who aren't as good as them.

Suicide.

I think it's about sex ("ride on my death machine", "buried deep in me"). I always found the last two lines intriguing.

I think this song is about prostitution and deadly STDs, probably AIDS (it was written during a time when the HIV virus was a death sentence). Viruses look like berries and, as parasites, they kill what they need. The prostitute is the death machine offering sex for money, with viruses buried deep inside her that will cause her death and maybe infect others ("When I die, won't you bury me? Cause I buried you, baby, deep in me" meaning she speaks to the man who transmitted her the deadly virus). "Cut it open" means she is doing the HIV test, "I wanna know", and "now I know" - now she knows she is HIV positive, and that she caught the deadly virus from the garbage man.
