Lying all alone and restless
Unable to lose this image
Sleepless, unable to focus on
Anything but your surrender

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender
Surrender

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation, sweet

Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking

Sweet revelation, sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation

    In my head the guy in the song is jerking off to someone that he killed. It kind of make sense...

    Um...question.

    I totally agree that it's about jerking off.

    But why does it have to be jerking off to the thought of anal? Where is that information in the lyrics? Upon looking at the lyrics, I'm more with the idea that the speaker's partner is - or was - a virgin - "new understanding," "sweet revelation." In my opinion, it doesn't HAVE to be about anal, because it doesn't really specify...

    I'm pretty sure MJK likes to make his "audience" feel stupid. When I mean "audience", I mean those who think they understand what he's talking about.

    All in all... don't believe everything you hear. If Maynard willing throws curveballs in all his songs, why wouldn't he do the same with what comes out of his mouth on stage talking to his audience.

    He knows what people like to hear. I could just see the look on the crowd as he threw out that comment about it being of anal sex. He's phucking with you. Don't let him get to you. It's all a game.

    But that's just my 2 cents, Yeah?

    I think this song is about that amazing feeling you get right after you've had amazing sex and your partner's rythm and energy is still pulsing through you and you just have this like...this feeling of absolute peace. I have had this feeling ;)

    Love the sound and lyrics. Despite the obvious stating of the subject, and strong evidence, I feel like there's something more. Maybe because I'm in that frame of mind at the moment. Still, damn good song.

    I read somewhere that maynard had stated that this song was about jerkin off to the memory of having anal sex with someone, this ignited a big debate about his sexuality and all that but since hes married we know how that ended so yeah just thought id throw that out there

    My Interpretation

    Obviously this song is about someone who is obsessed with an individual and realizes that we are all connected on a higher level when he or she hears those unmistakable noises, known so well (ugh...ughhh...uhhhh....) and this person has a revelation. That being that we are all more connected than we would like to admit.
