ok, awsome song but the lyrics go all over the place. maybe it's cause i haven't gotten any in like, a month but i think this song is about sex. i think that the 'beasts' and 'agony' are troubles that the author is having to deal with, all of which melt away when his partner comes close. all 3 verses start with "as soon as you came in", so maybe chino is sitting around having to deal with different shit and as soon as his woman get home, there is more or less an understanding in most relationships that good sex can have a way of making everything better. the main gaveaway, i thought was line 7 "It only takes one break of your pose to get off", for some reason i can't shake this dirty senerio in my mind of a couple having sex and stopping right before climax so as to preserve the feelings and sensations of the build up. sothen they just lay there, unmoving and enjoying the rush of breaking the continous motions. then maybe one of them can't take the suspence any longer and delivers the "deathblow" which sends both (or just one) to the end.

i know this sounds kinda tripped out but if you think i'm bullshitting, next time you are "in the act", try it. just freeze a few moments before coming and try to hold it. i swear it will blow you away if you do it right.

I actually agree... also Chino has been known to have some 'kinky' lyrics, just look at MX and Digital Bath; I think that "the ropes hang" simply refers to BDSM, which is what a lot of people believe MX might be about, or simply masochism.

I honestly can't say FOR CERTAIN the meaning of this one, but I fucking love it regardless.
