Perhaps the title is analagous about spreading the disease of mediocrity.

How she really doesn't care about him (probably doesn't know how).

I love Chino's attention to details, or perhaps it's just me as I found myself playing that "I'm sleeping, not really sleeping" game:

"timing is everything in bed 'Cause you sleep for hours to keep away then sink your teeth and bat your eyes"

Where she really doesn't care to be with him, and even when she is, she'll just sleep to escape. It's like the relationship has thinned so much, and has become just a string of give-and-take. That anymore he is just hoping to get something out of her (like sex), but she isn't even willing to give that.

She just bats her eyes to get her ways with him, and sinks her teeth (which like "showing claws" seems to be his way of showing the bitchiness of girls).
