OK this one isnt about masterbation,maynard says that because he thinks yous are all idiots and wouldnt understand.Because to him your sheep.

But this song is about somethink we all have that we cant get rid off.

its about our conscience,and false beliefs.

here's how it is :

''I know you well. You are a part of me. I know you better than I know myself.''

He says he knows his conscience better than he knows himself because hes lived with it all his life.

''You are a part of me.

You are just a part of me. You are just a part of me. You are just a part of me. You are just a part of me.''

Now hes sick of it,and starts to mock it,saying its just a part of him and is useless,and it cant do anything.

''give it up

You don't speak. You don't judge. You can't leave. You can't hurt me. You're just here for me to use.''

He tells it cant do anything to him,or harm him,its just there for him to use when he wants.He tells it to give up,casue its gonna lose this fight.

''I know you well. You are a part of me. I know you better than I know myself.

I know you best, better than anyone. I know you better than I know myself.

I know you well, better than one might think. I know you better than I know myself.''

he repeats that he knows it better,and knows its weekness's,and doesnt believe in it anymore.

''It's time for you To make a sacrifice. It's time to die a little. Give it up.

I know you best, better than anyone. I know you better than I know myself.

A part of me.''

Now he tells it to give up,that its lost the fight and its time for it to die a little.He cant get rid of it,but he can kill it a little and put it to the back of his mind.then he says again that its just a part of him.

Thats about it,i hope you buttnuggets find it interesting

@H. Definitely agree that it is about his conscience.
