I think the song is about Max trying to get signed but because of the typical unoriginal bands that the rcord labels are happy to sign he isnt getting a foot in. He could, but as shown in belt, he will only do things the way he wants to do them and he won't change. First verse is about him looking to be signed, "for drugs", maybe to feed his habit of music. Then being rejected, "puke green cloud just spat me out". Pollinate me, sign me. Hopes to see the typical bands with their record companys "writhe again soon" or fail. "They've got the army of ears, they can't hear you now" is a clever line. The record companys are supposed to recognise talent "(army of ears)" but just ignore it when they hear it, just because it's different "furrowed brows". But he's still passionate "piss in my veins". I cant understand the last couple of lines tho, posssibly he's taking a stab at those who do just follow the trend of the same old music and actually pay to get there. Or his 12 bucks are his own original song style to give to them and they can do what they want to him as long as he's soing what he wants and getting his messages across to the people, that emos and all trends are a waste of time, stupid and pitiful. By doing this the record label would fuel him up, make him even more passionate but angry.

NO ONE KNOWS! ok anyway, south is warmer. its cold in the winter he's going into the hot land with no shoes, its ironic bcuz its winter time here now and its hot so hes talking bout hot when its cold. Also he is talking about a salty sea and he's looking for drugs and he's bleeding. He's sweating and he's feverish., Its harsh its scary its insane. He's struggling.Across the room i hope to waatch you writhe. The girls he's with is so fucking hot omg and she's naked and he's like watchng her and she's...
