Cover art for In the Meantime lyrics by Helmet

i can't help but think this is about someone being raped or just sex

Earth tone suits you So give it a smile
If I could hold your feet down Get to know for a while

-I'm thinking this girl is down to earth and all and Page is thinking of getting her in bed (if i could hold your feet down...know for a while)

To make due is a promise Hard to keep without help Never taught to look in I'm too concerned with my health

-the girl must be virgin and to make due (lose it) takes 2 people (hard to keep w/o help). the guy isn't into diving in with emotion, he's just wanting it for the hell of it (never taught to look in...concerned with my health)

Help me spread right, ash is Cow-fertilized Come down in a feed town Strength to minimize

-This part I get lost at though. The only thing I can imagine is that the girl ends up getting pregnant (spread right ash is...cow fertilized)

Hold it

In the meantime

-my 2 cents. Not really sure but I love this song. This song brought me into Helmet and is one of my favorites for sure.
