Cover art for Nagaina lyrics by Poison the Well

I couldn't figure out what this song means, I looked up to work Nagaina and it is Persian word for "Beater". It wasn't until one day I was taking a shower and it clicked, let my children go & beater, the song must be about masturbation as sperm have been referred to as children.

I now believe this song to be about getting caught masturbating and everyone finding out about it.

I have a big secret (no one knows about what he dose).

out of a shroud prison (a sock or tissue covering his unit).

The big horrible mess (sperm).

I'm covered with mud and bile (lotion?).

Inching towards the crowd (of people that know the secret).

Arms outstretched (I wonder why!).

Releasing my confession (not a secret no more)

I am a snake (Male genital reference).

I let my children let my children go (sperm referred to as children).

to fend for themselves (on the shroud or where ever they land).

De scale me leave me naked on the cutting board floor (now everyone knows the secret and persecute him).
