The idea that Max regrets having sex is laughable, i.e. "Eat, sleep, FUCK, and flee - in four words, that's me", "When I watch you, I wanna do you...", "That blissful night I knelt between your legs..."
But here's my [lengthy] interpretation, with some lyrical corrections:
Failure is angular. It isn't circle-shaped
And every fucked mistake's unmade
When I abandoned her
And with my wand-like sex,
I cast a horried hex
I laid a curse on her, a curse on her
Another wasted verse on her, gave birth to her"
He's mistreating a girl he's dating (or fucking), and is fully aware of the power he has over her.
"Oh God, forgive me Moses, Jesus, Allah
I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret"
He regrets his behavior. Fairly self-explanatory.
"I could be more than this
With all the time I have,
I am insult to the dead
You should be over this
The infidelities are on account of me
And so I cheat on you, I beat on you with words
and with actions
I will never tell the truth, in debt, aloof
Without you I'm a fraction."
He's wasting his life away, rather than taking advantage of the time he has. He's cheated on this girl and walks all over her, because he's got a whole bunch of inner turmoil and doesn't know how to deal with it. And even though he's being a dick to her, he secretly needs her as badly as she needs him.
Oh God,
I have made such an awful regret of today
I have made such an awesome regret
Too bad this won't come easy where I stay
Where I lay in my bed of needles, where I play
Like a bad child on a baby's birthday"
(I don't hear the "Too bad this won't come easy" part in the song, but I don't have the lyrics in front of me so I'll assume they're in the CD sleeve)
Again, he regrets his behavior, and he's being self-destructive ("in my bed of needles") and selfish ("I'm a bad child on a baby's birthday").
"I'll take a permanent vacation
I've got two months to live
And all the mental masturbation
Is just too much to give
So I'll go down to where the river
Flows into the sea
And you can bathe me in your body fluids
You can rescue me"
This verse I haven't entirely deciphered, so this is kind of a wild guess. It sounds like he wants to get away from all this crap and start living life to the fullest, or whatever. The "mental masturbation" and "bathe me in your body fluids" parts are what throw me off - there seems to be some sexual undertone, although the body fluids could also be... gross things, so maybe he realizes he needs to be humbled before he can be rescued. As Fight Club so eloquently states, "It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."
Of course, I could totally be off-base with this, but it makes sense in my head. Haha.

Nice, nice. I like the depth you put into it.. and it makes sense to me. Haha.
