To me this is the best lyric ever written and only CC knows what his song is really about. What’s so cool about music is that it speaks to people in different ways. The listener could interpret it totally different than the writer intended it to be.
So here is what this song means to me: I see the "Flow" as life and the "Rocks that scrape our backs" as the bad things that happen is life, the "Crests fall to troughs we feel our gills open up", there are ups and downs in life but somehow we adapt to the changes. And the best line is the song "and if the hook sets in the bottom of our lungs we’ll rip it out and lick the blood off with our tongues". No matter what happens there is always a way out, it might be painful but nothing is as bad as we make it. "If you turn your head around to look down the path
That’s led you here,
Cause what can you change?" don't drag your past with you into the future.
The one thing I don’t quite get is the title of the song. Maybe CC was thinking about suicide, maybe life was giving him more than he could handle, but then these words came to him and “he ripped it out and licked the blood off with his tongue”.
If this is not what CC mean by this song that’s ok, but this is how it speaks to me. I want this song to play at my funeral.
