Spit It Out Lyrics

Cover art for Spit It Out lyrics by IAMX

to me the beginnin of this song is telling of how people come to another when they're upset, "I will replace the noise with silence instead" - that person will take their minds off all the thoughts buzzin around their head. to do this they have sex, however they want it, anything to take their mind off it - "If you like it violent We can play rough and tumble".

"When you're in pieces Just follow the echo of my voice It's okay Tune into that frequency Don't fight your reflex Embrace the instinct You can feel your way To the burden we face in the end??"

  • here i think someone is convincing the upset person follow their sexual instincts. to the consequence that will come from it , a reality the writer puts at the end of this verse to point out the consequences of action which is usually ignored wen people get into this situation.

the chorus makes me think that the writer is against this tendency to casual sex when feeling low. it breaks his heart how people need "love" (sex), and dont go through the usual processes of real love.

"pleasure for pleasure..."- this verse talks of how this sex is pureley physical to get kicks, its a temptation people are weak to. "the past is weakness" talks of the persons sexual histories, he asks them not to "beg the question" (perhaps a new partner) cos they wont like wot they hear- this persons vast history overwhelms him.

just what i think, great song!
