Cover art for India Ink lyrics by 311

I don't know this for sure but I don't have much of a doubt as to the meaning of this song.

India Ink is a reference to Henna, or the Indian art of creating flower-like designs out of temporary ink.

The song is about being with someone that makes you feel so sure that you know that they're the one that you're willing to "carve" your body, but when you suggest to them the idea of permanence they're repulsed.

Basically every lyric in the song is about someone who can't commit when you're ready to commit and "India Ink" is the symbol for that lack of commitment.

My Interpretation

You, Merkaba311, are a trail-blazing genius.

I've been waiting for a comment on this song that's legitimate, and you've done taken the cake.

Possibly my favorite song off of "Uplifter", and I'm glad somebody put it into words.

Why in the fuck are there only THREE comments on this song???
