There are some great interpretations of this song in the above users' posts. Like SASR, I believe it has to do with the flesh, as in sex! People wanna "live the flesh", as in get it on with so-n-so. Once you start messing with someone sexually, a can of worms can open up. You can get a disease, for example. We are drawn in by such a great, euphoric feeling, and then we are spit out, when we get a disease, or we all of a sudden have to take care of a kid for 18 years that we're not ready for. This is one of the greatest songs Chuck has ever written. The solo in the midsection of the song is pure genius, as only Chuck Schuldiner could pull that off. He got a loud cheer for that solo in the live version of this song from the Eindhoven concert he did soon before he passed on, as seen on Youtube. Check it out!
