Cover art for Give Me The Meltdown lyrics by Rob Thomas

i think "feed your monkey" is like "spanking the monkey". soon after sex, the singer's partner feeds them white lies that they're fine, but as soon as "the mood" is completely past(or after a brief rest and being kind of groggy-tired, then suddenly they're both "wide awake"), the singer notices their partner is hiding something that is bothering them. then the singer pulls them close and asks them to "lay it on me". their partner suddenly feels overwhelmed and the world is spinning out of control then they take up the singer's offer to vent, and they basically explode with everything that had built up. they give into their emotions and have a meltdown.
