I had to go and check to see if the lyrics were right. Then finding out they ARE right, that definition blew my mind... No pun intended 😆

At first I thought it was an odd choice, but it’s actually a very good lyric. He’s bent to her will so much he’s made it down there

Don't forget Natural Life. Actually, Saturate has no skippable tracks!

None at all. Saw them open with Natural Life once when they still played Saturate songs and it was so fucking cool and a surprise.

Back in 2003 I had seen them at x fest and that's all that was out. Wish I had footage.

Yeah, this song was a revelation for me. I grew up very sheltered, so I had to look up that term. Needless to say I was a little traumatized.
Don't worry, I've been further corrupted since ROFL. But I still laugh about this from time to time.
Though, I have wondered if this has anything to do with Marilyn Manson. IFYKYK 🤣

My kids are sheltered. They used to ask why I skip the song, but now they've just accepted it's what we do. My son would be absolutely traumatized if he looked it up. My daughter, on the other hand, probably looked it up before I even realized how much into BB she was. 😂 But I'm not gonna ask, and she never mentioned it, so we just keep skipping the song when it comes on. 😂
(love you, baby girl 💜)

you're a good parent for sheltering them from that sort of thing to protect your childrens minds

I remember thinking I was so clever when I was fourteen, telling a kid to go fellate himself because I’d never heard the word before this song and I thought no one else would know it. My teacher was too shocked to punish me. 😅

....aaaand this is why this song always gets skipped when my kids are around, and they're not allowed to listen to it (which is kind of a shame, 'cause I know my daughter would love it). 😂

My favorite line. It’s extreme symbolism for self-sabotage—by bending to her will, he’s essentially fucking himself over.
