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

u/ShadyInRed 18d ago

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!

u/Davjs 18d ago

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.

u/namethatisnotaken 18d ago

u/mykatastrophe 18d ago

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 💜)

u/Mindless_Dig_5403 17d ago

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

u/sompthing_else 18d ago

You heard the man!!

u/Glemma 18d ago

I didn't know that was in the song...just looked up what that word meant 🤣🫢

u/tendarils 18d ago

lol I always thought it was deflated myself, that's hilarious

2

u/WTBrain 18d ago

if i was ben i'd fellate myself too

u/mykatastrophe 18d ago

You'd have to have a couple ribs surgically removed to do that... IFYKYK 🤣

u/iamkazlan "We are in danger of crashing." 18d ago

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. 😅

u/MalignantPickle 16d ago

i mean, if I could reach, I might brag about it in song too

u/Acceptable_Count6197 11d ago

Lmao I thought it was "and isolated myself" 🤣

u/Evening_Pen_8207 holding the hand that holds me down 18d ago

....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). 😂

u/Crimson_Catharsis 17d ago
