Cool! I love the lyric "There's a fly, there's a piece of meat. changing candles on the cake to eat."
As it is with most of the Melvins' lyrics, I like them even though I don't know what they mean.
Personally, I hear this song from a perspective of an old man repenting and sort of realizing the pointlessness of everything around him.
It sounds really desperate, and I love it.
On the first listen I was a little disappointed how the song ends sooner than when he plays it live. I had gotten used to the live ending with the somewhat abrupt ending, which I liked.
I prefer the ending in the studio version for some reason.
When it ends like that, it feels like there's something left unsaid, there's something else beyond, but we won't know what.
Kind of like putting ellipsis ("...") at the end of a sentence. And maybe a question mark, too.
P.S. One thing I like more about the live version, though, is that it's slower.
