Of course there are so many ways to look at this song because there are so many elements to it: sado-masochism, addiction, desensitization, complacence, the treadmill theory, love and even hate as well. That way that things have come to be is pitiable because simple pleasures no longer cut it to keep the interest. What became of subtlety?" What happened to just being happy with either yourself or someone else? "Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear" comes across as sarcastic to me because it's not so bad but it's hyped up as something intolerable. Hence "there's something kind of sad about the way that things have come to be.

It is my belief that he sees modern relationships as something more carnal that require a form self-mutilation in some shape or form to keep the interest, to quell the boredom. and I think Maynard also laments that that form of sado masochistic relationship, on an emotional, psychological, and a physical level, has become something that has been accepted to maintain excitement in a relationship or for an individual. This is not a song about the freedom in satisfying debauched desire. Intensely powerful in its portrayal of the resultant personal cataclysm. I find the juxtaposition of the song's lyrics with the brutality of the music interesting, the music portraying the quality of over stimulation with the exception of the beautifully gentle middle break in which there is a mourning over the loss of subtlety. I couldn't listen to this song initially, thinking it was simply a naïve rebellion in profanity, but in fact this is very much a rebellious song, however it is rebelling against the very quality many people consider so important today the freedom to satisfy ones desires to the utmost, the greatest trick of our consumer driven existence. While fist fucking in this song is metaphorical, it is also quite a literal example of our societal perversion due to our materialistic drive & loss of spiritual connection. This song is about we as individuals & society as a whole being overstimulated with superfluous bullshit, including sexual titillation, that we have become numb to the subtle beauty of things, & must always be striving for more (over) stimulation to the point of brutal perversion, (as in fist fucking up to the shoulder which is tantamount to killing).

Yeah This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to Show me that you love me and that we belong together When using a search engine such as Google, Bing or Yahoo check the safe search settings where you can exclude adult content sites from your search results Īsk your internet service provider if they offer additional filters īe responsible, know what your children are doing online.Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear Use family filters of your operating systems and/or browsers Other steps you can take to protect your children are: More information about the RTA Label and compatible services can be found here.
