Reviews for H. Lyrics

songs about heroine. "Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity" addiction(venomous voice, doing the drug(drains me, bleeds me,), then the feeling on it.(sweet gravity)

No matter which interpretation you choose to believe or come up with this is an amazing song. I feel like he's the snake though. What's singing songs is a snake. It could mean that the drugs and alcohol were driving his music and he felt like a snake because they turned him into a prick. They are both void of hate, because they are inanimate, but killing him, because drugs are bad mkay. I read 'blood before me' as a parent, but could be any family depending on your perspective.

Something that I think maynard realizes is that everyone who listens and reads is going to place their own perspective on its meaning. If he talks about his own internal struggle then you will probably see some of your own struggle in the lyrics and connect to it. Unless you are void of perception.

I always took the song to mean that Maynard (or the listener have you) is scared that they will become their parent in raising their children, incorporating both the good and bad that they were raised on.
The snake is referring to the father figure, and the "blood before" me is his blood or his child. He even states that both are "void of hate" but continue to kill him because they are both asking of two different things or too much from one person. (If any of you have children you understand how parents can do this).
At the end he makes the conclusion to stay vigilant with his child and leaves the father behind, "as the snake is drowned" furthermore he talks about his love like an addiction which i think the song is called H. which could be the street name for heroin. The lyrics also make a lot of since if you think about them as a drug addiction.
Just some food for thought.

To me this song is about ego death, something one experiences during deep meditation or as in my case way too many mushrooms. It is like experiencing death, except that you live to tell about it. First one will become introspective, then a great sense of fear overwhelms you. You fear the loss of all you know. To me the snake is ego (or sense of self) slowly you realize your connection to everything and you become everything, your ego disappears and the fear goes away. You suddenly become okay with death, life becomes meaning full some how. For me I was almost wishing for true death, but in a good way. Also the lines:
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.

Reminds me of the idea of reincarnation, something that seems totally possible after you experience a loss of ego.

Taking into consideration how smart Maynard is, that a song like "Stinkfist" can go from gay encounters, to drug addiction, to addiction to TV, I'm gonna throw out an idea here. Maybe wrong, maybe right, but its damn sure better then Mr. Assrapes idea.
H-Enthalpy of a system
What is Enthalpy?
"Under conditions of constant pressure (e.g. most biological processes under constant atmospheric pressure) the heat absorbed or released is termed enthalpy (or "heat content")."
Lets consider 46 & 2, which is, in its most basic definition, a song about a chemical reaction! A snake shedding skin? Changes coming? This CD is a transformation! These songs are about things changing! Considering how incredibly deep into scientific theories most the members are, I would not put this song in a box(son, addiction, and ASSRAPE). We are probably giving MJK too much credit here, and he probably would laugh with how deep we all dive into these definitions, but hey, WHAT BETTER WAY TO SPEND OUR WASTED LIVES! Just a thought anyway...

This song is about his son guys thats it plain and simple and not about dealing with how the public treats his son due to his fame either bc ÆNEMA is only their 2nd album so they werent that big yet.

I do not claim to know what this song was written for. But one interpretation that I don't see mentioned here is that this could be about some of the lawyers/executives in the music industry(or the snake)trying to take over his art and force him to write and perform his music in a certain way even though it isn't ready to be put out ("Looking to turn my piss to wine.") when inside, in his blood he wants to pour out his heart in his music. Every artist who is a professional knows what it is like to have their beautiful piece that they have worked so hard on get trashed because of some legal crap.

Thats pathetic this and many other songs have been stripped of the talent. You obviously have never experienced pain or have any respect for professionally produced music. To the people who take music seriously, i love to hear your reviews and interpretations. I agree with both basic interpretations. i feel this song is the moment using any opiates and the sensation of withdrawls ("Days away I still feel you")ect., his son ("blood before me begs me") to change, though "the snake" (heroin) tempts him and the occurance of relapse ("feel this coming over like a storm again"). Kind of resembles the cycles of addiction. Just an opinion. "H" being the street term for heroin. snakes in some cultures believed to be the devils or the dark spirit animal or symbol. though this song could be about addiction it is very symbolic and could be something other, like others say his child experiences which either would cause perminent mental instability to some extent. For those mocking great lyrics, that is just what Maynard wants. He knows less aware people are quick to judge and have no idea the magnitude of these problems in families just like yours. Ive been through heroin but never had a childhood experience like that. If you had any compassion to even try and understand what that man went through, you would have probably givin up by now being in his position. I admire Maynard because he is a strong human being from what i know. it is pretty funny how nieve most people are. thank you for reading

Lmfao it's about his son guys! "h." being the sons middle name. The songs about how ashamed and hurt Maynard is from having to deal with the troubles his son went through due to his own fame and success..

This song clearly carries on from Prison Sex - it's about him being broken down physically and emotionally from repeated ass rape, while at the same time evoking an "alchemical" change from his weakened state to a stronger more creative being.

"The snake behind me hisses

What my damage could have been."


The person who raped him and how badly it could have fucked him up if he was weaker.

"And I feel this coming over like a storm again now."

Refers to both remembering the emotions he felt being ass raped, and how the guy cummed all over him like a storm.

"I am too connected to you"

refers to the both the cock that was shoved in his ass in the past, as well as his current memory of the event.

"Days away I still feel you

Touching me, changing me,"

him haunted by his ass raping

"Considerately killing me."

sarcastically thankful for his ass raping - it gave him tons of material to work with as a developing artist, now he's a rock star with money and hoes. if he didn't get ass raped he would have grown up normally and became a PE teacher. shoot, i'd take a cock up the ass so i wouldn't end up some shithead PE coach.

"Beneath the storm"

him laying under a raging hot pulsating cock

"Under these tears now"

tears of jizz

"The walls came down"

Him shedding the husk of his ego - read jung.

"And as the snake is drowned

And as I look in his eyes,

My fear begins to fade

Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.

I should have cried then."

coming to terms with his assrape, remembering gazing into his rapist's eyes as he came into his ass again and again and again. he took it like a man and didn't cry, but realizes he should have so it wouldn't have become a repressed scar.

Btw, H. stands for "Hump" - it's a Maynardism.

It probably has many different meanings but the one I get from it is Heroin addiction. I suffered addiction to that demon for years and if you really read the lyrics and think about it...how it consumed you.. you can understand that.

i think his thoughts were a premonition of a reoccuring feeling that he sees in the images of his mind, something that even he doesn't understand completely, while incorporated with his life experience there's more to this than what meets the eye...he's using symbolism, in chinese zodiac the snake is actually good where a snake symbolizes growth and change by shedding layer, but at the same he's fought that change and through knowing that it's hurting him still because he hasn't found what it means and yet...it's there...

Rottedcockmeat DOES have the best interpretation ever. I laughed friggin hard.

"Beneath the storm"
him laying under a raging hot pulsating cock
"Under these tears now"
tears of jizz


^^^LMAO thats when I couldn't hold it in any more.

My interpretation is somewhere between a harmful relationship he keeps being lured back andthe son interpretation you guys refered to. I believe at lollapoluza all he said was my sons last name starts with an H, nothing more then that according to wkipedia.

Oh ya and i laughed my ass off at rottedcockmeats interpretation.

I think the song is about poetic nonexistant people who care to try to disect a song based on their own personal existance.

Really, look at the lyrics people!!! It is someone who was abused by a person who took a sick nice way about abusing them! Sure it coulda been Heroin. "Consideratley killing me." Its about harmful feelings that have been rehashed. For arguments sake say it is about heroin. Its about falling off the wagon. If its about an old Uncle that wanted to butt fuck the kid and then apologize later in life then thats what it is. Find your meaning and hug that mofo so hard you squeaze it death and love it.
