It's sexual imagery but also, yeah, getting under the girl's skin and vice versa.
"Know who you're dealing with before you gets involved," it boils down to.
A less violent "Little Girls," then.
Spiders are kindof gross but also kindof beautiful... delicate, slim, and deadly.

Re: The Writhing South
I think the metaphors are throwing people off.
It's about picking up a girl and having sex, and it's pretty sleazy at that.
"pollinate me" = "have sex with me" (i.e. flowers/bees)

Re: Thoughts On a Liberal Education
To a high school girlfriend: "I broke it off cos I moved, but now I miss you. It wasn't perfect, but I miss you. So I'm going to throw myself into studying, new girls, and drugs to forget about you, be that for better or worse." (in Max's case, from LA to Sarah Lawrence in NY... big move) A "liberal...

Re: Chia-Like, I Shall Grow
"The highest marks in greed," yeah. Similar to "Signal the Riflemen" in that it puts down the emptiness of the university experience. I love education, but I hate paying out the ass to sit in class and be bored to death by the "thoughts" of my brainless, frat-boy peers... needless to say, had a love...

Re: But A Fleeting Illness
It's a kiss-off/fuck-you song, ala the later songs "Admit It!!!" and "Eloise." It translates to, "You're a bad person, and you make me a bad person, so get out of my life." I love the blasé attitude of this person, using her headphones to drown out the crunch of the human bones she's walking on, i.e...

Re: Crush'd (formerly Awkward)
This is as simple as SA get, vs. the sheer weirdness of something like "Belt" or "Mara and Me," a straight-up love song, and a pretty cutesy one at that. It's about Sherri, their love, and its all-comsuming nature, and also about saying, "Fuck it, I want this to happen." That is, abandoning the safe...

Re: Little Girls
"I kill little girls" = "I break girls' hearts"
It's a warning to the girl to whom the song is addressed, like, "Stay away from me! I'm bad news! I'm a psycho! I hate you! Leave me alone!"
She's trying to get under his skin and change him, i.e. in "The Church Channel," etc.

Re: Death for My Birthday
I could never quite understand this song. The boy in question wants death through the whole song, and then when he dies, he wants to be alive again. This bears only a superficial resemblance to the Gospels, referenced here, where Max sings about the Last Supper ("My dust will be your salt," etc.). H...
