Nice Tranquil Thumb in Mouth
The Locust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Locust's song "Nice Tranquil Thumb in Mouth" is a chaotic and jarring depiction of the emotional turmoil faced by the singer who is apparently in a state of numbness, like they have been drugged. They contemplate pulling the metaphorical plug that has been keeping them going, knowing that the worst possible outcomes are imminent. It is as if they have reached rock bottom and stripped themselves off all defenses, leaving nothing but destruction behind. The depiction of licking the porcelain where "semen lies" is a visual description of lowered standards and not caring about anything, even one's self-respect. The singer is urged to swallow their own regret and not let pride choke them down. The song highlights the consequences of one's actions and the ultimate effects it has on themselves.
