I Cum Apart
The O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you about my baby
She′s a moonlit mile out on Route 80
She's a stone-dead tease and I beg and I beg her, please!
But ain′t no mother. sister, daughter gonna save me

My balls are a hurricane of squirrmin' pain
Burning, churning yearning to get they sperm into another plane
Who's to blame?
Fences of consequences, futility
Responsibility, what′s illin me,
Leaves me screaming!
Keeps me just dreaming about the meaning of my goddamn semen

I need to get laid badly, hello I love you madly
Shut up jim, you hippie
If you were here I′d rip the
Shit out of your head but you're already fucking dead!

Another fine day for killin′
We got murder in our bones
In the United States of Senseless Pain
Look out for people you don't even know

I cum apart

Invisible forces makin′ me miserable courses through my brain
Insane, make me wanna get slain by a P-G and that's "I" in between
Got a deadly machine that′ll make you go cold
And you'll never grow old
And it's easily sold
What is that? You ask what is that, it′s called the gat
And if they let loose this gat
You′re gonna hit the mat with a splat and that's that (Ah!)

It′s a cool way to die on the highway
We lie in pieces like Reeses, the lease is up
You couldn't give a twitch, let alone a fuck
We used to look like Ken and Terry′s
Now like Ben and Jerry's
Fillin′ cemeteries with memoraries
Say goodbye to all the Jens, Jills, Karens,
Sharons, Jennifers, Elizabeths and Kerrys
Oh and the cherries...

Ah that sacred blood on my hands,
I respect her for the privilege forever
That blood con't be back again, not now not never, no
Like Mark David Chapman, playing a game of Pacman
On Yoko Ono's Afghan
It ain′t gonna happen!

I hate this show, I hate this fucking show
Feel like I′m trapped in a bad video
And it keeps coming back to me son
In my dreams or awake
A constant fucking re-run
Begone!
Ah I'd like to make those images scramble
But alas I can′t change the fucking channel

I cum apart

Some
Times I feel like a wheel going round round round
Gone too high and I can't come down
And the world is a maze, and our God is a clown
And I bash my brains to the final sound
Of the end about to come
Apart but wake up and it still ain′t done
And the day after that it'll still get sung
Like it always has from the start





I cum apart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "I Cum Apart" by The O's convey a sense of frustration, desperation, and a warped perspective on relationships and sexuality. The opening lines introduce the singer's baby as someone who is distant and unattainable. Despite begging for her attention, the singer realizes that no one, not even family members, can save him from his current state.


The second verse delves into vivid imagery of pain and a desperate need for sexual release. The hurricane-like sensation in the singer's balls represents overwhelming desire. The lyrics explore the concept of responsibility, consequence, and the meaning of one's own semen. There is a dark humor in the contrast between the need for sexual satisfaction and the futility of the situation.


The following verses touch on themes of violence, murder, and a sense of hopelessness. The line "In the United States of Senseless Pain, look out for people you don't even know" suggests a society characterized by violence and danger. The singer feels disconnected from reality, as if he is falling apart emotionally and mentally.


The lyrics also reference guns ("the gat") and the desire for violence, perhaps as a way to escape the suffocating emotions and disturbing thoughts. The imagery of being torn apart and filled with blood further accentuates the chaos and despair within the singer's mind.


The chorus, "I cum apart," is repeated throughout the song, symbolizing the unraveling of the singer's mental and emotional stability. It reflects a sense of being overwhelmed and fragmented.


Overall, "I Cum Apart" explores themes of sexual frustration, existential dread, violence, and a distorted perception of reality.

Drawing a parallel to a notorious murderer, implying a destructive or dangerous situation


It ain′t gonna happen!
It will never occur


I hate this show, I hate this fucking show
I despise this situation or reality I am experiencing


Feel like I′m trapped in a bad video
I feel confined within an unpleasant or unfavorable circumstance


And it keeps coming back to me son
This feeling constantly resurfaces, reminding me


In my dreams or awake
Whether I'm asleep or awake


A constant fucking re-run
It's a repetitive and frustrating cycle


Begone!
I wish for it to go away


Ah I'd like to make those images scramble
I desire to disrupt or distort those images


But alas I can′t change the fucking channel
Unfortunately, I am unable to alter or escape from this situation


Sometimes I feel like a wheel going round round round
Occasionally, I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle of repetition


Gone too high and I can't come down
I have reached an extreme point and cannot return to normal


And the world is a maze, and our God is a clown
The world seems complex and confusing, and our concept of God is absurd


And I bash my brains to the final sound
I continuously attack or harm myself until the end approaches


Of the end about to come
The impending conclusion or demise


Apart but wake up and it still ain′t done
Despite being separated, I awaken and realize the situation is not resolved


And the day after that it'll still get sung
Even the following day, the same painful circumstances will be repeated


Like it always has from the start
Just as it has perpetually occurred since the beginning, without change


I cum apart
I experience emotional and psychological disintegration
