if i were will toledo and i got home after a horrible night and got out my guitar and poured my soul out into verbal poetry then posted it on the internet and thousands of teenagers online who have no idea what i was talking about start perceiving me and discussing my lyrics i think i’d host a massive csh concert then lock all the venue doors and rain rotten tomatoes from the ceiling down onto the crowd
What’s the meaning of this song? I’m not a car seat headrest fan and this song just popped up on my recommended. I only clicked cause the silly band name
@@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194 religious trauma and immeasurable amounts of guilt and emotional suffering, i think you'd have to be EXTREMELY depressed to get this song and if you don't it's understandable, if you don't want to listen to something as heavy but you're still interested in the funny car seat band, i recommend the albums Teens of Denial or Twin Fantasy
@@iwantmynametobeaslongaspos7194 you can learn by becoming a psychonaut alcoholic, experiencing several life-threatening traumas that you were probably responsible for, and losing every interpersonal relationship you have until there’s nothing left but the anger of god. and you’re drowning in isolation under the weight of your countless sins and regrets and your body is threatening to collapse at every moment
@@msicouldntthinkofafunnynam4770 I see it more as being metaphorically consumed, whether it's by guilt, by fear, or by something else. Especially with the second verse, where he says he's spit out by a nightmare that he calls "an angry and a hungry god". There very well may be a sexual component to that, and fear and guilt probably play heavily into it. Ultimately tho, art is what u make of it and I probably just look into csh lyrics a bit too much lol
i think i like to think of it more in a metaphorical sense. words hurt - "she'll open her mouth and eat me alive" possibly referring to saying something that causes him mental anguish or anxiety when he's expecting something good to happen, hence the sexual component? i'm not entirely sure
my theme song to drink and be gay to "holding onto the toilet ring for my dear life the body that i've poisoned was the only one i had i'm not staying healthy i'm not seeing straight i stole your drink when i thought you weren't looking" thank you
i hate when i open up one of wills songs and its genuinely soul crushing and i open the comments and its full of people making corny ass jokes and fundamentally misunderstanding the whole song
very relatable to all those who had a Jesus moment while throwing up on the bathroom floor...................................................................................................
The Car Seat Head fanbase is the type that one half can write a 10 page long essay on a single song and the other half just calls Will a furry
most of us do both

I felt like this song was about having an ed
Honestly, this might be my favorite car seat headrest song. I can’t decide. It’s so hauntingly beautiful to me.
this one reminds me of slint's nosferatu song, its great. i also love i can talk with my eyes shut
i can write a ten page essay on this song
do i
Do it
i'm mad this isn't on spotify, on of my favorite csh songs
if you wanna feel like you’ve been shot over and over and had the most brutal breakup and been born again all in one listen to this
I be trying to just normally talk to some people and they just spend the whole conversation choking on their own guilt
my theme song to drink and be gay to
"holding onto the toilet ring for my dear life
the body that i've poisoned was the only one i had
i'm not staying healthy
i'm not seeing straight
i stole your drink when i thought you weren't looking"
thank you
Im poisoning the only body that i have as i typr this
This song makes me immensely empty and horrifically sad
yeah I had some hangovers that put fear of god in me too
Will I have to see my own gravestone
Before I know I'm not made of stone?
Every shadow as I stumble home
Holding my gut cause I've been shot
I've had a couple shots
Another nightmare spits me out
Escaped one last time from the mouth
Of an angry and a hungry god
Sometimes I can't scream aloud
Too many yesterdays when I acted like there's no tomorrow
You are what you eat
What you drink
Where you sleep
It's getting easier to lose track of myself
[Chorus]
All the angels sing
You are a sinner
Man of the earth
Won't see no heaven
Won't get no second birth
You are a sinner
Unworthy of mercy
I know that I've done wrong
Please, God, don't hurt me
I only get on my knees to puke
Confess in the men's room
Night ended too soon
Holding onto the toilet ring for my dear life
The body that I've poisoned was the only one I had
I'm not staying healthy
I'm not seeing straight
I stole your drink when I thought you weren't looking
I want her with my body
I feel her in my mind
If I looked inside you
What would I find?
But then it happens
And she puts her fingers on me and I'm choking
Choking, choking
So much closer this time and I'm choking
Choking, cho--
[Chorus]
All the angels sing
You'll pay for everything
You are a sinner
A man of the Earth
Won't see no heaven
Won't get no second birth
You are a sinner
Unworthy of mercy
I know that I've done wrong
Please, God, don't hurt me
Eating Halloween candy
I swallow a razor blade and die
Putting on the condom
She'll open her mouth and eat me alive
Eating Halloween candy
I swallow a razor blade and die
Putting on the condom
She'll open her mouth and eat me alive
Eating Halloween candy
I swallow a razor blade and die
Putting on the condom
She'll open her mouth and eat me alive
Eating Halloween candy

Track 10 of “Disjecta Membra”. One of Will’s darkest and most lethargic tracks. Originally intended for release on “Nervous Young Man”, but was later replaced with “Big Jacket”.

im probably just a dick but im so sick of it

got covid feel like shit listen to this banger everyday
the part with “choking…choking” is so cool
how has no one pointed out the connection to this and “sinners in the hands of an angry god”
What is this

oh boi
I open this song because I'm throwing up in the toilet
I sort of understand how they took the advice of don't give them an opportunity to hate you that way
me after eating taco bell
god
boyfriend just broke up with me so i'm gonna drown in infinite sadness
:( im terribly sorry for you
This comment section is making me angry
i didn’t know vore was a sin.....goddamnit
why does he mentions "her", isn't he gay?
I don’t think he’s ever specified, so he could be bi but idk
i mean it's probably about cate (just like everything else)
@@plushs nah it's not about her
as everyone does man prob questioned his sexuality or he intended for it to be from someone elses perspective
Maybe "her" is god or an angel punishing him for his sins and he is fetishizing his punishment
