Song lyrics
(verse 1)
I used to know this woman who had the most beautiful
tattoos on the top sides of both of her hands
she was forty three years old and as far as I know
had never yet been with a man
its not that she wasn't attractive she was beatiful
but its the way that she interacted
she was aggressively passive to the point where she
would of intimidated any mitt that ever tried to catch her
on the right hand she had a tattoo of a nude girl
she claimed it is what God resembled
but on the left she had a mirrored image of the same female
and this one she explained looked like the devil
I remember once watching her touch her own breasts
how the tattoos smiled as they stared down her stomach
as if anticipating would they be allowed to caress
the sweet flower that they both seemed to hunger (sweet flower)
now maybe I was high but it felt so right
heaven and hell both take to this womans womb
it didn't make sense how she could commence
touching herself with me wide awake in the same room
now if I've learned anything in my years (my years)
I learned I no longer believe in surprise (in surprise)
but what happened next damn near stole my tears
the tattoos came alive right in front of my eyes
they both slowly stood up and climbed off her hands
and showed me why she never took some time with a man
they climbed deep inside of this woman's garden
she closed her eyes and she gently bit her bottom lip
I stepped I left and I don't regret leaving
and I'll never forget all the things I saw that evening
a glimpse of religion a piece of coming closer
to understanding more about what intrigues me most
I didn't get turned on I just got turned
I wasn't as aroused as I was concerned
for each one of em I've hurt
and every time I've been burned
I've got a lot to teach but even more to learn
so now I keep my eyes open hoping to take in all I can
about Woman taking in all she can
and for as long as I breath i'll save a seat in my memory
for that woman with the tattooed hands

(chorus: repeat 5x till song fades)
There's good and evil in each individual fire
identifies needs and feeds our desires
as long as we keep our spirit inspired
she can bite her bottom lip all she wants

Dude, first of all, whether or not his sexuality is in question, calling someone gay in this context is never a burn. But enough of my rabble rabble, I agree, slug is a great story teller. A friend of mine very recently turned me on to atmosphere, but I already knew this song from somewhere, it's beautiful.

this song [/i]is [i]amazing. But what is it about?
I get the storyline, but i don't understand what he is saying, what he is trying to tell. Is he talking about how he doesn't want to hurt another women again, like he says at the end, or what?

From the opening seconds of the song you know its gunna be somethin special. I got a few friends who listened to it but couldn't get into the song but this is one of my top 5 favorites of Slugs. And where the hell you come off sayin Slug is gay? Whatever Atmosphere is gettin big and its about damn time. Got the headshots cd yet?

How can you not know what this song is about, it seems so cut and dry to me...
...to me, its about the good and evil that can be seen in everything on earth, slug saw this in that girl, she was beautiful, like something sent from the heavens, but then she tried to tempt him and he got affraid and ran (when she bit her bottom lip), and to me, slug realized this and then he talks about good and evil in each individual fire, cause fire is neutral, its good and bad, and you just have to keep your spirit inspired and in good hopes and then you can face evil and over come it (she can bite her bottom lip all she wants)

If you don't understand his songs how can you say you like him and the song is amazing. Isn't liking songs supposed to be about the message?
Not meaning to be rude but...
I just don't want atmosphere becoming "popular" for the wrong reasons because ppl think it's cool to listen to him...and not for the messages he's trying to get across.

My first issues is taht the narrators sexuality is obviously not the point of this tale, My second issue is the meaning of the song, its not about good and evil even though someone said its ''cut and dry'' and the song actually says heaven and hell. the woman was a victim of a rape at a very young age, before her womanhood. her as a woman had never yet been with a man. she revealed something to the narrator and it was a harsh realization for him and it made everything in his life make sense. im gonna end this here, but think about it that way, seriously...

What comes up for me is polarities (good/evil, God/the Devil, male/female), which would be what intrigues Slug most (woman to his man). All spiritual practices are about aspiring toward the union of polarities (buddism, hinduism, tantric practices, earth based spitituality). The woman is a feminine physic vampire, "aggresivly passive" (masciline vamps get their energy by being aggresive outright). Vampires are created when the illusion of seperation rules that person's reality. When we don't have the awareness that all we see exists within us, we are reduceed to trying to steal/manipulate love from others. This reality is as addictive as masturbation; not to knock jacking off ! I think saying she's never been with a man is a way of saying she'd never been in a functional realationship. And "keeping our spirits inspired" is garlic and crosses and sunlight to these kinds of vamps. Thers's more but it's hard to articulate.

Like my man says from the opening of the song you can already tell it's "epic". I love this song, the beat, the lyrics, the message. It is definitely one of his best.

i cant be 100% sure about what this song is REALLY about, but i think its about this woman who is a FREAK, and double fisted herself infront of slug --> the tatoos on her hands climbed deep inside of her garden, and he wasnt turned on, just turned.
