Song lyrics
Send "Bend To Squares" ringtones to your cell
Gravitated towards a taste
For foreign films and modern plays
But that machine could only
Bend to squares five to six times
Before your fingers came unwired...

Weights down so that you could move forwards

Pinch to snub that restless nerve
And knock the wind from one last urge
With two fingers and a rock glass,
Time passed and that was that
Quite a slip (a loosened grasp)

Weights down so that you could move forwards

... what a way to cut lengthwise...
Send "Bend To Squares" ringtones to your cell

i see it as being about slowly ending your life through alcohal.

first, it mentions foreign films and such.. like social drinking.

then, "that machine could only bend to squares five to six times..." is realizing eventually being only a social drinker will fail you.

"what a way to cut lengthwise.." it is commenly known that cutting "lengthwise" across the wrist will cause death. (what a way to eventually kill yourself)

could be wrong.. just a thought.

Yeh thats what i though.. cos off the whooole cutting lengthways thing..

then i thought it could be aboot like getting sick of life.. bending to squares as in fitting in to the calender of a job or romance... and that bieng the reason to commit suicide...

hmm yeh that dusne make sense but i know what i mean.. anywayz.. tis an amazing song!
