System Of A Down - Needles lyric interpretation (Interpretasi lirik Needles)

I cannot disguise, 
all the stomach pains 
and the walking of the cranes 
when you, do come out 
and you whisper up to me 
in your life of tragedy 
But I cannot grow 
till you eat the last of me 
oh when will I be free 
and you, a parasite 
just find another host 
just another fool to roast 
cause you 
my tapeworm tells me what to do 
you
my tapeworm tells me where to go 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
I cannot deny 
all the evil traits 
and the filling of the crates 
when you, do come out 
and you slither up to me 
in your pimpin majesty 
but I cannot grow 
till you eat the last of me 
oh when will I be free 
and you, a parasite 
just find another host 
just another stool to post 
cause you 
my tapeworm tells me what to do 
you 
my tapeworm tells me where to go 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tape worm out of me... 
I'm just sitting in my room 
with a needle in my hand 
waiting for the tomb 
of some old dying man 
sitting in my room 
with a needle in my hand 
waiting for the tomb 
of some old dying man 
cause you 
my tapeworm tells me what to do 
you 
my tapeworm tells me where to go 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, HEY 
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY HE-HE-HEY!


        Terdapat dua aliran besar interpretasi terhadap lirik lagu yang satu ini. Sebagian interpreter meyakini bahwa tema besar dalam lirik needle adalah tentang kecanduan obat-obatan terlarang. Aliran Interpretasi ini mengasosiasikan kata tapeworm (cacing pita) dengan obat terlarang atau drugs. Menurut mereka, lirik needle memberikan kita gambaran bagaimana drugs mempengaruhi penggunannya. Menghisap kehidupan para penggunannya dari dalam. Pada bagian I'm just sitting in my room (aku hanya duduk di dalam kamar ku), with a needle in my hand (dengan jarum di tangan ku), waiting for the tomb (mennunggu kuburan/makam/kematian), of some old dying man (dari seorang tua yang sekarat). Bagian ini menngambarkan bagaiman seseorang sekarat karena overdosis drugs (needle- dikaitkan dengan heroin, karena penggunaan jarum suntik), dan bagaimana drugs membuat para pecandunya lebih cepat tua.
        Aliran kedua meyakini bahwa tema besar dalam lagu ini adalah tentang pemerintah. Kata tapeworm diasosiasikan dengan pemerintah, bagaimana pemerintah menjadi parasit dalam kehidupan kita. My tapeworm tells me what to do (cacing pita ku memberi tau apa yang harus aku lakukan), my tapeworm tells me where to go (cacing pita ku memberi tau kemana aku harus pergi). Bagian tersebut menggambarkan bagaimana kehidupan kita diatur sedemikian rupa oleh pemerintah. Tapi seperti yang sudah-sudah, System Of A Down selalu menyisipkan ambiguitas dalam sebagian besar karyanya, itu yang membuat pencarian terhadap makna dan pesan yang terkandung dalam lirik-lirik lagu mereka selalu menarik buat saya :D
