Most people arent listening to every word of the song but if you suddenly throw in a word like masturbate then ofc ppl are gonna double back

[@emrickazor2610]

No better way to say it... Plus I mean there are a lot of songs with the word "masturbate" in them...

"There's nothing to cry for, nothing to cry for, all i got, is a barricade…scenarios controlled, emotions outflow, now my lips…so cold. So back in the shadow, follow the arrows, you will find me in a cage. I've got no home, all by myself, nowhere to belong.." Now THAT'S, the best part i've ever heard in the entire song.

[@NightmareWolf01]

To everyone who keeps on giggling or pointing out, "omg he said masturbate" Or, "I can't explain,I masturbate" . It obviously means something deeper than just telling us he masturbates. It could possibly mean something about loving yourself,or (Though I doubt it) "I'm sorry,I'm not perfect."

it is about a person who didnt feel like she(or he) was loved and felt like she didnt belong their so she ran away and tried to "sew" on a new personality, but in the end she finally realized she had nothing left and she wanted answers to y she wasnt... that clear enough ;) ?

[@ichigomilkow]

Lots of people who are depressed masturbate or have a lot of sexual activity. After he said "I masturbate." he also said "I'm just a doll without a brain." which I believe he's trying to say he can't feel pain or pleasure anymore. I actually think lyrics are more in depth and relatable than other English translations.

[@milonar]

I'm all right with the fact that the lyrics in this cover is different from the original song, because this is an English cover, not a Japanese one. It's difficult to cover a Japanese song while trying to keep the direct translation. Besides, there are actually many singers out there change the lyrics for their covers in order to create something unique or deliver another messages (such as we have different versions of Let's be Friends or Servants of Evil or The World is not Mine, ect). For me, this song is great. The singer has put lots of emotions to it. This cover is not a joke.

here 12 years later to finally wonder....who sang this cover

[@OtakusGamingx3]

I think the song is about hating everything you have done in the past, missing you loved ones that you left behind and having no one to talk about it to. So sense you are all confused about the "I masturbate" part it's because, you do that when your lonely.

For some reason, I associate this song greatly with the relationship between Sober!Gamzee and Dead!Tavros. Gamzee is the one talking. I especially relate these lyrics to that statement: Tell me, Mr. Right, what have you seen so far? Quietly he answered, 'Life is just a b----.' Tell me, Mr. Right, what have you felt so far? Grabbed my neck, he shouted, 'Lifeless as a f---!' And also these lyrics remind me of Sober!Gamzee's encounter with Equius: So back in the shadow, follow the arrows

"I can't explain, i masturbate"? It sounds like "i must debate." Despite the lyrics, I'm pretty sure it would actually be debate. Because if one cannot explain, then they must debate on how to.

The actual meaning isn't clearly translated. Though, myself, I feel like both would fit, Debate in your explanation, but Masturbate saying that, listening to the lyrics of the song, the only person that's ever going to love him for what he is or the things he's done is himself, which explains why that would fit there as well.
