Actually, this song is about email. Patton is kind of obsessed with the idea of how people can communicate and have relationships over the computer without talking or ever meeting. So this is an extreme version of that concept. Funny thing is...the image of someone sitting naked in front of a computer might not have made sense to people a few years ago, but now everybody knows what it means. It’s become part of our culture.

— Billy Gould, Faith No More Quotes, 1997

My box is full
And my mouth is full
And my life is full

Until the memory’s full
In how many ways, words
Can you say nothing
In millions of ways, words
To say nothing
In how many ways, words
Can you say nothing
In millions of ways, words

What’d I say? I’m empty.

I bought the thing
I taught the thing
And I fought the thing

They said it’s normal
But they’re keeping me dumb, hot
You’re missing something
Keeping me dumb, hot
You must be missing something
Keeping me dumb, hot
You’re missing something
Keeping me dumb, hot

What’d I say? I’m empty.

And I’m sending it back to you
