So after a friend of mine who listens to Tool gave me an interesting interpretation of their "Stinkfist" I thought that maybe I need to think more abstract too and find subtle messages behind lyrics which seem so determined and obvious at the first sight.

When I really thought about Nookie and listened to it with whole my heart and my mind open I was left amazed. I actually started crying from how beautiful their actual message is, it touched me that deep. And the nonchalant, goofy way the song is written just contributes to the message it sends.

I also discovered that Rollin is an amazing song about struggling with life and never giving up, but more about that later.

INTERPRETATION

"Check, one, two" - It means he is a very wary and careful person that doesn't just run into things but checks first.

"Came into this world as a reject look into these eyes then you'll see the size of the flames" - He is a social reject with a fire burning deep inside of him that is ready to be unleashed. Look into his eyes, REALLY LOOK INTO THEM and you can see the size of the flames.

"Dwellin on the past Its burning up my brain, everyone that burns has to learn from the pain" - People must learn to control their fiery temper and learn from the mistakes in the past.

"Hey I think about the day My girlie ran away with my pay When fellas come to play" - Such a beautiful metaphor... I... I can't find words to describe it but I'll try. His girl is actually the music industry and the fellas are other bands. So what he is trying to say is that music industry just likes what is hot ATM and money which is supposed to be your pay can be easily given to some other band.

"Now she stuck with my homies that she ****ed And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat" - He is saying that music industry is now stuck and stopped progressing after she drained his "homies", aka other bands. And he is just a sucker(loser) sad because of it(lump in the throat).

"Hey, like a chump Should I be feelin' bad? No Should I be feelin good? No" He is comparing himself to a champ because he was so easily deceived. But in the end he starts feeling pretty apathetic towards rejection by the music industry.

"Its kinda sad I'm the laughin' stock of the neighborhood You would think that I'd be movin' on But I'm a sucker like I said ****ed up in the head, not!!" - He is sad that everybody laughs at him and that everybody thinks he should move on and try another career cause he is a failed musician. But he has had enough of it, he doesn't give up and keeps being a musician but not a sucker anymore and not ****ed up anymore!

"Maybe she just made a mistake I should give her a break My heart will ache either way Hey, what the hell Watcha want me to say I wont lie that I cant deny"

He is forgiving the music industry for playing with him cause it is all a thing of the past.

"I did it all for the nookie C'mon The nookie C'mon So you can take that cookie And stick it up your, yeah!! Stick it up your, yeah!! Stick it up your, yeah!!" - This is where the emotions started getting really intense and I started crying. So deep and meaningful. Nookie is a slang term for sex, and sex is fun. Cookie is often given to dogs as a reward after they do what their owners tell them to do. What he is saying is that he started making music for fun and for the sake of music instead of for the cookie because its humiliating to work for such little rewards and being owned like a dog.

That's all for now, TO BE CONTINUED
