Some of my favorite UM lyrics

All in Time is the definitive UM song Bayliss lyrics-wise. Simultaneously sexually inexperienced bragging coupled with heart on the sleeve emo admissions
“Well I’m well endowed
With all the doubt I need”
Ultimately it’s about the start of a new relationship and he’s letting her know he’s a sadboi so she’s gotta fuck with that
“I could tell you all about what’s next
If I could make it clear
Or to complicate the text
Would you hear that
I tell you bout my cause
Cause you know about my flaws
Til you got no reason why
I tell you about my head
Cause you know what instead
I tell you when your answer comes in time”
August is a break up song.
Time will compensate her = time heals all wounds

I know it changes from time to time, but what exactly is being said during the vocals, before the usual jam spot in Hangover.
sorry to bump this old thread, but i really couldn’t help thinking that a lot of UM songs have pretty cryptic titles or meanings. i’m not necessarily complaining, some of them are my favorites, though it can lead to a bit of disconnect sometimes, or even just an inability to remember the name of the fucking song. have they ever mentioned precisely the reason behind titles like “Mantis” or “Wife Soup” or “Der Bluten Kat”?
(this isn’t the first time i thought of this but i really couldn’t let it go today for some reason… was driving my kid back and forth to swim class and i play him a lot of rock music in the car, and had on 3/2/17)
Is a reference to the drum fill that opens the song.
Mantis’ first riff “moves like a mantis walks.”
Kinda like how JaJunk is named after the main riff. JaJunk junk junk…

I remember seeing a video about how Wife Soup came from a book one of them were reading or something along those lines. I know that’s not exactly helpful but that was the gist
