No Picture Zane Rhythm Player	#1 by Zane Haight at Sep 16, 1983 at 2:59 PM EST
	No, this song and the entire album IS based on the concept of the life and death of a serial killer who inevitably wishes for forgiveness for his sins, only to find out no one is left to love him.

No Picture jester Average	#2 by jester rage at Dec 20, 1991 at 12:53 PM EST
	Ahhh people the mening is obvious! This song is about child abuse and wife abuse. It told from the point of view of the abuser in the family, the father, and how he belives that he is raising his family well [raise the kids good beat the kids good]. He also despises the outside people interfering with his abuse and attempting to stop him [puch the camera deeper/we dont want no strangers]

	Seems kind of like the underlying mesage is sort of about the commercialisation of sex. (Push the Camera Deeper referring to porn). "Fill the hole strip the soul" kind of suggests like, they abuse their bodies and become less of a person

No Picture Ian Average	#4 by Ian Slay at May 13, 2003 at 12:43 PM EST
	In case you didn't know, the album In Absentia is about a serial killer. In this song PT tries to convey what life is like through a serial killers' eyes.

No Picture Tommy The Cat Lead Player	#5 by Tommy The Cat at Feb 9, 2006 at 5:13 PM EST
	I love the feel and tone of this song even though the lyrics are very distructive.
