Despite this album being the first to be written without the use of drugs, I believe this song is about the effects of drugs, although it’s from the perspective of a non-user, watching someone else deteriorate due to drugs.
Screw Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape
[Chorus 1]
T-turn, turn the taste in your mouth
T-turn, turn the taste on your tongue
The film on your eyes of the way I've become
[Verse 2]
What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
What do I do when you screw up your face?
What do I do when you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor and keep changing your shape?
[Chorus 2]
J-j-jump, jump right into your mouth
J-j-jump, jump around on your tongue
The film on your eyes of the way I've become
[Outro]
Makes me sick at the way that I try anything in the world
To impress that I'm doing this only for you
This only for you
Only for you
