Faith No More: Epic Meaning

Song Released: 1989

Epic Lyrics

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it’s like walking on glass
It’s so cool, it’s so hip, it’s alright
It’s so groovy,...

   I see sense in a lot of the explanations ive read. "It" actually could b substituted with lots of things if thoughtt aboutt. It's heresay, but i heard it possibly has to do with some type of gay scat sex act ,or something along those lines. Possibly torture/rape or death even. Snuff or sexual asphyxiation/strangulation I don't know much at all about that kinda sex, but people are certainly doing such. I'm not intending to pass judgment or be negative. I heard the rumor and I'm curious. Anybody really know?

   I think it is about drugs (cocaine, heroin). "you want it all..." and "its in your face but you cant grab it.." etc..

   God damit your all wrong in some way. The song is about pussy
   what is it, thats it. listen closely it sounds like what is it PUSSY
   u can lay down on it and do it some more
   most of the time if asked mike patton will not tell the intervewer the real meaning of lyrics he will probly just joke about the meaning or lie. At the end of the day the song is what you make of it but its good to know its real meaning PUSSY lol

   I'm not to sure about meanings of songs but my first thought when I heard the song was that it was about a rape. like it's crying and bleeding and you lay down on it and do it some more and Its a sin... you want it all but you can't have it because it is illegal and very wrong.
   I know its a bit extreme for the song to be about rape but if you look at the lyrics it makes sense.

    It's just about people not being able to achieve what they want.

    I think it's about sex because everything he says is somehow related to sex. "It's in your face but you can't grab it" meaning sex is everywhere, just that you can't have it. Also, "You can never understand it because it happens so fast, and it feels so good..." would be about once you get the orgasm and it's over. Then he uses a whole bunch of other similies to represent sex.

    This song is just like my life!!
    I love this boy but I don't want him to find out because we are friends and I don't want to ruin our friendship if he doesn't love me back. I try my hardest to hide my feelings from him but,
    "my eyes give me away,
    even though my lips don't say.."
    
    "should be so easy,
    but my head gets in the way,
    all the things that I want to tell you."
    If I didn't worry so much about it ruining our friendship, it would be so easy
    
    "and I wonder if you know that's how I feel about you.
    i hope you know.."
    As much as I don't want him to know, all I want more than anything is for us to be together.
    
    "'cause I have so much love for you.
    do with it what you will..
    and I have nothing more to prove,
    say to me what you will..
    say, say it again."
    But, I have now been hiding my feelings for almost a year, and now I just want him to know how I feel and I don't care what he thinks because I will always love him.
    
    And that's about it, but this song contains all my feelings for him. In fact, I annonamoysly e-mailed this song to him because I so desperatly wanted him to know how I feel without him knowing it was me.
