    O.K. maybe this song means nothing but being the pondering person I am, I am happier believeing it has meaning.
    So this is what I came up with, nothing carved in stone but here's what I pondered....
    In my opinion the song must be of sexual meaning...

    Is there a perfect way of holding your baby?
    (Could be refering to another or his male counter part. Mabey implying no matter which way he holds her it's still obscene)(either way)

    Vicinity of Obscenity in Your Eyes
    (Within her eyes there is somethng obscene, when he is with her he knows it's obscene)

    Do we all learn Defeat, from the whores with bad feet
    (A possible Subjecting of yourself to deafeat, when you sleep with whores),
    the bad feet thing (where they lead you is bad) (the defeat again)

    Beat the Meat (Getting off)
    Treat the Feet (follow, give into where your being lead)
    To the sweet milky seat (the seat of temptation, the end result gratification, yet something remains obscene in this gratification he is implying)

    Banana (the penis)

    Terrecotta Pie (think of the feeling and the structure of terrecotta, cold, hard, breakable,(a whore no feelings connected to the sex) pie (the vagina)So the terrecotta pie is the vagina of a whore.

    The obsenity is even though he knows she is a whore and the sex will have no meaning, it still gratifies him to the sweet milky seat getting off, beating the meat and the milky seat climax. So he let her lead him there, yet in a sence feels defeated because he gave into his temptation.

    Thats just my take.. doesn't mean it's carved in stone. Had fun pondering on that one.

    Actually no, its not about sex. This is one of the songs that Serj wrote just for fun. It has absolutely NO MEANING. Serj wrote it and the rest of the band liked, so they put it on Hypnotize. Daron himself states this in an interview on www.soadfans.com

    It's just that what a foot fetisch guy would do with a whore. Would take care of the whores feet, while beating his meat. Milky seat means the cum he lands on her feet.

    Just a lot of words that are near obscene, but not really. Do you see an obscene meaning behind it? Liar! Vicinity of Obscenity is in your eyes!

    Banana is a triplet. Terracotta is 16ths. You say those words to keep the beat. Beat your meat oops I mean drums.

    The rest of it is just dirty talk.

    I think this is making fun of the sexual relation controversy of bill clinton.
    The beginning of him saying liar is him lying about it, and the rest of the song is the experience of it

    well to the guy marked as #3 you might wanna take a look at the lyric sheet because no where in there does it say "this may require for you to hold still, baby" just saying. i love this song just for the fact listening to it in a average way sounds so fucking weird which is just what serj is hes crazy and thats why i love this guy, but i would like to know if there ever is a meaning to it.

    I'm not sure if this has been pointed out before, or if it is just a massive coincidence but in the film "Candyman" there's a scene where it says "To The Sweet" on a cubicle door, and then an arrow pointing to a white toilet, the "milky seat"?

    To me it seems like a coincidence as there are not really any other references to this film in the song but it's still worth pointing out.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG6bW7_-CRQ 2:35, you can see what I mean.

    i really think their talking about how messed up the government is/ plus society in general.. and if theres a right way to govern people since our society we have all grown up to know makes us the way we are like the line "is there e a right way to hold you baby". or "the whores with bad feet).. any one agree

    No it literally does not have a hidden meaning... They just did it for fun, Daron says in one of the interviews. Also, 'beat the meat' simply means, 'beat the meat'. Look at Serj playing it live, he 'air wanks' when singing that part xD

    This song is obviously talking about anal. Banana symbolizes a phallus. Terracotta is a type of mud. Pie normally refers to vagina, but a "terracotta" pie (like saying mud pie) definitely refers to an ass. The "milky seat" part of the chorus verifies that , because it is referring to their "milky" (cum-filled) ass. Therefore, it is quite obviously referring to anal sex. As for the chorus, it is talking about prostitutes. "Beat the meat, treat the feet to the milky seat" is referring to fucking them, then kicking their "milky" ass out. I'm sure it has other meaning along with it, but the fact that everyone thinks "terracotta pie" refers to vagina is just stupid.

    This song is definitely about some hardcore sex.
    Lets start from the beginning; The Title

    Vicinity of Obscenity: literally means in the area of being obscene [in her eyes].

    Liar! – Don’t BS you know you like it! LIAR!

    Banana: is reference to the penis.

    Terracotta Pie: according to the Urban dictionary; is having anal sex with your partner and cumming into the anus - the cum mixes with poop and spills or bubbles out of the butt; Ladies & Gentlemen -The Terracotta Pie.

    That’s pretty f’ing obscene to me.

    Ok so does saying banana multiple times imply multiple bananas? Anal gangbang with a terracotta pie finish; too obscene for you? ... LIAR!

    Is there a perfect way of holding you baby? (Liar): he’s showing concern for the poor girl he wants her to be comfortable, but she’s resisting, so she says “No” – I think by calling her a “LIAR!”- “NO” is implied here. Which plays straight into chorus.

    Vicinity of obscenity in your eyes – Why did she say ‘no’?...oh because a terracotta pie is too much for her. But he’s being persistent - like a kid - he keeps repeating it to her; TERRACOTTA PIE! BANANA BANANA BANANA!

    Do we all learn defeat from the whores with bad feet?: Rhetorical question, maybe. Or maybe he means, learning to defeat the urge to finally get to TERRACOTTA PIE. 'The only way I can ever terracotta pie someone is to get a whore'
    With bad feet implies the girl has to be veteran ‘street walker’ to be down for this. But ‘hey’ TERRACOTTA PIE!

    Beat the meat (beat the meat); he’s trying to talk himself out of it. Aloud and subconsciously.

    Treat the feet: the whore gets treated to…
    To the sweet, milky seat: Milky seat or cummy ass? Same thing right?... ‘SWEET’

    I could be way off but it all made sense once i got the terracotta pie definition...

    I translated it into french then back to english and it makes even less sense although it would sound so fucking funny if they sang it in french or spanish

    Perhaps what soad are trying to do is play off of the insanity in the world, and making a totally off the wall song simply because the masses will try to find hidden meanings when there are none present.

    The title says it all
    and the song part that goes (from the whores with bad feet) cause when you have a horse you ride it and see if it has bad feet the way he rides a whore and beat the meat as in beat the meat.
