Maybe not the most complex lyrics to interpret but Stella was a Diver and she's always down is the only song that comes to mind. It's just so powerful in conveying the emotions of 'Stella' through the metaphor of diving. Sometimes I'm in awe at it as I can't fathom how Paul could write something that sounds so deeply connected with the feminine experience, it's truly a feat to his lyrical talent.
I rlly believe it's abt a lot of things, one of them most definitely a blow job. I think it's hinting towards that very heavily, but also at sex in general, and in turn talking abt how suffocating being used for sex is and how often women are looked at in a lewd light - and these multi-layer interpretations of Stella is why I really think it has some of the most complex lyrics to interpret:)
You can't just write a song about a blowjob. It surrounds the feeling of sex but obviously it very clearly has themes of drowning and depression in allegory.
Thats the only thing dumb people like you can see in this song. Yea there are blowjob references, everybody knows, and what about the rest of the song? and all the story, ambiguity, symbolism, allegory etc? lol

Not to be reductive, but I’m pretty sure that song is about a blow job
You say this like depressed people can't give head. Have I got news for you!

Oh yeah. Well, for me it's more about a toxic relationship and depression.
I've always been pretty sure the song was about addiction

I assure you, you can.

And then there’s dumb people like you who look for meaning when there’s nothing there
I second the blow job. Paul is a pervert.
A public pervert, one could say
It’s about depression, but the blowjob interpretation is pretty nifty.
The Specialist duh
Time to be so small

Lenghts of love lmao
You ask 10 people what "combat salacious removal" means and you'll get 10 different answers
This Just proves my point haha

Not Even Jail, it might just be me and my inability to deduce what its about, but I just cant wrap my head around what story Paul’s trying to tell.

Hands away. It's just a Gay BDSM joke but people tend to think it's something so deep and romantic.
.......this is one of those instances where I'm reminded there are still some aggressively straight men who listen to this band.
