This song is talking about how small the "Vicinity of Obscenity" is. Men are programmed to have certain views on women. Whether it's finding a dirty magazine on the playground as a kid, or Paris Hilton trying to sell you a sex-burger during a Teletubbies commercial. No matter where you look, obscenity is "in your eye." It's unavoidable and in your face, just like the guitar and vocal styles when they scream, "Banana banana terra cotta..." The food references are symbolizing genitals (Banana = penis, pie = vagina).
Lead singer Serj Tankian wrote the lyric for this one and composed the music with guitarist Daron Malakian. It was released on their fifth album, Hypnotize, the companion to Mezmerize, issued six months earlier. Both albums did very well, going to #1 in America, but the band took a break the following year and didn't return until 2010. They had no problem performing together, but couldn't come to terms on an album and didn't release another.
