What about this one: Not speaking in metaphors here or at least not in "out-there" or "stretch-of-thought" but rather taking it as something you think about visually and in direct correlation with what the words are saying. If we think of it this way then we could say that it is about a man cheating on somebody/somebody cheating on their spouse (or what have you) with him. "You're just an object to me" - The hooker is nothing to him but an object "I'd like to get to know you better" - I wanna be inside of you sexxxing you up (laymen terms of course) Saying paste in the next line in order to keep the idea of it being an almost inanimate object, following immediately and not in just the same verse but the same line that he/she is an object. "Just a piece of meat" and "I am a butcher" all point to how this particular hooker or person is just an object and that he is so detached from him/her ("it") that he cares not what happens to them/it after he is done (they are sold) (alternatively what I said about the first two-three lines could be put in conjunction with the serial or psychopathic killer theory [the first of mine to be honest]) "Why sit in the shade?" - in the car doing their thing "Drink what we made from a lover's cup" - drinking wine or champagne (a drink treated typically as a "special occasion" between lovers or dating peoples) and "lover's cup" meaning that it is the significant other of the person saying it so it is a lover's cup and not just a regular cup (most likely a wine glass or the like) Putting it together asking why he brought this cup because it may be that it is bringing about memories of him and his lover "Dreams don't always come when you fall asleep" - Her dreams of prestige or his dreams of a happy and wondrous marriage "I'm gonna do something wrong" - Cheating or getting the hooker and sharing the cup etc "Nobody's gonna like it" - His wife/children/family/God/Church/Friends & etc. "But I've got my pride, and my time isn't free, you're just an object to me." - Nigga needs to get laid and he has to get back home to his wife or whatever. That or flip this Entire interpretation to where instead it is from a prostitutes mentality, but that seems ever a further stretch than this one. "I feel a little better" - Got laid but still feels bad about his marriage and the fact of his cheating ways "They found your sweater" - The wife or family found the sweater. Sorry if that was a little hard to follow but you know I writing it on the fly. All this was another way to look at it. Really, if you know anything about music and artists and what they are trying to say and how and us the on lookers and amateur interpreters of such artists, you must know that you HAVE to look at the album in it's entirety. With that being said it is a little hard for me to believe that this truly about a murderer, because the rest of the songs are, in my views, about degrading, then coming together, reproducing, and love. Friends (Friends), Lust (Big Blue Balloon), then fuck buddies (Object), then trying to feel for one another (Learning to Love), then more sexual frustration and degrading (My Own Bare Hands-here the man winds), then spiritually together (Spirit Walker), then argumentative-loving type deal (Shamemaker-Here the man lost), then infatuation and doting love remembering how it was (Sweetheart in the Summer), then sweet nothing to bed-time/baby (Lullaby), then unity (Women and Man-trying to make the relationship work), and finally a happy ending after a lovely party (Your Party). Blah, sorry that was long it's just my ideas on the whole thing. Erm, Fiesta.. I dunno Fiesta s just cool hahaha. |
