| Katy Perry – I Kissed a Girl Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| When I first heard this song, I thought it was about a bi-curious gay man singing about kissing a girl. "I kissed a girl just to try it, hope my boyfriend don't mind it." Then when I heard the line "Us girls we are so magical," I was like "WTF, THAT'S A WOMAN!?!?" Bottom line: Katy Perry sings like a dude. | |
| Lady GaGa – Hair Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Basically, her parents don't want her to look like an idiot in public, so she's going to rebel and put on ridiculous hairdos and outfits so that friends "invite [her] to their parties." And she's twenty-five years-old. | |
| Siouxsie and the Banshees – Peek-A-Boo Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is a graphic description of a pornographic scene and the secrecy of what goes on behind the scene. "Creeping up the backstairs Slinking into dark stalls Shapeless and slumped in bathchairs Furtive eyes peep out of holes" The first few lines paint a picture of where these scenes take place in black market porn industries with the sex trade. Words like "creeping," "slinking," "dark," and "shapeless" convey the secrecy involved. Still, the consumers are blind about the exploitation and torture that porn actors go through, often to relieve drug addiction. Also implied in the line "into the face of the beguiled," with the beguiled being the consumers. Most men are attracted to visual pornography and look at it often, which is a sad circumstance because porn industries take advantage of the demand of men's sexual desires and can exploit the actors without limit. Porn is a substance--but it's a substance that involves human beings. It's hard to understand that concept when these men are viewing the porn, because they are trying to satisfy something that is, to the core, natural. I think this song was written in the early nineteen-nineties. Since then, the porn market has flourished due to the expansion of the Internet. I believe that this song is more important now than ever, because anyone can google all kinds of porn at anytime. It's ruined the nature of our sexuality to have instant gratification in sex because men have learned to treat sex as something that should be instant and expected in a relationship. It's had sad effects on men and women in different ways. Indeed, as sex has become more artificial, relationships and human connections have too. I'm glad Siouxsie and the Banshees have addressed these issues in a mature way. Very few artists do. |

Very insightful comments! I love how Siouxsie and the Banshees can draw from history and society, develop carefully constructed social commentary, and make catchy music out of it! They are definitely one of my favorite bands because of that. |

| Siouxsie and the Banshees – Halloween Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
One of my favorites but very creepy. When I listen to this song, i think of a serial killer who is disguised in a costume and targets unattended children on Halloween night. What's the motivation? Envy. The serial killer has to deal with a dark past and a wretched life and longs for the carefree days when he/she was a child and had no responsibility. In order to feel powerful and avenged, the serial killer goes after the innocent and the vulnerable (the bitter and the sweet). The serial killer might even lure the children with candy (trick or treat). Compare with another siouxsie song: Candyman |
