| Eagles of Death Metal – I'm Your Torpedo Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Badass indeed. How badass? When I heard this it reminded of when I was a kid and first saw 'Welcome to the Jungle' on MTV. Total gooseflesh. My God I hope Jesse Hughes keeps cutting records | |

I think the song's about getting over someone. When she leaves he feels his need and mourns the "goodbye windows" while she tells him "no strings." Time passes, he realizes he's over it when he bumps into her and she's kind ("consolation for the old wound now forgotten"). "Yellow tigers" - the tables have now turned and she wants him. But he recalls the "goodbye windows" and now to him "she's just [window] dressing," ie deceptively attractive and in the past. The last verse ends with "I'll sleep..." instead of "I'll wait." He accepts his situation and is free. Then at 4:37 GB rips the beat you could wreck a ferrari to. |

I'm hearing ambivalence, resolve. Definitely opens "Want you to stay in a subtle way/like you(re) walking again all on me." She's drawn to some guy who's bad news. "...[D]ark places/what a simple web we weave" -- she's aware of the troubled dynamic and her part in it. Yet she's ambivalent -- Karen O seems to alternate "We've SEEN the nightmare of the lies" with "we SEEK the nightmare of the lies." "The Beast..that's coming in" could be the joker she's with or her stronger, more resilient self. Then a rallying cry to that stronger self (know/oh my soul, a hundred years old, prison queen, iron heart, more alive). Question is: why does she "want [him] to stay" in the first place -- why seek out a nightmare? Because life is dark and boring anyways. Instead of fearing it or resenting it, you rally; you invite chances to live it and summon from within your soul to handle it directly. |
