| Lou Reed – Coney Island Baby Lyrics

I think this song is about his journey from a confused teen who was subjected to multiple electro-shock therapies in his youth for his homosexual tendencies, and his journey trying to figure out how to be whole again. After finding his own "peculiar" sense of love and allowing himself to be gloriously happy with it, he feels like a human again. The end bit when he dedicates the song to Lou and Rachel is what makes me feel this way. Rachel was Lou's transsexual companion for a long time, and she influenced him as a person and his music very significantly. |

I get the feeling that their dad molested one or both of them in childhood. They sing a lot about father figures, like in Werewolf, and it really shows in their lyrics. |

I'd love you to go listen to their newest album and then go defend yourself again. Everyone is entitled to interpretations, but I will say yours is stupid simply because it sounds like a Taylor Swift song. |
