In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Amok
Here I hide the severed head I keep alive
I've got bruises, lies, here's my pride......
Looking down the barrel on my 45
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on... Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
You don't have to look at the mantelpiece
When you're poking the fire
I'm young, dumb, full of fun
I feed my fire, my fist, and come
The light of my life is a switchblade knife
This gun becomes my lawful wife
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on... Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Stick me
I wanna kill, I wanna cut, hurt, shuttup
I wanna feel myself denied
I wanna feel this noose grow tight
I will defile and taste the bile
I will crawl that crooked mile
To caress your stubborn head
With an ounce of flamming lead
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on an' Fuck me
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on... Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you.......
Here I hide the severed head I keep alive
I've got bruises, lies, here's my pride......
Looking down the barrel on my 45
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on... Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
You don't have to look at the mantelpiece
When you're poking the fire
I'm young, dumb, full of fun
I feed my fire, my fist, and come
The light of my life is a switchblade knife
This gun becomes my lawful wife
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on... Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Stick me
I wanna kill, I wanna cut, hurt, shuttup
I wanna feel myself denied
I wanna feel this noose grow tight
I will defile and taste the bile
I will crawl that crooked mile
To caress your stubborn head
With an ounce of flamming lead
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on an' Fuck me
Stick me bleed me don't say you need me
Hit me suck me come on... Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me
Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck me
Fuck me

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I think this song is about Sadomasochism taken to a whole new level.
A "new level". ;)
I love the "sadomasochism" bit. It is possible, but not likely. Sadomasochists do what they do for the attention. Not necessarily "positive" attention, but attention. This song is not about getting attention.
"The light of my life is a switchblade knife"-Travis Bickle got nothin' on them.
"You don't have to look at the mantelpiece <br /> When you're poking the fire".<br /> Good to know,lol.
...an awsome song yet really creepy...
this song is cool.
laughs This is one of the songs my boyfriend sings to me sometimes! It's an awesome song, I don't find it creepy when KMFDM sing it, I just find it creepy when my boyfriend sings it! LOL! Hmm... I wonder what this song really means though? I'm not one for analysing song lyrics, I'll have to see what my boyfriend (who is ALWAYS analysing KMFDM lyrics) thinks this is about ^_^
It's sort of mocking the desperate youth, those who lust and strive for power, money, and yes, sex. True KMFDM style, mockery!
I'd agree about it being about today's youth, as in they just want to fuck and not look at the consequences.
The repetition of "fuck me" gets slightly annoying after awhile, therefore it's not really high on my list of favorite KMFDM songs. Although, yes, it appears this song is about ignorant teens and their wanting of nothing but mindless sex.
Okay, when I first heard the song, I just thought it was about sex... but after reading the lyrics, I think it's more about violence. Both sexual violence (rape) and simply murder.
