| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Stranger Than Kindness Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i think this song is about adultery or else a man caught in a desperate loop of picking up quick fixes of prostitutes to drown his sorrows. for starters, the mention of hotels immediately brings to mind sordid affairs and adultery the song itself seems to start at climax ' spilling everything' 'the volcano' aka an 'eruption' and 'soft cold bones below' i think starting the song there is apt because its post sex that guilt and sadness come flooding back the fact that this relationship is sordid, not normal, and that there is something to hide is suggested by the fact that 'keys rain like heavens hair, there is no home there is no bread' they/he is constantly on the move and basically the whole mournful tone. this affair is purely sexual and seen in a negative light its a 'gaunt fruit of passion' and she holds him 'carelessly' without love...trying to initiate more sex 'tells me im dirty' the fact that he is still ‘a stranger to kindness’ at the end, show that this relationship does not satisfy him and leaves him an empty shell.a really haunting song that made me really sad when I read into it |

| i think if it was about a peado it would be 100 times more chilling then it already is. then again i re-read the lyrics. would a paedo really 'lie by your side' ...thankfully i dont know but i do query that reading..although it could easily fit. eugh it makes me sick to even think about it. i really like this song, very powerful, nicks rasps are truly TERRIFYING! | |

he's obsessed with a girl in his class..thinks about her all the time 'you should pay rent in my mind' all he wants to do is figure out if the rumours and eye contact actually mean something (does she like him!?) the thought of her liking him is on his mind constantly and all he wants to do is talk to her and ask her ...he always regrets it the next day when he chickens out and leaves the lesson without stopping to talk to her 'bon soir regret a demain '(something like 'good night,ill regret it tommorow!?) now im completely stuck on what the middle bit means but the last bit..is him screaming in his head 'DO YOU LIKE ME?!?!'..but not having enough courage to just ask her/approach her |
