| John Frusciante – A Firm Kick Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
This is possibly my favourite JF song. I have to agree with some of the comments that have been posted previously in relation to wanting to tell someone something but you never get around to it. I think John's exploration of this idea may be broader than just this. It seems to me that the main idea of the song is to send the message that some people try to be too perfect, i.e. perfectionists or even people who are obsessive-compulsive. The line "sometimes I have to get things right" comes to mind here. The line following this one, "I never meant what I said to you" might have something to do with him wanting to say something important, but then backing out by saying something unimportant. He also says, "I never say what I intend to".
I think "A firm kick in the pants" is what you need so that you are reminded to say that important thing, rather than 'prettying up your speech' (i.e. just say whatever you need to say in its raw form). |

I think John is having a conversation with himself (along with Josh's vocals) which keeps swinging from one idea to a second. The first idea perhaps is that he thinks others will be better off if he "omits himself" ("all my rights are everyone's enemy"). Then the second idea is that, no, "never now we need the other", i.e. people are better off if they relate to others. Then he introduces a little message - that you shouldn't fake who you are. (?) |

Perhaps Another Brick in the Wall is just saying that communism actually makes a dystopia (like in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley). The underlying meaning could be that the band support capitalism. |

I just want to say to everyone who whinges about the seemingly gay lyrics that they are just stupid homophobes who are clearly not comfortable with their sexuality. As has been covered numerous times, the official meaning of the song basically relates to a guy getting drunk and having some crazy thoughts go through his mind. |
