Switchblade Symphony – Ride Lyrics 19 years ago
why doesn't switchblade have more comments? :(

this song is my favourite by them. it makes me cry. i think the lyrics are pretty self-explanitory.

i think it goes like thissss.

i'm running out of air
there's a carnival in the graveyard tonight
where the clouds are full of poison
and they fall on my skin, making tiny holes
erasing my legacy
nothing hurts
nothing's right
i am nothing
turning to the left, i get on a ride
and the ride is dark
and they (i?) drive nazi cars (sounds kinda like "and i try not to see the colours" too)
and i am no longer afraid
because i've held on so tight (i'm burning)
that i've crushed them (i'm fucking burning)
i've crushed them
it covers me
and i can only find comfort in the darkness
(i'm burning)
where i am no longer your misanthropic majesty
(oh my god help me i'm burning)
with one match
and only one chance to burn
(i'm fucking burning, i'm burning)
only one.
(i'm burning please, i'm burning)
(dead girls dance they burn and twirl
witch hunt witch cunt burn this girl)

i think it's about a nightmare. she said she writes about dreams a lot, like band-aid covers the bullet hole (scarling.).

i've always thought it was about manson as well, once i read the long hard road out of hell it kind of clicked and seemed really obvious, especially since i had already heard it was about him before. a couple people said he didn't say anything negative about jessicka in his book? he called her a groupie and mocked her for sleeping with freddy the wheel. i'd call that negative.

but yeah, they have since made up. i love both of them, fascinating people.

Jack Off Jill – Cockroach Waltz Lyrics 19 years ago
like one of the previous posters, i think it's about incest. her father. she says that she dropped her last name, fodera, because she isn't fond of the person it belongs to. and these lines:

we hide in the cupboards
and under the stairs

see something that's nothing
and then start to cry

you made me
i am a part of you

i liked you once (until you started abusing me, maybe?)

we look like each other
sew you to my chest
then say that i won't
faithfully, as i fuck all the rest (the whole thing, like how fathers get all protective of their "little girls" when they get old enough to start having boyfriends and stuff. and the possessiveness that comes with incest, "no-one will ever love you as much as i do, and i'm going to prove it to you by having sex with you." but then the girl rebels and has lots of casual sex with people she doesn't care about because she's so messed up from the abuse.)

i don't want this
i want this
i don't want this
i want this (understandable confusion...)

no clue what it means, but i love this line anyway:

help-me-shut-out-pain-ful-world
when-in-sect-boy-be-comes-a-girl

this line. oh dear.

cockroach will rise, will crash, will burn

now this is probably totally weird of me to think. but has anyone read marilyn manson's autobiography, the long hard road out of hell? as you probably know if you're a spooky kids/jack off jill fan, manson was pretty involved with the beginning of jessicka's band. and in that book, he catches his grandfather masturbating, "i turned my head away, too late to keep from imagining the white pus squeezing out of his yellow, wrinkled penis like the insides of a squashed cockroach." ok, TECHNICALLY he's comparing the SEMEN to cockroach GUTS, not the actual penis to a cockroach. but still, it makes me think of that, "cockroach will rise" and i'll leave that to your imagination...and then whole situation blows up, "crashes, burns." like that other line, see something that's nothing/and then start to cry. like a family member maybe saw something suspicous and they tried to convince themselves it was nothing.



anyway. it's a great song, one of their best.
