a D/s relationship in which you count on your partner to help you stay strong and focused...giving up control and losing oneself through the use of pain...nothing matters as much as this detachment from self |

i perceive it as a rehab moment....like he is tuning out his therapists....they are trying to fix him but he tells them that he built himself out of broken parts....he's there because he has to be. but he's not going to let the experience change who he is...he's staying in control...laughing at the therapist's efforts to reach him....thinking of how he could really mess with his head if he wanted to...he seems resigned to get through the program, knowing that he can't continue like he has been...but is just going to let his mind drift through it |

| Nine Inch Nails – March of the Pigs Lyrics

Wow...i loved reading everyone's comments...that's what makes music great is that it can mean different things to different people...i was reading the cop theories...the fan theories...the animal farm theories...the manson theories...and then at the very end the sex theory with the tori amos reference...from the first time i heard the song and read the lyrics, my interpretation has been that it is about sex...in particular...a woman...about how her sex drive (perhaps she threatens him that she will sleep with other men) sends her spiraling into casual sex and how the men are like greedy pigs who want to tear it up ...peel the skin back...watch it come down...pigs watching each other losing their minds (among other things) over it...a gang bang scenario...it seems that at the beginning of the song, the narrator is offering her up...saying...ok fine...if that's what you want, then i'll just help you out with that....then at the second phrase, the voice seems to change to the pigs themselves...there is no love involved...they don't like the look the smell the taste of it....but they still want to watch it come down...shove it up inside surprise lies seems pretty obvious...this behavior makes her hard...it sucks, chews, and bites away the tender parts...the pigs just want to use it and destroy it/her...the narrator is back at the end to sarcastically ask her, doesn't that make you feel better?...but he tells her, everything is alright...i perceive that trent is a very romantic man...who doesn't think that sex without love is particularly fulfilling.... |

| PJ Harvey – We Float Lyrics

I think this is about heroin....he's gone off to score...she is waiting but freaks and goes out to score on her own....she is in a bad part of the city....she thinks about her life and her beauty wasted...her high hopes for him and their life together....and how he is her downfall....how he has always been a criminal....but when the drug hits....they can float and just accept the life they've chosen |

| PJ Harvey – Man-Size Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
to me....this is a commentary on the male pre-occupation with the penis....i think "skinned alive" refers to circumcision....the male examining the penis....sizing it up.....always measuring it....comparing it to others....the parts about the girl friend are typical male bragadoccia....this is all about the male ego....when he gets snubbed by a girl he wants to get her out of his head..."head"....out of both his thoughts...and out of his sexual desire....he does not like to fail in his sexual endeavors and attempts to impress women with his manliness....i think she is making fun of the typical male |

| PJ Harvey – Long Snake Moan Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
For me...this song is about power exchange in a relationship...she wants to drown her lover in sexual pleasure to the point that she is able to absorb his physical power over her and turn it back on him...that's why she says "hear my long snake moan"....this is symbolic of the penis and male physical power...she uses all her "voodoo" to make the exchange happen |

| PJ Harvey – Horses In My Dreams Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
I think this is about her song writing. The horses are her songs which come to her in dreams and bolt out of her. It is a stressful process, like giving birth, and after the song has been born, she is free for a while. She rides the "horse"/song around the world and acheives success, fame, and fortune and she struggles to pull herself free from the stampede of her songs and the pressures of her fame. |

this is definately about brother/sister incest, the resultiing pregnancy, and her decision to commit suicide rather than bring shame on her brother.....i read in one of her bios that this lyric is based on an old folk song/tale.....kate reads a lot and was introduced to a great deal of poetry and lore by her oldest brother, poet/photographer, John Carder Bush! |

she took violin lessons as a child at the insistence of her father....but did not take well to the instrument, though she was said to be proficient at it...this is her take on how irritating the lessons and the instrument were to her....the violin can be pretty squeaky and give you the shivers and quivers when first learning to play....kate at her hilarious best |

"take my shoes off and throw them in the lake and i'll be two steps on the water"......seems to mean that even if that "someone" who is there to help her frees her of her "shoes" (the things that hold her back)....she will still go after them....she can't let go completely.... |

more important than the obvious elvis reference...i think this song refers to fame...being so famous that even after your death, stories are made up about you...people refuse to let you go...i think the wind refers to the rumors that elvis is still alive and always just one step ahead of actually being seen...humorous, but also, kate seeing herself in this situation after her own death.... |
