| Magic Dirt – Rabbit with Fangs Lyrics

i'm not quite sure what the reference to William Wilson is. But I have a suspicion that the song in general is a rant about the existence of serial killers (i got a sick killer) and other antisocial dangerous people in society, posing as 'normal' people and making society dangerous for everybody else (i got a hairstylist). I think the point where "he knows he got it wrong" is the crux of the issue. This is one singer who is aware of the existence of these 'mother killers' all around her ready to strike, and she's striking back with a bit of good old fashioned caution, cynicism and even aggression. Definitely a case of if you touch me, i'll kill you. She's definitely keeping tabs on everyone (she's collecting cold men and sick killers in 'jars'). Perhaps the reference to Kurt Cobain is an idea of what she'll do to them if they're not careful (take them out with a shotgun for instance)! She'll take any measure she has to, to keep herself safe. This seems to be the darkest song from Adalita ever. She wants to get the message out that she knows there are sick and depraved minds out there, and that she's not just a pretty face (white rabbit) they can take advantage of- she has fangs and real world credentials and she's not afraid to use them. Quite a fun song too, in a twisted way. |

| Magic Dirt – Redhead Lyrics

hey indie gofar05, you should be proud. redheads are so underestimated and sidelined. i have a suggestion of what the lyrics mean. Perhaps its a kind of song about a redhead who is more melancholy than the rest of her friends with non-red hair, a song about being rejected on appearances alone before being able to show anyone her true side. Hence the words, "don't you know that" and "red-head cat". "Cat" kind of suggests how she's being dehumanised by those rejecting her, who obviously "don't know her". Lastly I think there's a small triumph in the last bit of the lyric- a sarcastic "don't you know that (girl)?" Seems as if she's just got famous for some reason, had some success, and now they're kind of surprised and wishing they'd known her all along. The "edge of white" and "pink dyno-mite" might be a reference to that moment on the horizon when you get noticed for some reason, and the "demons that possess your kiss" could be a reference to the two-faced people who take you for granted and then show selfish motives for knowing you (wish they'd known you all along) when you do get famous. i think its basically a song about how redheads rule, how the less common people in society will have their day in the sun and be able to look down on those who wronged them when they were small and unknown. what d ya reckon? |
