|
this song is about a anorexic and her problem leads to her death after it gettin so bad she is admitted into medical care i think she is dying in this song,theres an eary tone to this song,alightly ghostly "Mary's surgeon Called me urgent Get down to ward And take...my god! Who would date me in the dark And for this labor I was savoured Tender and braindead It went to my head " But you will look Staring at your face reflected in the fetid water What shadows will it cast today Familiar smells of fresh decay You wish that you could flush yourself away Complicitly leave your mark more refferences to self abuse and death the anorexics thought while in her death bed Mary's running away where we can't find her [in other words shes not running anywhere shes dying] Far away from smells that would remind her Her hometown has burned down It's contagious [ i know some people who have been anorexic and iv nearly become that myself it iss contagious] Lord God, save us [because shes dying] im sorry if that answer is all over the place but you get the just does anyone know what Brand new flavour I can savour andBut you will look Staring at your face reflected in the fetid water What shadows will it cast today means in this song thanks |
