| Skinny Puppy – Testure Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Such a sad song, but with a great melody. It paints such a vivid picture. | |
| The Cure – The Walk Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I agree, visiting time reminds me of a mental institution. The Japanese Baby is a metaphor for crying. | |
| Siouxsie and the Banshees – Dazzle Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The first word should be "swallowing". I remember reading that Siouxsie said this song is about "GREED & DISEASE". I always loved the line "index and thumb Pull some strings, let them sing" It means two things to me. First: you play the Bass by pulling the strings with index and thumb fingers" Secondly: A doctor stitching a wound does it with his index and thumb... .the sing is the scream... |

| This song is obviously about Ian's illness, but it always reminded me of "the Elephant Man". | |
| New Order – The Perfect Kiss Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
A gay song... "Pretending not to see his gun I said let's go out and have some fun" The gun is a penis, same as in the song 1963. |

| New Order – 1963 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
this is agay song, and the gun is a penis. And though he was ashamed that he had took a life" ...............a gay lifestyle. "I used to think of him, he used think of me He told me to close my eyes My gift would be a great surprise I saw tears were in his eyes He never meant to hurt me" It's a man singing about a gay lover who decided to marry a woman. |

| Echo and the Bunnymen – The Cutter Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
First of all the 4th line is wrong, the word come should be give. Secondly is about CIRCUMCISION. "watch the fingers close when the hands are cold" "with sellotape and knives" Both are about cutting the foreskin. So it's about circumcision and his ambivalence towards it. "am i the happy loss will i still recoil when the skin is lost am i the worthy cross will i still be soiled when the dirt is off " There are many metaphors in the song, and it may have more than one meaning, but "the cutter" is about circumcision. I'm surprised no one else saw this, it's so obvious to me. |
