| I totally agree with you, thank you so much for setting people straight about the bra size thing. | |

| You're right, someone needs to change that. | |

| Actually, Peaches still has small breasts. And she has pretty much already defined herself sexually, it's not like she's still a mentally developing teenager. | |

Wait, are you saying that it's only within these few years/decades that women have wanted to take time to make themselves look good? When was there a time when we didn't? And when was there a time when men didn't want to try to make themselves look good too? So, what? Even if we try to look nice, we still look like shit? What are you saying? And thanks for putting "mine" in parentheses there. If you hadn't, I might've thought you were writing as someone else. You know what, I'm a feminist. I do my hair and I wear makeup, does that make me any less of a feminist? Don't stereotype feminism like it's some club. |

| Metric – Torture Me Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| God, thank you so much for saying this. I was just looking at "Too Little Too Late" and no one mentioned BDSM there either. I felt like everyone was trying to avoid the issue. Like yeah, it's a song and a lot might be metaphor, but come on, state the obvious. However, I don't really agree with the stuff about physical pain becoming a release for emotional pain. I think this song might be about that, but I think it's separate from the BDSM theme. Like they both exist within the song but on different levels. | |

I didn't think "carpeted hallway" was sexual at all, but I definitely did think all the lines about tying her hands were. I like it because it sounds sexual but it also sounds very confessional ("tie my right hand to the bible"...). In general, the act makes you very vulnerable and open, both physically and emotionally. She trusts this person. To me it sounds like she loves someone who has always been very self conscious, someone who has always tried so hard to fit in and has always come up short. The lines "You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray" and "You can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway" sound so extreme. They sound like they represent the extremes someone would go through to change themselves to fit in or stand out, and it sounds like she'd support all of that, even if she thinks they're already perfect. Maybe she thinks that eventually they'll believe her when she says that, as long as she's just patient. The part about taking a live wire into the bath and taking their friends on a tour of the bathroom is sort of the same. In the first part, she's talking about the destructive things this person does (like self-harm). She might not approve, but she cares. The bedroom part (Unless it's "can't", not "can") sounds like how she doesn't even care if people know about their sex life (That may or may not include bondage-see my first paragraph), so he can brag and impress his friends if he wants, as long as he feels ok with himself. I say "brag" and "impress" because the laughing part seems like such an offhand, thoughtless thing to do. Like, imagine a guy laughing with his friends about some girl he had sex with. The motel thing is interesting because it doubles as the classic, sordid love affair setting, and also as a metaphor for leaving all that baggage behind and just being able to be themselves with eachother. I love this song, and I especially love the lines "Place your swollen lips on mine", "Sure for the first time you're wearing the right clothes/Now take them off", and all the lines about tying her hands. |
