| Jack Off Jill – Horrible Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Did I really not comment on this?! Okay, so. To me it's very much about an eating disorder, though it could be just 'cause of my own history, but if you break the lyrics apart a little... "I can't exist anymore Till I destroy you" Anorexia takes over, so YOU don't exist, just some little shell, skin stretched over bone, and until you destroy anorexia completely, you won't be whole. Or even, from the anorexics point of view, she won't be whole until the fat is gone. "Ingesting flesh and bone Makes me a cannibal" When you don't eat, you go into starvation mode, you're destroying your own system. "Sucking on colorforms Becoming see through" See through. Skinny. Enough said. "I do not feel wrong Am I incurable" You feel that starving is RIGHT you ARE too fat. You are never going to be cured, it's a trap. "Then they can't take you Away from me" The doctors want to cure you. But anorexia is a PART of you. She comes back to it, and then goes or am I criminal, fucking horrible. It's like, I know I need to starve, wait this is dumb, back and forth. To me, the meaning fits... |

| Jack Off Jill – Strawberry Gashes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The first bit about the candle, I always view it as either she's fading away, see through by the light of the flame. The poison running though her is blood, that's how she sees it, the more out the better. I feel like it works that there's two voices, the self injury speaks as her own voice. She lies to herself, she isn't better. She will die. This song was my first JoJ, and I'm addicted now. I love it. |

| Jack Off Jill – Hypocrite Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| So, I feel like the first few are easy to figure out. Then the fifth is where I think it can be different meanings. My first thought was that the tracks are self injury scars. Little strawberry gashes. But the only relation is that I guess... drugs are harming the self too, but is it really hypocritical to not do drugs and cut yourself? It seems like my idea is off. Anyone have ideas? | |

| @MusicIsLife4977 - I don't think so, somehow. I've read the satanic bible, and self hatred and feeling "horrible" doesn't fit with the idea of being a God yourself. :P | |

My own view of it comes from my life I suppose, but I always related this song to anorexia. To me, he describes a perfect girl, an angel with skin stretched out on bones, thin like a feather - her perfect beautiful world. You cannot look her in the eye. She is not real. And you aren't "special", or skinny enough. You buy into the societal pressure to be skinny, so you're a creep; a weirdo. It hurts to starve, but the control, the perfect body and soul anorexia promises you is enough. It'll make you special, and it'll make a love interest take notice. The running can be compulsive exercisers. |
