i love how they turn the idea of female sexuality on its head. It's like they speak the unspoken, what girls aren't supposed to say or be explicit, the dirty, messy and even tantalizing without it turning into something objectifying and playing into a fantasy. And in doing that, it turns into something confronting, raw, provoking and ultimately real. And not just this song but in general. So different to "female sexual empowerment" of like the Britneys and whatnot. They're so subversive. There's no other Bikini Kill. <3. Just a thought I had about them today. And I think this song pretty much sums that up, with the grittiness of the words, and descriptions of reality- dirty nails, gaps in teeth, and how they are breaking down of fantasy- "baby boy you can't kill what's f*cking real" and of course explicit sexual references that society would not like very much like "lets wipe cum on our parents bed" as well as the way they sing "yeah" mock(?) tantalizingly. I wish there was a New Radio that played songs like that! The end. |

I agree with Incubus_Babe, to me it describes perfectly the feeling of being really alone. This song seems loaded with so many sad emotions. I used to feel that way all the time when I was depressed. It's really weird how close it describes it, like, I'd be so appreciative of people who were friends but I'd feel so empty like I wouldn't be able to return the love and so I wouldn't want to socialise cuz I'd feel unworthy. And i felt like I'd never be capable of it or give enough but I wanted to. I also agree that it is much easier to hate than love...or it used to be for me and I'd hate anything to do with love. (i still do when i'm upset lol) And I just had no idea of how people just lived their life. It's so draining and trapping. But yeah, the end. |
