| The Sound of Animals Fighting – The Heretic Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Well looking at the song, a "Bumpkin Boy" is referring to a boy that has sexual relations with a women for the first time, bumpkin showing that he is unsure on what to do, or how to go about engaging in the sexual activity. This is from the phrase, "I use to be a Bumpkin Boy, now I am a Bumpkin Man." And the reason why it is called the Heretic is because its going against the ideals of the church, which is do not have sex until marriage. So he constantly says,[Flesh is heretic, My body is a witch I am burning it] he's discussing the inner turmoil he has about having sexual interaction, and how his body his physical self was lost within it, he's changed who he is, so he metaphorically burns it, meaning he wishes to start anew, get rid of his old self. His sinful self. I don't know. The song is so incredibly deep, and I believe all meanings and songs have truth to them, its up to your person reflection of the piece. -Song is art. Art is interpretive. Songs is interpretive as well. |
