| IAMX – Sailor Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor (His first invitation to have sex with a man) I think dirt (His mind races, he gets excited and thinks he's 'dirt' for wanting this) A suicide jump to run a self check (He analyses what he wants. Is he sure he wants to go through with it? YES) Oh my girl (Sarcastic, calling his male lover a girl) Do you only like the younger or the braindead? (Thinks low of himself, or prehaps this is in reference to his lover's previous lovers) Three way, freeway, take me like a sailor (He wants it, he wants to be free and be a 'sailor' with this man) Three way, freeway, wanna be a sailor? ('Are you sure you want this?') A-quick step, boy girl love me like you love her (Quickly, he realises he is attracted to both males and females) A Knee-jerk, slow work, wanna be a sailor? (Knee jerk, slow work, playful sex etc) In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor In our cell you ask me do I wanna be a sailor A child like a lipstick fight before the nose dive, (The first kiss, messy, all over the place but full of lust. Nose dive being the act of sex) My princess, do you only like the easy and the snow blind? (Another sarcastic namecalling 'princess'. Thinking he's submitted himself too easily, too quickly because he's so eager) etc. My thoughts anyway. AMAZING song though, so so so so sexy. |

| IAMX – Running Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this maybe a regress towards an ex. But when the days beneath me, scream into my present (Here he thinks back to the past too much, to when they were together) And then the touching becomes regret (Once they were close, now he regrets letting himself fall so hard for her/him) And the destruction of all convention, and all corrupted thought (There is no longer the conventional relationship and his view has become poisoned by what's happened) Dig their nails into my optimistic shell (He's now left bitter, and so negative. He's very down) I must always run the race on my own (He never wants a relationship like that ever again) |

| IAMX – The Negative Sex Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this is a feminist statement. How male's dominate, but Chris believes that women should have more dominance. Chris praises women, and their (sexual) power. For that, i love him even more. |
|
| IAMX – My Secret Friend Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
You have loved You were not alone (He reciprocates this feeling) You have braved the weather (His lover has braved all what people will say about their relationship) When the storm cut you to the bone ('Storm' being maybe the shunning of people, the disapproval) There was always shelter (Chris is her/his shelter) My secred friend I'll take you to the river My secred friend We can swim forever (Will take him/her away from the scrutiny and they shall love) etc So basically, a relationship that would be deemed as unacceptable (Chris immagined an insestuous relationship). |

| IAMX – This Will Make You Love Again Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Personally, i think this is Chris getting so down by the lies and the faults of the world. But he has a glimmer of hope (love, being that a lover or his music or whatever) that saves him from killing himself. He has said in interviews that if he didn't have IAMX he would have killed himself long ago. I just have to say 'If i have to switch the lights off, i want to switch them off with you' gives me deep chills every time i listen to this amazing song. Words. Can't. Describe. |

| IAMX – Your Joy Is My Low Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Definitely about an affair. He's too intoxicated by this girl to end it though, and he just repeatedly gets hurt. 'You lie to spare my life' - she denies any affair and while Chris knows the truth, makes him self sure that if he says he believes her then none of it ever happened. | |
| IAMX – You Stick It In Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think Chris is either describing the scenario of being in love with a guy who has a girlfriend. They fuck, but then the guy goes back to the girl. Or, he's impersonating a girl. BUT the different opinion i have is that he's describing how the girl feels when he cheats on her. Like, he's empathising what she'll go through when he goes off and has sex with someone else, be it a man or a woman. |

| Sneaker Pimps – Bloodsport Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"Sex and love is not a game A game is something you can win" In my opinion this is one of the best lyrics i've ever heard. And i think the song has to do with a sexual experience/relationship he'd rather forget. |

| IAMX – Think of England Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Chris has said himself in several interviews that Think Of England is him re-obsessing over how he felt in england before moving to berlin. How depressed and suffocated he was. Also, 'Think Of England' is a reference to a saying from the Tudor times, when Queens and upper class women were told to 'lie back and think of england' when having sex with their husband King (who they do not love). AMAZING SONG anyhow :) |

| IAMX – Heatwave Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Personally, i don't think this is about a prostitute. I think it's about his (now ex) girlfriend Sue Denim (pretty sweet blonde, hitched up skirt etc etc) Plus the 'I get a fantasy breeding babies in my nightmares' i think is a reference to his fear of having children and commitment in such way. |
|
| IAMX – Kiss + Swallow Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I personally think Chris combines a couple of meanings in this song. Firstly religion as commented (rather well!) before. But also the attitude society had/has towards bisexuality. He is openly bisexual and writes about his experiences and feelings in his songs. This is one is a clear example of this. I also think he is condemming religious attitudes towards homosexual sex etc etc. Kiss and Swallow is AMAZING. Chris is such a talent. I'm in love with him... |
