| Skunk Anansie – Charlie Big Potato Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think the clue is in the video, with little kid in the bed and the creepy adult touching him while the kid looks panicked. It's about child abuse (probably sexual), brother, sister and an adult. "Tell it like it is" is a clue to the fact that the girl is trying to keep her sanity by observing and being aware of what is happening, and her brother is in denial. When a child is a victim of abuse, it develops an alternative reality (denial) as a defense mechanism, because it cannot overcome its abuser, neither physically nor mentally. The song is also a statement that even living in horror and being aware of it is better then denial, because at least you are not lost. |
