| The Used – Cut Up Angels Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's funny when people get so mad over different interpretations of the lyrics. But I won't digress into that discussion. There is much sadistic/masochistic imagery in the song. Whether it is literal or not... there are sexual overtones (This is an objective statement, as evidenced by "lust" being likened to a gun). Whether it's about lovers, or rape, or an abusive relationship... that's up to the listener of the song to decide. All we can know is what the writer has to say about the song in interviews and I'm not enough of a tryhard to go look for interviews about this song. From my interpretation... 1) the cutting of the mouth by stuffing it all in, refers to sticking the entire phallus into ones mouth causing damage to the integrity of the oral cavity. 2)Losing his head and being unable to make the partner "come" or "cum" meaning they are unable to reach their orgasm... which is often a problem for masochistic or sadistic people; unless there is pain involved. 3) The lust and desire for "kinkier" for a lack of better words becomes figuratively like a gun. The singer is implying that there then needs to be pain or destruction in order for the lust to be satisfied. |

| Primus – Coattails of a Dead Man (feat. Martina Topley-Bird & Tom Waits) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Some find their solace in work or the lord, she was quite content in her dream. When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light, he found comfort in the bottle of Ol' Jimmy Beam. " When I listen to this part, I can swear I hear them say "She was quite content in her Greed" rather than Dream. Anyone else hear that? |

I also agree that he is saying that he has become self centered in his relationships. But i think you guys are forgetting the main phrase "I was once a loyal lover, whose lips did never seek another" I think this would imply that he had a naive love that didn't turn out well... causing him to become the way that he is now, not that he's just that way with no reason. It's like he stopped being able to love wholly due to a previous love. So it's two pronged. |
