| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Stranger Than Kindness Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
First and foremost Stranger Than Kindness is my favorite Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds song. There's a very strong sense of hopelessness and I can't ignore it. I'm not quite sure what the hopelessness is about it. Maybe it's decaying love or something from the outside that caused it. My interpretation is watching yourself or someone else deteriorating before your eyes. I don't really think it's about sex well at least not in the way others interpreted the song. Several lines lead me to believe it's hopelessness and deterioration of the self or love. "And find a rope hanging there"-this is a symbol of losing all hope or imminent death. "There is no home there is no bread We sit at the gate and scratch "-this is a metaphor for not being to escape "The gaunt fruit of passion Dies in the light"- the deterioration. light is often used as a symbol of life. and a gaunt fruit of passion is withering and/or the lack of being alive |

| I believe it's about blindly following Jesus without question or reason. You allow Jesus to lead the way without considering personal conviction. | |
