| Michael Jackson – Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I heard this song was about his dad beating them. I took it to mean his dad was also starting fights with the kids and It's Too High To Get Over (Yeah, Yeah) Too Low To Get Under (Yeah, Yeah) You're Stuck In The Middle (Yeah, Yeah) And The Pain Is Thunder (Yeah, Yeah) might have been Michael being stuck as a middle child and not being old enough yet or young enough to escape the thunderously painful beatings. You're A Vegetable, You're A Vegetable Still They Hate You, You're A Vegetable You're Just A Buffet, You're A Vegetable They Eat Off Of You, You're A Vegetable Those lyrics could be the way the kids viewed their abusive dad, as a compassionless, inhumane psychotic who was no good for giving or receiving love from his children, only good enough to provide food on the table. If You Cant Feed Your Baby (Yeah, Yeah) Then Don't Have A Baby (Yeah, Yeah) And Don't Think Maybe (Yeah, Yeah) If You Can't Feed Your Baby (Yeah, Yeah) You'll Be Always Tryin' To Stop That Child From Cryin' Hustlin', Stealin', Lyin' Now Baby's Slowly Dyin' Just maybe shows Michael thought you shouldn't have kids if you can't take care of them. Lift Your Head Up High And Scream Out To The World I Know I Am Someone And Let The Truth Unfurl No One Can Hurt You Now Shows Michael finally escaped the physical abuse, but we all know the emotional abuse was harder to get away from. |

| Florence + the Machine – Girl with One Eye Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I think it's about power games men play with women...get your fingers out of my pie, meaning it's all mine, women not allowed. Of course rape is a power game that he always seems to play but the problem is he doesn't tell anybody he's playing it. Kinda easy to win when you're the only player. He's got a bad reputation. He feels he has to annihilate her because she made him get in touch with his feelings, and look weak...made him cry. | |
