"She draped me in a stole (what kind?) I think Malaysian mink" is probably a shout-out to www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mink_stole ; that woman in the John Waters discography. lyrics are fantastically rich. |

| of Montreal – Enemy Gene Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Enemy gene is the gay gene. First stanza is about homosexuals who are trying to fit in and have a hetero romance, but it's not working for them. The zombies are trying to expose the homosexuals, mindlessly bashing that which they don't know. Homosexual love is breaking the machine, and the narrator wants society to evolve past the capitalist governmental "gods". the narrator feels bad about being gay because society has ingrained a deep hatred of homosexuality into him and his people, and at the same time wants to move beyond sexuality. The "everythings born in shame" claims that everyone has facets they're ashamed of, not just him/her. It's just a lot of conflict and the narrator can't think straight, he's skeptical of rationality ever surviving in such a cruel world. Particle-wave duality expresses the narrator's conflict about conflict, he's gay, has to have "not-gay" properties at the same time under different tests. ...I like the above poster's interpretation better. |
