| CocoRosie – Terrible Angels Lyrics | 15 years ago |

"If every angel's terrible, why do you hide inside of them?" this could perhaps be stating, "if woman are so awful, why do you have sex with them?" i think this song is clearly about woman, and how men view them. the idea just clicks. |

| Before even reading your interpretation, I commented nearly the same thing. I agree with you completely, and due to some research of Sierra and Bianca's background, I think this is easily the best interpretation of the song. | |

In light of some research I did on CocoRosie, I read that Bianca describes this song as speaking of sexual molestation in a very personal way - so yes, it is about some sort of molestation. However, I do not believe it was the father who molested her, I think it was perhaps her brother. "Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul." In many of their live perfomances, we hear them say the name Simon, who I believe to be their deseased brother. "A Young brohter, skinny and tall my older walks oceanward and somber." In Summer Breeze, the girls describe a scene in which their brother told them not to breathe and not to tell his secret - " Simon, my brother, first man I loved/Or should I say that he loved me/I was in second grade, he was fourteen/In the shady of the trees/It was a summer breeze/Whole thing's a blurry dream/Behind the house quiet as a mouse/He told me not to breathe/A secret hard to keep" Also, at the beginning of Lemonade it describes a suicide which I believe to be that of Simon's - " It was Cinco de Mayo/Pillow case on his head /No more breathing time /An ambulance sped/Sped 'round ever corner /Calling out his name/ Oh Simon" I think that maybe Simon was her father's son from another woman, and I believe that the parallel between Simon and her father is duscussing how alike they are - "And he was born with the same blue eyes." "He had you hands and my fathers face/ Another western vampire differant time same place." It's only a theory, but background knowledge on the girls seems to point in this direction.. |
