| Violent Femmes – Blister in the Sun Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song is not quite about masturbation. Everyone pointed out the line "Big hands, I know you're the one" without ever hitting upon any viable explanation. It is of course sexual like most of their early songs. But it has a specific reference. He's searching for the perfect handjob. That's why he's looking for a girl with "big hands." | |

If you study the actual teachings of Jesus Christ rather than the bible and Christian Mythology, Jesus taught that eternal salvation could be found in unconditional love. Essentially when he says: "Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eye and fire in his heart He said you'll never have to choose a side It's rewarding but oh, the road is hard.... " He is referring to the teachings of Christ as opposed to the teachings of the church. This song has a very strong agnostic message and clearly derides atheism as much as it derides other religions. "Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing" Somebody shouted, "All is lose" But I can't buy that nonsense too" "And I won't claim to believe the things I read Black books or agenda magazine I'd rather see in shades of gray " It seems to me Tomas is essentially saying anyone claiming to have all the answers about eternity whether they claim it definitely does exist or they claim it definitely does not exist is being exceedingly arrogant. This song clearly opposes the views held by religious people but it very clearly opposes atheistic zealotry as well. |
