Clear your dusty throat and taste that stiletto. Can you taste that metal? -This is brilliant word play here. I think Cory is using stiletto with two meanings together. He is referring to the alcoholic drink and the other a dagger ("can you taste that metal.") The drink goes with the theme of alcohol abuse. The dagger is referring to a coup de grace which means "blow of mercy". These particular daggers were used in the middle ages to finish off opponents who were sure to die. The alcohol is like a stiletto dagger attempting to put him out of his misery. |
