| CocoRosie – Raphael Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| so, 1st off, to understand this song, you have to realize that Bianca Cassady (the singer) openly identifies herself as queer. That being said, I believe this song is about a girl who is in love with another girl. "Dreams of warm breasts settling in my mouth" this kind of says it outright, but it goes on to say "to be my spouse, make a babe and a house" (btw it is babe not bale) so this leads me to believe that this song is not only about lesbian love, but about the girl realizing that allthough she may be in love with this other girl, she will never be able to have the normal "apple pie" lifestyle with a home and a family. Let's face it, that sort of white picket fence, suburban life is very hetero-centric. So my best guess is that this song is about a girl who is having a relationship of sorts with another girl, but realizes that they can never have a life together. | |
