| Echo and the Bunnymen – The Cutter Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Gotta disagree with this whole "cutting" meme. Yes, Ian may well be using any number of metaphors to illustrate his "suffering artistry" inc. Biblical references. But as far as "cutting" as a psychological disorder is concerned not only was it unrecognized as symptom in 1983 but in general affects 4-5x as many women as men. I'm confident this track is about censorship & criticism both overt & subtle from the engineer's stool to the A&R guy, the BBC, the UK press to Warner Bros., the US media & back again. | |
