IAMX – Avalanches Lyrics 14 years ago
I believe this song is about interwar german decadents society that Chris seems to be fascinated at (what is revealed several times on the album). 'In the dying of our souls our bodies were the only answer' - hedonism, nihilism, disobliging sex in the face of moral decay; references to the social situation at the time: poverty, feeling of helplessness, ruthless government; and finally obvious GDR reference. I think this doesn't come from any serious experience, this is just a imaginative voyage ninety years back, exactly to the place where he lives right now, to the times where the author and his perception of the world would fit perfectly.
