| Yeah, if there's any link to Fleetwood Mac that can be made about her music, it's THIS song and THIS sound (also the backing vocals) | |

Neverminding the bad grammar of the chorus ;)... It made me think of Bowie's "We could be heroes just for one day". But what do you guys make of the fact that the person dreams of being a pilot despite being described in an environment of cars and trains? It could be something like his current state is actually a compromise to what would actually make him feel complete, fulfilled. That is why he's trying to boycott this system that is holding him back in his desperate state. |

| Perfume Genius – Never Did Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I had never looked up lyrics to this album until today and I can't believe how far away the actual themes can be when compared to the dreamy music you hear. Heck, you can even call it romantic to listen to with ur partner! So after so many interpretations about twisted sickos and murderers I can't NOT see the resemblance between this very short song with minimal lyrics and John Fowles' The Collector. Anyone read it? It has inspired many generations of abductors to trap girls in their basements and do horrible stuff to them (although this never happens in the novel). The novel is structured in 3 parts: first the abductor's account (pretty deranged in his innocent way of explaining things and expressing his feelings), then the girl's diary during her confinement (the lyrics to this song could match some poems / desperate messages she writes down as she's trying to starve herself to death), and finally the guy's perspective on how the thing ended. So I've just lost a wonderful album that I thought was about sweet love and the daze that you're in and flood of feelings. But I've also gained a really surprising collection of songs that work at a totally different level than what the melody might make you believe: it's all just as innocently soft as The Collector's distorted mind not realizing the gravity of his intentions. |
