| The Flaming Lips – Kim's Watermelon Gun Lyrics

This is by far my favorite Lips song. I always like to think it's about a girl named Kim (whether it be Kim Deal from the Pixies or not) who is beautiful and people are suiting her for sex but she respects herself too much and would like real love and a real relationship. Everybody is about one night stands and meaningless flings these days but Kim's beauty is the consciousness of love. I always find the Watermelon Gun part to be a bit of an oxymoron. You have something as colorful and silly as watermelon followed by a serious and lethal gun. Maybe people think that sex is just a silly thing but Kim wants it to be serious and committed. That's my best shot at it but Wayne is always so good at writing songs with deep, hidden meanings. |
