| Kings of Leon – Milk Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think it is about a girl thet has been sexualy violated by his father odr uncle in her early teenage or childhood. She doesn't like milk - cause it remembers her of seemen for the penis. She comes late to shool because she is abused mostly in the night so she can't seelp well and comes late. she is the typical sexualised party girl that will flirt with everyone - cause she learned that sexuality is the only thing she is ggod for- but she is not able to have a real relationship with closeness caus eshe trust nobody, she might give you her toothbruch (a very intimed gesture) but she doesn't let people close to her heart... he can't get throught her! as he said | |
| The Knife – She's Having a Baby Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The songs name is "SHE is having a baby!" but the male voice sings: "so we are having a baby- in november!" that means that he somehow things he is part of it but the next sentance reveal that he isn't really cause the only responsability he will take is: "sending his blessings and kisses!" - AND I guess the mother was pretty pissed by his not taking responsability emotionaly and financially - and now the "dad" now sends enought belssing and kissing- and then he is like : "Why wasn't I told!" - like he wanted her better to abord the child, then to keep it - I think the whole atmosphere in the song is so sarcastic, the child ring musik all the time and the dumb voice and statement of the male voice, like he is not really getting what happens SHE IS HAVING A BABY MEN - that's a lot of responsability! I think the song plays the stereotype of the tenage father who just want to get out of the trouble but as not to be called a bad father, we still is like "Why wasn't I told?" as if that would change something- he is not taking responsability anyway |

| The Knife – Na Na Na Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
my god - the one time a white women criticies a white society - in the minute she does there is always a person blaiming People of colour for the sexism! I really think she is talking about sweden not CHINA - in sweden they have the highest rape rate - so rape is a big issue there - but the women is not fighting against sexism and ptrachy put just hug up in her houswife position beeing scared about the "mean" rapist - while her husband is fucking her everynight and she does not even enjoy it - her sexuality is only one she must take care of in blue tampons- to not be dirty but to be clean- white clean - for her husband coming home fucking her- and she being scared of a rapist, when leaving him- not realising that she raped already |

| The Knife – You Make Me Like Charity Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I am quite schocked by the interpretations of this song! For me it is so clear what they are talking about. The knife is a left, anti- kapitalist, and feminist band. She is talking about how a men and a girl (I said girl on porpose, cause it is a sexist therm to refer to women as girls by both genders- women call them self girls sometimes cause they have internalised the sexist system so much) ... so about how a men and a girl- can't understand what sexism is about... the girls voice said: "more than a second when reading the newspaper I felt the war I felt her exposed position I saw myself in the picture and I..." that is the second where the girl starts to realise that looking at a naked women in the newspaper is looking at a women in an exposed position and that she then saw her self in that picture- she started to realise the war betwenn the one who fight against sexism and the one who push it forward... The male voice is singing: "You try to feel but you don't wake up" befor and that is a metaphor for trying to understand sexism and patriachy but not getting it! The male voice also said: "I took a cab there to hold her I took a plane there to feel what she felt" He wants to feel what she felt - the exposed women in the picture of the newspaper- but he really can't because he is:"make(ing)his feeling of solidarity like charity, instead of paying enough taxes. getting taxes is a persons rightful right - you don't be thankfull to takes cause you just deserve them- it is a fair system of solidarity- getting charity is something you "should" be thankfull- cause it is not your right to get money (charity) from others- ans so with antisexist solidarity- it should be every womens right to have men fighting against sexism, cause men are oppressed by sexism like women are, but men make women feel like they are doing charity if they once trie to "feel what she felt"! that is what i think what the song is all about !=) |
