| Goldfrapp – Black Cherry Lyrics
| 13 years ago

Black cherry is possibly code for lesbianism.
Everyone knows the social symbolism of the Cherry. But why a Black Cherry with reference to the stone at the centre. the stone what men find if we get involved. Black is similar to Airport Black, which means you cannot land here. Get the idea? Talking of airplanes, Joan Jett is another singer to come out as a lesbian, but her symbolism is black heart, which maybe similar to Black Cheery. Just a theory. |

| Goldfrapp – Strict Machine Lyrics

This song reminds me of a sadomasochistic movie called "Secretary". A movie that featured a lot of spanking scenes. Dominant and very strict male & submissive female type scenario. Even the music has whipping sound running through it. I see what people mean by their vibrator interpretation, or even the Excessive Machine in Barbarella. for that matter Although why would a vibrator be a "Strict Machine"? |

| Black Sabbath – Children Of The Sea Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
This song seems mythic in character. As an aside, ancient societies turned what we call astronomy into stories or myths. The zodiac is a calendar that once guided us through the seasons. Nothing to do with astrology in this sense. It measures time, the ages, like any other calendar and here - the seasons. A time machine as its measurer and witness. The sea is the sea of the heavens where constellations swirl and dance like gods or demons, as we are, perhaps children of real oceans at one time, and part of the grand pattern we see in the sky. We evolved and cannot go back as children of the sea. Although this song has a doomsday approach reminiscent of a fire and brimstone preacher, preaching the end, rather than teaching the end is really a beginning.
The sun is dying, winter and death is approaches. Little will grow and the earth becomes hard like rock, food will become scarce and it will become very dark and cold. Fear mounts - our survival is under threat. Will the sun and its warmth ever return? Its primordial fear that this song taps into. Although the truth is, spring will return but the ancient fear and doubt of the child, fearing the dark is under the surface. A cycle or circles has no beginning or end. The sun will return and winter will fade. |

| Ben's Brother – Stuttering Lyrics
| 14 years ago

This song uses stammering in a real and also symbolic way, which is why fluent people relate to this song. Many fluent people stutter emotionally when wanting to express love. Afterall, its a time when you lay yourself feelings bare, and risk being burned by rejection, particulary when feelings are intense. A cycle of wanting to reveal love, but may recoil perhaps through fear of rejection or uncertainty. For a person who stammers, this inhibition can be taken to the nth degree. However this song is saying when the passion of love is allowed to flow in the kiss, the greatest form of communication, all inner barriers to expression are gone. The focus is on the other person, rather than yourself and your own fears. The strong emotions & passions, for a while, overpowers problem even between the kisses. |
