| Devendra Banhart – Tit Smoking in the Temple of Artesan Mimicry Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
ok, lets try something, after all it doesnt matter that the song is instrumental, because the song is part of an album, and even as a title, it should/could be interpreted as having a contribution to the concept of the album, or anyways, just for the funsies. tit smoking in the temple of artesan mimicry: mimicry is the hability that certain species develop to mimic other species in order to gain advantages, protection, survival as a whole. tit smoking resembles neurosis, and the mention of orality (smoke-suck, cigarrete-tit; these analogies will serve my interpretation later), specifically orality with the tit, resembles 'mother', which for its turn symbolizes 'origin'. Now i'm gonna do a little fooling around with the title to clarify my intention: tit-smoking is a mimicry thought by (a very witty, despite decadent) an artesan (its a human invention). Or else, tit smoking is the most common human behaviour, its our need for tit, our need for origin, its oedipus, we want to go to our origin, we want to do it with our mother (but in doing that we are very stupid, because doing her is easy - what we never get to is that 'origin', basically because its an illusion, its something we desire very much, it would be something to hold on to, it would be the 'self itself', the 'real self', 'who we are', 'who we really are inside', our 'essence'). There could be a further interpretation that all our adulthood orality, including of course smoking cigarretes, is product of that repressed desire, the need of origin, that we had to give up some day around our childhood when we realized or someone forced us into realizing that we couldn't do our mothers, but its really something bigger, its a human need, therefore that smart artesan (as in its a human artifice) called mimicry (mimicryanism, or neurosis) created tit-smoking, nail-biting, compulsive eating (or in histeric neurosis, vomiting, etc) in order for us, weak but quite frankly pathetic humans, survive. Sorry for any misspeling (if that word exists), and well, its just an interpretation, a long one, sure, but i thought for a second it could make someone who read it think. or not, what do i care. its already there. anyway, great instrumental, and devendra rocks the sox. |

| awesome, i totally think its about that. but then again, i never think a great poet (any great poet) does a poem meaning only one thing, on purpose, because he sees, at the moment of writing it, the enormous gamma os meaning that his words absorb. however your interpretation is at present the best i've got for it. | |
| The Smiths – Still Ill Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
maybe this is a mile away, but anyway i'd like to try. i think this song is about communism, capitalism, free-competition, and the personal affections of that.. and the body ruling mind part i think is about, as we see in Kubricks film Dr Strangelove, the story about the bodily fluids which corrupted innocent americans and other people's minds, turning them into communists, infecting everyone.. spreading throught water.. and as the narrator is nostalgic about these times in which society owed him a living (communism), and he knew communism wasnt gonna overcome. I also think that "iron bridge" is supposed to be a metaphor for the iron curtain of communism, and that the narrator spent some time with a girl by the Iron Bridge, maybe a pathway between both "worlds", the West and the Soviet, where they met, and he saw a good side of life.. and he posing the question "am i still ill?" is ironic in the sense of he asking himself if he is still ill with the contamination of comunism - but actually its only nostalgia, and the fabrication of the "liquid communism" was just a bull. but hey, dont sue me for saying it, i'd just like to pose my opinion with a few fundamentation, but maybe he just meant to be ambiguos.. i dunno, he's preeeetty good at lyrics. |
