| Sonic Youth – Sympathy for the Strawberry Lyrics

I think this song describes a sibling that lives in the shadow of his/her other sibling. Some lines that support this: "Let me introduce you...tickle out", "She will rise just to embarrass me", & "Desire it grows and grows, like a strawberry, not a rose." That last one really shouts the meaning out at me, saying that the shadowed sibling is not the rose the other is. |

In Sonic Youth's biography, "Goodbye 20th Century", Kim says that this song is a compilation of various mumblings of hookers and junkies on Eldridge Street, which she wrote down. Although, the placement of the phrases is really thought-provoking. |
