| St. Vincent – The Sequel Lyrics | 13 years ago |

After sex. They are laying in the dark The lover has "scent on your hands" (it's the other person's scent from fingering her) I love how she says "fuck fuck with dynamite" so softly lol in fact, the contrast between the music (very soft) and the lyrics (rough sex) is very amusing. |

| I agree. It's a similar situation in Your Lips are Red, two women. | |
| St. Vincent – Your Lips Are Red Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about a woman: "red lips", "your skin so fair" It's two women: "my face is drawn with this number 2 pencil" The song has two opposing emotional moments, and I wonder what exactly St Vincent was thinking of when she wrote them. To the best of my analytic capacities I'm going to say the first moment sounds like she's full of adrenaline or anxiety on meeting this woman (maybe even something darker, the music points that way), whereas in the second part we have the aftermath of that initial feeling and it could be her understanding she's in love or maybe the two of them finally sharing the authenticity in feelings after all that adrenaline etc. Or, else it could be the morning, and she's thinking of what happened during the night (like someone with a hangover thinking about a crazy night for example). But it's definitely about 2 women. And it's not her only song: think about Chloe in the Afternoon. |

people, wake up. close your drooling mouths guys. this song is cynical. if you listen to st vincent you probably know by now that she likes to mix the innocent with the perverse, the sweet with the anxious, etc. this song is about fooling a "john", fooling a man that she doesn't care about. she just wants his safety ("but you, you're a rock...") you can tell that she's being cynical when you hear these lines: "a heart like a socket i can plug into at will / and will you guess when i come around next / i hope your open sign is blinking still" and "when i touch down again i'll be in someone else's arms" combined with the fact that she only wants him for sex. get it? |
