| Owen Pallett – Lewis Takes Off His Shirt Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Guys, I think the line "A hegemony armored with a thousand watt head and seven inches of echo" is about a penis. Owen is openly gay, after all, so it makes sense. Hegemony (“leadership”, “rule”) is an indirect form of imperial dominance in which the hegemon (leader state) rules sub-ordinate states by the implied means of power rather than by direct military force – by intervention and occupation. He uses this word metaphorically to enlighten the listener to the dominant nature of this particular encounter. "Armored with a thousand-watt head" The sensation he feels on the receiving end of this penis is 'electrifying', so to speak. "and seven inches of echo" The remaining length of the penis, or the 'echo'. This particular line always baffled me, and this just dawned on me the other day while pondering it. Thoughts? |
