| The Geraldine Fibbers – Marmalade Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This is a text book "heroin" song. The first line says it all. Marmalade is a metaphor for the writers drug of choice which is most probably an opiate or a sedative hypnotic commonly found in the benzodiazapine drug family. I imagine that the songwriter has intimate knowledge especially considering the line "do't try to find me, don't try to pull me out, my marmalade", As a songwriter and recovering addict myself I can empathize strongly with the imagery in this song. The illusion of sentimentality and the refusal to acknowledge much more than remorse for her past is also an indicator. | |
