Going by this song every man out there is a date rapist, and it takes a tremendous effort not to be one. Not to be a rapist is a heroic act, apparently. Yeah, no. I sincerely hope most guys don't think this way, because if they do, I'm sure as hell "giving up" on them. You don't get a medal for not raping, that's the minimum of decent human behaviour. Some other things: - the "amateur pornographer" line possibly refers to someone recording sex without their partner's permission - Everything from "Let's all crowd 'round the cowering body" to "Hides a coward's heart in a lion's chest" is about how social censure for people who've done something wrong (in this case, rape) is just hypocrisy and cowardice and every man would be raping left, right and center if only he weren't "a coward". - "And build a house around you" - this part is interesting, because it sounds like the protagonist both wants to protect and cage the woman in question. |
