I'm going to take this song to a really dark place. I've always been a Mazzy Star fan but hadn't heard All Your Sisters until a really dark day. It got me through unbearable pain and related to me when I felt no one else could understand. I feel it came to me for a reason. It led me to conclude that this is what this song is about or something related: -Being in a abusive/toxic relationship with a man. A man who isn't even faithful to you and has other women in his trap who are in a sense, your sisters because you're all controlled by him. Maybe even a man who is sociopathic to an extent. Think of Charles Manson and his ability to convince his harem of women to murder for him. Do anything for him. How it feels, the things you say to yourself, the way an abusive man can tear you down to nothing, control you, convince you to do things that you'd never do before. "and I knew I was close to you/and I knew" - The love and connection the woman feels she has to the man that makes her feel like she should stay. The illusion of love he has created that she thinks is truth. It makes it so hard to let go of him no matter what pain he causes her, because she thinks she KNOWS for a fact that no one can love her like he did. "catch me flying in the sun/catch me drinking of your wine"- When he does give her moments of affection, it feels euphoric like she is a bird flying in the sun. She clings to those small moments. Drinking of his wine...the wine is like a metaphor for his toxicity, his problems...his negative influence. She is drinking all his negativity and it is impairing her judgment. It's dragging her down. "I'm gonna put something in you/make the devil feel surprised" - He is now able to control her and manipulate her to do things she would never normally do...she lets him control her sexually, emotionally, etc. She'd do anything to please him. This isn't her. She normally has morals, standards for how she is treated, etc. The devil is even surprised she is doing these things for him, that she has thrown all her self respect away because she is normally a really happy person. Maybe the devil is surprised that he has put such a sorrow inside her. Such an emptiness. Maybe he has introduced her to hard drugs she's never done before and never thought she would, other immoral things. "all yous sisters wanna fly/around my golden sky"- She is with him at the moment, she thinks of him as her golden sky. All the other women or "sisters" that he has abused that he has on/off relationships with are jealous, angry. Sometimes that is her when he is with them instead of her. He's always going back and forth between women. They are sisters connected by their abuser and the pain they share but instead they feel like enemies. "just because you feel hollow inside/it's real"- What she tells herself.Even though she feels so hollow, he gives her so much pain...she feels like the love is real. She feels like she can't turn her back on her love. It's so controlling and strong over her. She tells herself even though she feels so empty, it has got to be real. How could she be being deceived? How can this love not be true when she feels it so strongly? |
