| Marillion – Gazpacho Lyrics | 9 years ago |

This is one of my favorite songs on "AoS". "Gazpacho" is a cold soup. While I agree that this song is about powerful men who abuse women, I think the title and track makes specific reference to the O.J. Simpson murders. The title refers to the quote "revenge is a dish best served cold", since Gazpacho is also a "cold" soup, this makes sense. I also agree that since Gazpacho is generally reddish brown in color, references that others have made also makes sense as an excuse for stains on clothing (in a general sense for woman who are abused). O.J.'s revenge on his former wife and boyfriend, was certainly "cold". Other references give hint to this, "Drive the road", "you think they will forgive a hero anything". |
