| Swans – You Fucking People Make Me Sick Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[Asshole246:16918] I agree with your interpretation but I believe that is one side to the story. This song reminds me of Beautiful Child off Children of God by Swans as well which is a similar story about a narrators deluded justifying thoughts about pedophilia and murder and self deception but if you listen to the first third and last third of the song it is eerily relatable as a human and powerful and this is done intentionally in order to create a dual and parallel meaning about Self deception and entitlement in order to compare the delusions of a pedophile with the less visible delusions of society. In comparison this song recycles that formula in a more concise subtle, and nonrelatable way and as you said the narrator sanitizes the same sort of atrocity of destroying youth and innocence with language that suggests although "diamonds are falling through the wound in the sky" it is their fault and justified through their entitlment and his obsession and anger at their youth (They Fucking make him sick). This duality between loving and hating the children is further complicated by the songs references to overpopulation of entitled society contrasted with the narrators romanticizing youth as he succumbs to his obsession at the end of the song he is clearly a hypocrite as he is entitled as well and while peoples urge to reproduce is leading to overpopulation he cant resist his obsession. Fucking sick song. | |
