| Yello – You Better Hide Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| From what I can pull out of lyrics, she is playing the coy victim ( manipulative, insincere; using her feminine, dark, sexual power) as she pretends to feel remorse & justify her deceit. \n\nShe is sadistic, condescending; wicked. A siren daring her victim to hide, “you better hide.” \n\nWhat do you think? Is she sincere? | |

Hi Olivia! It’s me, Olivia— I like your interpretation, but I suspect you should have stopped before you raced to the 3rd paragraph: 1.I think you meant “objectify” when you wrote “objective.” 2. Remember, tobobjectify is a damn good way to communicate abstract feelings when words just won’t work —not the [social] philosophy of dehumanizing. 3.Don’t worry. Nobody is reading this post, anyway : ) Love, Olivia |

—as I understand it, objectified, as expressed in Lewis’s singular & magical way, is a philosophical musing on the weight (not light) of being —the cycle of mortality, “...children are clumsy people...old people are rotting children...” This is why to be objectified IS a relief— it means embracing the emptiness; nothingness, living as a “natural THING; just like any THING.” Think about it & be honest: We fuck up a LOT in objectifying people; ideas, too. I mean, I adore Jeffrey Lewis via his music & art; does that mean I objective him? Um, yeah, probably. (That’s for another day). In any event, there is reality & “reality,” which is gorgeous & horrible— there are magnificent sunsets, majestic mountains, & yes, pale-pink seashells & buildings we “live” in— & we collect stuff & assign all kinds of meanings to them, & as I’m writing this, I’m thinking of those 2 lines in Governors on Sominex (DC. Berman), where he wrote, “Souvenirs only reminded you of buying them...[and] Somehow the sea was always there to make you feel stupid.” I didn’t even get to touch on love! I’d like to, but not now. |
