Notice the song changes tone at the serrated edge? What's that all about? I think she's killed him and put the choice cuts in her fridge. She occasionally gets out a good sharp knife and cuts off a portion. Capisci? |

| Cake – Comanche Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
The Comanche were renowned for fierce warriors and womenfolk who would torture captives of war. You did _NOT_ want to be caught by the Comanche. They were very destructive and at one point even challenged the U.S. military in the southern great plains. Did they want cities? Well, they weren't the type exactly to build roads. This is a song of great irony. |

@[ComicBookGoddess:45241] "your pentagram is down below our floor" - note the word "our" meaning that he and she are shacked up. It's a relationship. If you listen to Cake a lot, you'll start to get an understanding of our hero's perspective, i.e. it's some dude from Sacramento. You must think like a dude from Sacramento to understand. |

| Cake – Pentagram Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
This song is about a guy who'll do anything for love and in this case he has hooked up with a nutty occultist. Cake songs are often about a guy having relationship problems. She's made a pentagram below the floorboards (under the house) "your pentagram is down below our floor". Although he doesn't buy into her b/s, for example, "feisty eyes" and satanic jewelry doesn't bother him, he knows he has gotten involved probably more than he should have. As I have gotten older "ashes of dead babies" resonates. When men are young, killing babies doesn't register but we are more guilty than our women who get abortions frankly. That's my opinion. As we get older, and our irreplaceable losses accumulate, it really hurts us older men for some reason. |
