| KMFDM – Pity For The Pious Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
This song is about a woman having a prolonged near death experience. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of Death as an entity. For the majority of the song, Death is anticipating voyaging her to the "other side", feeling the moment of her death drawing near. She, however, ignorantly goes on with her masturbation, until (presumably) the flames of her apartment fire become impossible to miss any longer, and she has a very unpleasant return to reality as she narrowly escapes. There's a deeper meaning, a message if you will, to this song, but it's lost on me. It's definitely not meant to be taken as literally as I'm making it. Somehow her masturbation is being labeled as pious, and in fact, her sexuality seems to be what spared her the burning fate. *shrugs* It's absolutely not about rape, though. |
