| Hole – Berry Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| I think this song is about prostitution and deadly STDs, probably AIDS (it was written during a time when the HIV virus was a death sentence). Viruses look like berries and, as parasites, they kill what they need. The prostitute is the death machine offering sex for money, with viruses buried deep inside her that will cause her death and maybe infect others ("When I die, won't you bury me? Cause I buried you, baby, deep in me" meaning she speaks to the man who transmitted her the deadly virus). "Cut it open" means she is doing the HIV test, "I wanna know", and "now I know" - now she knows she is HIV positive, and that she caught the deadly virus from the garbage man. | |
