@[lucarocks:53177] Yup, she went down on him, gave him AIDS, and now he’s dying as a result. Sad song. |

The key words here are “I’m hell”. The narrator is saying that he’s hell to be around and especially to be in a relationship with. He’s inviting the object of his desire to be with him and come “burn in hell.” He even coos “I’m gonna leave you burning for more.” ;) I really love this song - it’s a shame it was never released except for on DLO. Would have been a killer addition to Document or LRP IMHO. |

This song’s totally about masturbation though, isn’t it? “Love myself, better than you.” 🤣🤭 |

| The Kinks – Living on a Thin Line Lyrics

I think most of you guys are overthinking this. To me, this song is very clearly about how short life is. Over the timeline of history, the length of our lives is just a “thin line”. The narrator is thinking about all the people who fought all these battles, conquered castles, etc. in England over the centuries. But they’re gone now and very little is remembered about them, and certainly for the vast majority of individuals who ever lived. So based on how short our lives are, living on this thin line, what are we supposed to do?
He doesn’t directly answer it, but I would say recognize the brevity of life, appreciate it, and live our lives to the fullest. Make each day count. And think about the kind of world we are leaving for our children, as he alludes to in the 2nd verse. Because we’re living on this thin line, there’s not very much we can do over the grand course of history, but we should still do what we can to help future generations have a better world.
Because inaction would be a crime, and it DOES matter what we do in our lives, even though we’re living on this very thin line. 😇
(Absolutely love this song, and also discovered it through the Sopranos lol, although I’ve loved the other Kinks songs I’ve heard.) |
