| Crane Wives – Tongues And Teeth Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I like to imagine this is a song about healthy love after multiple generations of bad ones. She’s been taught to bite the hand of anyone who comes close, to always defend herself. There’s a truama response in this, ‘it’s a habit, I can’t help it.’ refusing love you so desperately want. She’s warning her lover she can’t love, she won’t love. Even if she can’t show it, she still begs them to stay. She doesn’t want to be a bad person like all of the people before her. She’s so stressed with meeting the wrong person she’s failing at this. She’s becoming cruel, vain, and angry just to protect herself from an invisible danger. |

| Crane Wives – Ribs Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I’ve always thought of this song as a girl warning her little sister. The girl has been in plenty of bad relationships shown in “No one gave up a rib for me and mine” “Oh my ugly organs how lucky we are” “Never to be moved by the words of a lair” The girl doesn’t want her sister to be ruined by a selfish lover. She dealt with not feeling like she belong, she didn’t came from someone’s rib. She wants her sister to know she doesn’t need to come from someone’s rib to belong. |

| Girlpool – Cherry Picking Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
I think we can all agree this song is about a form of addiction. What I find interesting is they decided they wanted picking cherries for this symbolism. Picking fruits (apples, cherries, strawberry’s) is done with loved ones, I’ve personally never heard of someone going to pick fruits alone. I like to think this addiction is most likely alcoholism, another thing done with loved ones is drinking. “Lovers turn into stranger” shows us the loved one had left of course. “Truth is that I am working, for myself and only me” shows us they’ve got into some form of denial, it’s a ‘I never actually loved you’ mentality. “Yes, I am picking cherries, I have a hard time staying clean.” Our final line, they’re admitting that they’re drinking alone. It’s different from drinking with friends or loved one, it’s a celebration not an addiction. |
