to me its a song about man and there role in society the ones lying and putting on lipstick are women and only there presence "a shadow on my face" is able to move tender feelings in us donkeys "sweating sickly donkeys don't allow their tears no emotion never feel and drown themselves in whatever" - all male features, whatever beeing, drugs, work, manic activity "find some meaning" the male process of individuation demands more indipendent distinction between the social environment "donkeys weight cracking a spire" - the weight of burdens of the male role being so big, that some men fail, get damaged trying to fulfill it "sweetness bent double" - the male relationship to his love and sexuality "whole days making polite" - more than women men have to force themselves to be "polite" "never moving out of turn or ever trying to be natural" - being natural for a man most often would be inapropriate "those with silence inside eyes bare piss holes in the snow drained and burnt yellow and sunk in self-pity" - introverted, weak, sensitive men often fail in society, not fitting in the role and get frustrated "jerusalem saw off donkeys are only left with lies" ... ? |

i don´t think it´s a real love song, more about the missing of a fetisch or a drug, which could be a lover... (the harder it get´s, when i am alone = when i don´t have you...) the line: "the simpler the question, the harder it can get" is a nice phrase, but i don´t see how it really fits into the rest of the song. any suggestions? |
