| TR/ST – This Ready Flesh Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song just should have been called "My Body is Ready" :) The lyrics suggest a desire for taboo or forbidden sexual contact, likely a man's desire for male contact. |

| TR/ST – Bulbform Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I interpret this song as being about feeling inexperienced, still a youth in "bulbform." Like a bulb trapped inside the packaging & unable to breathe, waiting patiently to be planted in the garden. In other words, he needs to break out and experience life, lest he suffocate where he is. He knows he can't stay in his immature, inexperienced state forever. | |
| TR/ST – Shoom Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"Shoom: The feeling when you first realise the E you took is working. The word refers to the sudden surge of XTC starting to work, in analogy to e.g. a car shooming past. There was a legendary club in London durring "The Summer of Love" (1988) called Shoom, after the meaning described above." i.e."I'm shooming my ass off and I'm in a K hole right now" ~ Party Monster documentary (1998) Source: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shoom |

| TR/ST – Dressed for Space Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Many drug references, both in the lyrics and video (chemical structure of bufotenin flashed, smokes the rocks). I think Dressed for Space might be code for high. I also think in this song he's been cheated on by a promiscuous and/or dishonest lover (2nd verse) and now he feels as though he's unraveling (he's made ribbon and unraveling knot by knot) so he gets high to deal with it. "I'm dressed for space now can I go?" to me implies he's high and wants to escape. | |
| TR/ST – Candy Walls Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Candy Walls may be a reference to Sheena Easton's Sugar Walls (look THAT term one up on urban dictionary why don't you). I suspect it is about a guy sleeping with a girl and attempting to convince himself that it's what he wants, though deep down he knows it isn't. He stays in the relationship out of fear of hurting her or maybe what the personal ramifications would be for breaking up, a possible admission that he's not quite ready to volunteer, either to her or to himself. "Her streak survives in the night" might about her sexuality, or possibly even the more literal post-coital sense of leaving some markings behind. I think "Even though you still get by/Searching for the things that make you come alive" is in reference to knowing that he desires men, or at least knowing that something isn't quite sitting right with him in this current guy-girl pairing. |
