| The Marionettes – Like Christabel Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The song is in reference to Samual Taylor Coleridge's poem "Christabel", an influence to both Le Fanu's "Carmilla" (which could be considered a novelization of Christabel) and Bram Stoker's "Dracula". Christabel is the innocent who is vampirically preyed upon by Geraldine. The song is stating that your fate will be like that of Christabel. |

| Nina Hagen – Handgrenade Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In this song Nina Hagen is expressing Christine Maggiore's (absolutely incorrect) belief that HIV is not the cause of AIDS and that one should not take their antiretroviral drugs as they make the illness worse rather than better. The lyrics regarding "Magic" refers to Magic Johnson, who Nina thought did not take any pills to treat his HIV from becoming AIDS (but she was wrong, he does). It is unknown if Nina still holds these beliefs, but the song offers very bad advice. |
