Whose Porno You Burn Black Lyrics

Who is the needle?
Who is the gun?
Where is the bullet?
I am
Where is the noose
To turn you loose?
Where is your needle?
I am

Starts out like magic, some sick religion
That ain't no vulture, that's a fucking pigeon
He's got vultures in his hair
And blood and feathers, they are everywhere

You want retreat
Filthy and deep
A dead moon
A drunken sleep
I know whose porno that you burn
I'll be everywhere you turn

Baby, there, there is a room
Full of death and whores and you
I am waiting in that room
And I will wait forever for you

It's all hoarse
It's all pain
It's all disease, man, it's all the same
My little Judas, my little twin
Where you start, that's where I begin

She said, "I want it now"
She said, "I want it now"
She said, "I want it now"
She said, "I want it now"

You don't listen to what I say
Just masturbate your life away
You don't listen to what I say
Just masturbate your life away
Masturbate your life away
Masturbate your life away

And you don't listen to what I say
Just masturbate your life away
Masturbate your life away
Masturbate your life away

Come back...come...back

It looks a lot like the outro for "Burn Black", I guess this was some early version.

Cover art for Whose Porno You Burn Black lyrics by Hole

This song is about drugs and suicide, probably inspired by Kurt since they came up with it during live gigs right after he died. "Who is the needle? Who is the gun?" are pretty obvious references, and her screaming "I am" after the intro verse is commenting on the blame she got for his death-- a great deal of the public looked at her as his killer, both figuratively and literally.

At the end she's equating masturbation with drug use, as both are self-indulgent. "Masturbate your life away" is basically a metaphor for "Go on, keep on using your life away."

My Interpretation

Also the "I know whose porno that you burn" is a clear reference to heroin; the "porno" is the substance, and the "burning" is the heating of it.

Basically, in this song, porno = drugs, and masturbating= using drugs.
