Unclean Lyrics

lying naked alone
on the bathroom floor
i keep waiting?
pain, fear
no more

and i cant get his scent off of me

she wants to be a messiah
without the crucifixion
she wants to fuck delilah
without samson's intervention
she wants to be a deity and rule us everyday
and punish the wars of your rich gods and the martyrs that they slay
she wants to see galaxies
all the planets and the stars
she wants to be a fallen angel without the swollen scars

unclean
unclean
filthee
and i cant get his scent off of me
unclean
unclean
filthee
and i cant get his scent off of me
unclean
unclean
filthee
i can't get this scent off me

she wants to free the kingdom
be worshipped by the earth
she wants to be the prophet
for ten times what shes worth
she wants to break free from eve
and leave them all behind
to be born again in the thrill of sin
and revive her dying mind
she wants to stand
raid the king
slaughter the guards and kill everything
burn the world and let her soul be free
light the noble of eternity

unclean
unclean
fillthee
and i cant get his scent off of me
unclean
unclean
fillthee
and i cant get his scent off of me

don't touch me there
oh, i know you're scared
kill the need in me
and i remain

unclean
unclean
fillthee
and i cant get his scent off of me
unclean
unclean
fillthee
and i cant get his scent off of me

why should i be afraid?
it's not the first time i've tasted pain
why should I be afraid?
it's not the first time i've tasted pain

and i cant get his scent off of me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

yes evenstar is correct it is called filthee, but this song is a brilliant song that falls into place with the "jones town tea" song. this song though more describes a single event, and how a person feels after being raped, taken advantige of or how ever you want to phrase it. part of this song that makes it so brilliant are the metaphors such as "she wants to fuck delilah, without samson's intervention" which is brilliant because it describes how people feel after terrable life events

Most of Otep's songs are about rape and abuse and maybe even Bush and the war, correct me if I'm wrong.
