Much Finer Lyrics
I don't think it has anything to do with not doing anything, and therefore not supporting feminism, I think it's about how you 't always be there on the spot when people want you, because you have your own shit to deal with, and you sometimes have bad days, too.
I always thought it was about depression. Insomnia, fatigue, sadness, hopelessness, social isolation, and lack of interest in your passions are all symptoms of depression, and the way the song is sung is very subdued. It can't be about apathy towards feminism; tonnes of people are apathetic towards feminism without having to drag themselves out of bed. Plus, I'm pretty sure "won't be coming to your benefits" is actually "won't be coming to your benefit" -- referring to a specific benefit that's taking place soon, like how she missed a specific party.
I wanna stay in bed all day..hey, this is my theme song. I love le tigre.
My theme song as well. I pissed off some friends by making them listen to it and saying it was my song to them..oh well right
the remix to this song is really good. listen to it on a rainy day.
oops, I meant "wont always be there".
I agree, the remix is so good.
and I agree with bryce, it's not about apathy.
I read in an interview that it's supposed to be about people bitching behind Kathleen's back about her being a feminist, and how they saw it as doing nothing, hence the apathy angly.
Do you know what interview it was amberbreath? I wanna read it!
I thought this song was kind of ambiguous like the message confused me a little cuz it seemed apathetic to me as well. But what amberbreath said clarifies it more.
