French Kiss The Elderly

Hmm... only parts of the song makes sense to me...

I'm sitting quietly In gothic sympathy I try to cut myself But they won't watch me bleed

This reminds me of those people who cut themselves for attention, and how this behavior got attached to goths. Grrr.

They'ed rather slit thier wrists Than french kiss the elderly

Again, a refference to self mutilation. This actually reminds me of how people are so uptight about how things are "wrong", like age differences in relationships and whatnot. Just my ideas on it...

I just realized most of these comments are from like 10+ yrs ago and probably no one will see mine but whatever lol i like analyzing songs

anyway

i think this whole song is from the pov of an elderly person in a nursing home. They are old, and lonely, far from their family, they feel gross, everyone around them is gross, and they are acting out, maybe even suicidal because they dont see a point in life if its just sitting in a home somewhere. They think their family would rather shoot or cut themselves than be around them, and being in therapy together is the only thing thats brought them together. On a darker vein of thought, its almost like the family who put them in the home is genuinely sick and tired of them, and maybe actually tries to "put them out of their misery" so to say, because of the constant "dont shoot" and "youre hurting me" lines and the whole part at the end. Either way, its a lonely elderly person who feels forgotten about by their family and just wants the attention of their loved ones again and will do anything to get it, even hurt themself.

i love this song its really cool to take a look at things like this. it always makes me think 'hey, whats up with me? old ppl have feelings, they were kids once, they were in love' and all that shit. this song rocks!!

I think this song is about being trapped and being afraid and being forced to do things you'd rather not

This is a cool song, yet its odd. I'm not too sure what it means. I think its perhaps about how young people perceive older people these days.

This song is really cool, but I haven't been able to find a full length copy of it, I only have a verse and a chorous to mine, it is a really weird song but in a totally good way =) I mean at a first blush to the lyrics it could be about how youth today really just don't care about the elderly, I mean you know field trips to nursing homes to talk to them or play games but they just don't really care. Maybe?

i think this songs about people who are narcassists and who are attention seeking and fake:

"I'm not so pretty now They're filthy next to me" because shes sayign that that shes better than others and there 'filthy' and making her more so by being near her.

"I'm staring at myself in family therapy" like them kids that think they are all 'disturbed' and act out so there parents put them in therapy which thye willingly except...

"I'm dying day by day But no one cries for me" she wants people to cry for her and feel sorry for her.

"I'm sitting quietly in gothic sympathy I try to cut myself But they won't watch me bleed" she wants to be a goth and she cuts herself for attention but no one actaully cares.

"Don't shoot Don't shoot Don't shoot Don't shoot" it reminds me of a person who says they want to die but when someone actaully holds a gun to there head they really want to live.

"Come on let's kill ourselves" thats what shes SAYING but what she really feels is whats following on after that:

"Please don't hurt me Don't don't hurt Don't shoot" because she really wnats ti live she just wants/needs the attention.

"Don't you fucking touch me"becayse shes better than them...

_ i could be wrong, a few bits i havent worked out... but urmmm shuts up

sorry... and also when she says: "I have two tumored hands and a diseased body" i thinks shes exageratingher illness to sound worse than she is... shuts up

Stop shutting up!

p.s: Great Song (I've been Dloading lots of j.o.j. stuff lately)
