A Beast For Thee

Ugh. This song just kills me. A couple of corrections though. It's "Why AREN'T you kind to me?" This is the key to the rest of the lyrics. It's not a love song, but a torch song. It's a faulted, fucked up man (the kind we all know too well) but whose heart is completely at the mercy of this other person.

The other correction is "Overcome and FLAY all fears."

I hear it as "Love, in some way, you choose". Can't really make sense of the line as it appears here. And "God's plan" is singular, but that's just nit picking.

I think this song is incredibly moving. It's a song of love and devotion from a man who's aching with desire for a woman who doesn't seem to return it. His secret and most sacred hope is that she'll give him the chance to prove how well he could love her. He's talking about sex but it's symbolic of his deeper feelings. I think it shows how well Oldham understands women. What could be more profoundly moving than a man declaring how hard and relentlessly he'd try to please you - a beast for thee. I'd submit.

"If you had half a mind Leave worldly things behind Devote to being kind"

So TRUE. beauty

To me this is the song of a male submissive to his partner. He will do anything and everything for her regardless of how she treats him. This will not end happily!

Ok, this is going to seem like kind of a juvenile interpretation, but anyway. This song appears to be a guy saying to a girl 'Maybe you wouldnt be such a bitch to me if you knew how big my dick is', like I said, it seems juvenile, but is it beyond the realms of possibility?, after all we're talking about a man who wrote a song called 'your dick is hanging out and you have come in your hair'
