Programmable Soda Lyrics

Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda

'Cause you can
can be a cruel fella
So okay, then I just back off
the vanilla

Think of me as programmable soda
'cause I've come
I've come to accept that
for lovelies you are a fanatic
But I can't
I can't let that throw me
into a genital panic

Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda
When you think
and boy when you drink
when you think of me.

i think the song is about the type of girl who will be what a man wants! everyone loves soda and everyone has thier favourites. but the girl is saying "well i am whatever soda you want! make me the way you want and you'll enjoy". and once she ends the relationship she'll return to neutral and change for the next man in her life! she is what YOU want

THIS. Yes.

And the power to be had in being able to do that.

i like the bit about a genital panic but im so lost with this song haha

I think this song is about the kind of girl who changes her own attitudes and ideas to suit what she thinks a man wants to hear, because she is afraid that she'll lose him to another woman if she doesn't do so.

Consider comparing these lyrics and comments with "Code Red" which comes right after this on the disc. Code Red is a brand name of soda...

I believe the song is about how she can change herself to suit his needs without losing her true essence.

She can add and remove some of her 'flavouring,' yet she is still 'soda' underneath. She realises that while she is molding herself to be more lovable in the eyes of her lover, she will not change herself into something she isn't.

Yes, I agree, but I think there's more of an emphasis on gender.

"genital panic"

Feminism/masculism as traits rather than categories...and she's lost somewhere in between.
