Butcher Lyrics

You're too close
I don't recognize your smell
You're in the wrong skin
I don't recognize your smell
Your mouth smells strange
Some people want to kill you
Some people want to fuck you
When you say the wrong word
You could be screwing yourself
When you act the wrong way
When you do the wrong thing
You could be screwing yourself
Don't be a whore
You could be screwing yourself

Called "Whore" on live recordings. Creepy, seems like someone who might have ill intentions. See "some people want to kill you".

Cover art for Butcher lyrics by Swans

sounds like the thoughts of an obsessive person. they have a "perfect image" of a person they stalk, and with their delusional mind anything that contradicts this ideal in their head upsets them. perhaps the title implies that the narrator has kidnapped their obsession and is murdering them as punishment for not being perfect like they believe them to be.
