Cover art for S+m (a Love Song) lyrics by Kidney Thieves, The

This song is my favorite Kidneythieves song and it speaks to me, probably because I know how it feels to have pleasure and pain tied together so that one is almost the other.

Distant son, nova fucker Hit and run to another I always thought it was 'distant sun, nova fucker', as in the Sun. It means that while the real thing, the core is safely in the distance, you're screwing with all the things that are like it. Either meaning that you don't want to face the real thing and are fucking with what's not so that you don't have to deal with it, or screwing with them on your way, trying to find the real thing (but it's far away yet).

Took from you, from me Lash and caress in between He's giving pleasure and pain in turn, continually. Whether by 'you' she means the person inflicting the pain or whether she means other victims, or whether she's bringing us listeners in by asking if we've felt it, I don't know. It could be any of the three or all three. Anyone else think they know?

Damned, I'm tired. I haven't gotten much sleep lately (&#%ing sites like this -.^) and I think it's catching up. I'll be back later to finish off my detailed and highly educated (COUGH*) analysis ^.^
