Cold Discovery Lyrics

Cover art for Cold Discovery lyrics by Smog

I really love my song but my girlfriend can't stand it - she calls it the "rape song". I don't think the singer is talking about a literal rape, the picture in my head is an argument that devolves into something physical, but totally non-sexual, and that the song is about his own ability to cope with that. Ie, his discovery is that he is capable of violence.

The piano line in this song is really awesome.

@thither It is about raping this woman for whatever reason he can't form a "normal" relationship:( It's a fucked up song that forces us to think about fucked up issues.

I know it's been 11 years since you posted, but I'd like to know your thoughts on it.

Thanks:)
