Black Plastic Lyrics

Lyric discussion by roxusan 

Cover art for Black Plastic lyrics by Ladytron

This is a song about the bondage and latex fetish scene, or rather, a rather boring night on the town. People with such discreet fetishes as latex and bondage recognize one another easily, and feel a special, secret connection. The boy described is touching the girl's face at the end of the song, which is a compassionate gesture. It's a slow, dull night on the town, and people often forget fetishists have those, too XD! The boy is so bored he draws on the girl's face (they must know each other fairly well.) The song's beat is also edgy, and in a way sounds like the addictive squeak of latex. But its smug lyrics remind us that fetishists have boring nights, too. Fetishists are people too. Classic ladytron topic ^^! Erm, that is all. CHOW! And don't touch the sushi.

XOXOXO, Roxanne
