Rid of Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by sinkorswim 

Cover art for Rid of Me lyrics by PJ Harvey

What makes this song so profoundly affecting is the almost contradictory parts its made of: the fragile, weak, lonely, pleading up against the possesive, sadistic, torturous and violent. The gap is briged by PJs amaaaaazing vocal performance, she succeds in making this song as psychologicaly complex and disarming as it is. I think that most men that comit abuses to their couples act this way... It's a perfect song. Never get tired of it. So black, so desperate, so true.

yeah good points, and they say many abusive relationships remain solely because of incredible desire/chemistry.

@sinkorswim they act in WHAT way? You commented about the vocal performance, and yes, it's a wonderful performance. By a woman. Singing in the voice of a woman (not portraying the "male side" of a relationship. Then you sprung a non-sequitur about how (abusive) men act in relationships. WTF are you trying to say?

You had a reply agreeing on what you said, so maybe it's me. But idk what either of you is on about.
