Sexual Revolution Lyrics

Cover art for Sexual Revolution lyrics by Macy Gray

This song speaks so well for itself, there's little poetry for re-interpretation. Personal meaning, maybe, but the message is pretty clear.

I like that the song is about sexual liberty, but it is presented in a playful and exploratory way, not some drunken-lust-fest. This is creative, loving and calculated debauch, not just random animal hedonism, or some attempt to "be cool" by making bold sexual statements.

The adventure of a self-proclaimed freak. She's different and she knows it. She also wants _everyone to know that they are freaks, too, in the sense that we all bring something unique to the world around us and we should never forget that! Rather, we should elevate and celebrate it, never hide it away from fear of traditions or taboos rapidly diminishing in relevance among human cultures. There's love in this song of life that is not spelled out, but still felt.

Of course, that's alot more thought than this song needs. It reminds us not to be ashamed of our individual expression of sexuality and not to be cowed by mainstream opinions.

Celebrate life and joy of being a sexually-reproducing critter on planet Earth. go Macy!
