This song has so much meaning to me and my actual sister. My sister and I are best friends, and after I found out she was having sex I found myself in my room crying and writing down these lyrics for her after listening to them for the first time. She was 15, the same age I was when I started having sex, and it hurt me so bad to know she was making the same mistakes I had made. At that time, it seemed like the lyrics came directly from my heart.
She said what I was supposed to think
Thank God for freedom
Thank God for liberation
(She said) Now we are allowed to think
Now we are allowed to feel lust without cute boring love
(It seems like 15 was the age for both of us, that we decided we could do what we wanted, that we didn't have to follow the rules of our parents, but that we could listen to what the world was saying, and have sex without cute boring love. To me cute boring love, is just an innocent love that isn't about sex or anything else but love. The kind of love where you could just be with someone and just hold their hand and be content. The kind of love that used to be in movies, but now all the world shows is sex)
(The rest of this is what I felt I was saying to my sister when I wrote down these lyrics for her)
But don't you ever just like me
Long for purity
Don't you ever
Get sick of our territories
(I wish I could just be pure, and take back everything I had ever done.Do you really want to have sex, or if its just cause its what we are "supposed" to do, what our territories say that we should do. Especially after already having sex, its so easy to fall under these territories saying you have to do it)
What are you so scared of sister
What made you so afraid to feel
To chose a stone cold liberation
( Why did you choose sex over love? Why were you so afraid to wait, and really see if he did love you, or if he just wanted your body? Would you rather give yourself away then to feel regected)
The one thing I hate most about me
Is the one thing you want to make your trademark
To feel lust without cute boring love
(Having sex was a huge regret in my life, and you know that. It hurts so bad to watch you take my mistakes, and try them out for yourself. To have sex without being in love)
But don't you ever just like me
Long for purity
Don't you ever
Get sick of our territories
Don't you ever feel like glass
Fragile, hurting, letting it pass
Don't you think it's time to trespass
( Doesn't it hurt? To be so broken, to not feel loved, to give yourself away, and to brake even more every time, to be so fragile? Just stop, it's not too late)
But when the fire is gone
Who are you?
What are you so scared of sister?
I'm just as scared as you
(When he leaves, when there is no more passion, and no love behind it, how will you feel. Who will you be, are you going to become me? Why are you so scared to just stop? I am just as scared of you not...)
