Shaking Hell Lyrics

Hmm "Shake of your flesh" doesn't quite sound like to rape to me. I think the feminist skew to this one is to be a woman and to narrate the story trough the eyes of a sexually driven (typically male) serial killer. "I'll shake of your dress, I'll shake of your flesh" means rape and kill, or at least, undress and then kill. All with Kim telling the story as the protagonist. Scary indeed, but also turning the tables, taking over power, if you will. Women do have power, but also (non-feminists, libertarian point) women are also capable of violence.
