Cover art for Skin Receiver lyrics by Auf Der Maur

Hi guys. I'm from Poland so the English is not my natural language. To me it's very hard to get her metaphors, but I can see that her songs aren't so clear even to native speakers. Hmmm, I have no chance :-/

Speaking of Skin Reveiver: One night I had a dream. (In it) I was at her show and she was explaining it on the stage. I only remember the translation of the title to Polish in my head when I awoke, which I'd translate back as "Get a flesh".

Before that I thought Skin Receiver was that thing in human skin that transmits impulses from the skin surface to brain. That thing we can feel touch thanks to or thing that makes gooseflesh when we are cold or scared. You may laugh if you like.

The story about Melissa leaving for Hole makes sense: "She will get eaten up by all kind people" a large world audience - all kind people will eat the new Hole bassist with their eyes. "She's seen it before, she still wants more" - ok, so it's about performing, I get it.

Here's a statement from interview for UGO:

"My horse fantasies are combined with Motley Crue and hallucinogenics. It resulted in a song on the record called Skin Receiver."

So what do you think of that now?
