Holdin' on to Black Metal Lyrics

Cover art for Holdin' on to Black Metal lyrics by My Morning Jacket

This is clearly about gay sex between a white teenager and a black man. The message is that you have to give this up - the black metal/cock - to grow up. It is not necessarily the case that once you go black you never come back.

My Interpretation

@walterw interesting opinion ... not sure how someone could even come to this conclusion, but I suppose our individual life experiences and sexual expeditions can lead us to draw different conclusions for said lyrics.
