You’ve got your
Hell’s teeth
smiling at you.
It keeps your brain safe,
as it all eats at your face…
Hell’s teeth is typically defined as an expression of surprise, anger or annoyance, akin to ‘for God’s sake’. Example: “Hell’s teeth! Don’t blaspheme!” Or something like that. I think MM is using this expression in a different way than that though. Since it keeps you safe yet eats away at your face, this is obviously something that people probably feel security from if they have it, even though it’s a misguided and not so genuine safety.
And don’t worry,
we’ll ‘blur it out’
and no one
ever will know
So the attack that this ‘Hell’s teeth’ is executing upon you will be blurred out so you don’t have to know about it. Blur it out so that you can remain in your sense of safety that you think these teeth give you. What exactly is Hell’s teeth? Is it a certain message from mass media?
This is my beautiful show
and everything is shot
in slo-motion
I really love the chorus. I think it’s so beautiful. But whose show is this? Is this MM’s beautiful show that’s shot in slow motion? Is it the people’s show who are so reliant on the smile of Hell’s teeth? And does it need to be in slowmotion? Why is it so?
Pump in the laughter
of dead-audience applause
and TEENAGE RAPE candidates
I think we got ourselves
a ‘real hit’
The audience of this show gives a dead applaud. Teenage rape candidates aren’t laughing either. So one must add it in so that it can become popular. It’s all fake. It’s all a show.
Don’t we wish
that we had something
more than hate
and morbid panic?
Morbid panic.
Hate and morbid panic?
So the show shows that there is so much hate and panic in this world and the need to add in the laughter is because we wish we had something more.
I’m the host with Vaseline
I hide behind bulletproof glass
and I can feel your tits
with my brand new camera
(equipped with a flash)
So there’s a host to this ridiculous show that needs laughter added to it. The host with the Vaseline? Well what exactly is he lubricating? Does he get off on deceiving people when he manipulates the genuine sounds of the crowd. He feels the need to hide behind bulletproof glass. Perhaps someone will be angry at him for his actions and he’s scared of reciprocation. Also, how does one feel someone’s tits with a camera? Perhaps this implies that he’s fine with interacting with people from behind a glass, behind a camera, and never actually being up close and real with people.
fast-food-nude
I hate you all
but somehow
you find me…
incredibly charming
So the host of the show hates all fast-food-nude. Perhaps “art” that’s pumped out with no real purpose? But then isn’t this entire line hypocrisy since his own show is fake and manipulative? But maybe that’s why they still find him incredibly charming.
Now let’s take apart the video and perhaps that will also clarify some of the meanings to this song.
The Bubble
First, in the video he starts off in a bubble. He takes it off and smoke begins to surround him. He’s also wearing surgeon’s glasses. Was he trying to keep his brain safe? Perhaps the glasses represent the voyeuristic nature of society?
The Syringe
Then there’s a shot of a syringe in his hand, then it’s in his teeth. Then random glow-in-the-dark liquids are flowing out of his mouth. Is this simply alluding to a drug addiction? Or is it something more? Why do we only see this syringe in the very beginning of the video? Perhaps Hell’s teeth is a mind-numbing drug – which can be something mind-numbing like TV.
The Small Girl
It cuts to a scene where two men are walking (MM and Twiggy); MM has linked arms with a girl that has her breasts exposed and she looks quite small and young. In every scene that includes her, they’re simply just walking. What’s the purpose? To show her off? I also want to point out that the men are completely clothed while the girl is exposed. The epitome of objectification?
Artificial Tit Man
This guy is everywhere in this video. Why does he pop up so often? Is he the essence of what entertainment is? A silicone mask?
The Group
Then he goes to show a group of people with the lines “This is my beautiful show” but there is something ugly about each person in some way, whether it’s on the outside or the inside. Nobody loves you. Rape. Imperfection. Dirtiness. Distortedness…Why would it be a beautiful show when these people would be considered ugly by society? Or perhaps all people are ugly and it’s the media that makes them seem so perfect.
Forced Guy
In another scene, of the group, a guy looks like he’s being forced to suck on an artificial tit. If Artificial Tit man is the embodiment of the fakeness of mass media, we are here to suck it up.
Morbid Panic
When he says “Don’t we wish we had something more than morbid panic?” That scene shows MM with a very panic-stricken face, and the girl behind him is holding onto him as if he’s supposed to be guiding her somewhere. It seems like she has a mask on but I can’t be exactly sure. But if MM is acting as the host to this show, perhaps he’s a leader of how people should think and people blindly follow and rely on him…but in reality he’s terrified and panic stricken himself. Maybe that’s why he’s compelled to add the humor in his shows.
The Welcome Room
Then MM is coming into some room with that masked man and the small girl. He kind of welcomes MM in. Do you think that he’s welcoming the host of this show to join him in the entertainment business? Perhaps he’s the guide, showing him how to objectify and make those teenage rape candidates famous.
Fast-Food-Nude
When he says “Fast-food-nude I hate you all yet somehow you find me incredibly charming,” he gives the middle finger. If MM is the host in this story, is he giving mass media the finger? And once again I ask, wouldn’t that be hypocrisy since his own show is filled with fake? Is everyone just as hypocritical and fake?
Shot
A lot of times in the shots where he’s just singing, he’ll point fingers to his head like a shot gun. This becomes an increasing trend as the video evolves. Then he ends up with a real gun in his hand at the end. At first he’s kind of walking around with it, unsure of what to do or perhaps he’s anxious or has anxiety. Then he aims at someone on a bike on the sidewalk and prepares to shoot. It’s like the idea came to his mind at the beginning, but grew with increasing intensity throughout his entertainment career. But who does he end up shooting in the end since the real gun wasn’t pointed to his own head?
So overall, I think this song is telling a story. Is it MM’s personal story about his role in the entertainment industry? I don’t really think he’s been very fake in his art. Long story short and imho, I think it’s simply a criticism of cinema nowadays. But there are still a lot of unanswered questions…
