Big Exit Lyrics

Cover art for Big Exit lyrics by PJ Harvey

Here's how I hear this song: I think yurigon is getting close. I hear it as being about how dangerous, fucked up, and sexist society is, and about injustice in general. The pistol/gun, on the surface, seems to refer to a weapon to protect oneself, but also represents the favored gender in the world ("gun" is a penis). "go to a different land" is talking specifically about wanting to go to a place where injustice doesn't exist.
