Title: MX
you're so sweet
your smile, your pussy, and your bones
you're on fire
you move me
like music with your style
let me think
think about what?
about girls
and what else?
and money, and new clothes
and what do i get?
thirty nights
uh huh
of violence
yeah
and sugar to love
closer to the lung
shove her over railing
you're sweet
but im tired
of proving this love
see you're a bore
but you move me
like a movie
that you love
let me think
think about what?
about girls
and what else?
and money, and new clothes
and what do i get?
thirty nights
uh huh
of violence
yeah
and sugar to love
closer to the lung
shove her over railing
let me think
think about what?
about girls
and what else?
and money, and new clothes
and what do i get?
thirty nights
uh huh
of violence
yeah
and sugar to love
closer to the lung
closer to the lung
shove her over railing
I have to say that on the whole, I didn't think
Around the Fur was much to
write home about, but this track is its
saving grace. This song
creeps me out like no other. For starters, it alternates a really
heavy (and
simple and slightly
cliched, for that matter)
riff with some of the softest, most
melodic, and definitely most
melancholy singing
Chino has ever done. See all the spaced over phrases in the chorus? That's spoken by some girl, and the way its said sounds very much
in control. This is
incredibly creepy - go
listen to the song, you'll see what I mean. I have no idea what the intended
meaning of the song is, but
art is a
two-way street, and here's my own interpretation: the
first person is a
geek-type guy with a controlling
girlfriend who keeps him on a very
short leash. He hates the
relationship and wants to get out, any way possible, even
fantasizing about shoving her over a railing, but just can't work up the
balls to end it, and he just keeps fantasizing and building up
hate. Like I said, it creeps the hell out of me.
Apparently I'm CST Approved. Woot.
