| This song is about the closely-linked natures of sex and violence. As all members of the band are male, one would expect any comments made on sexual partners to be comments on females. The lines 'You make me so/Mysogynous/When I is us' imply that the violent desires brewing in the male lover are the fault of the female. The male lover seems caught in a mixture of an angel/demon dichotomic view of those he becomes 'us' with. I think it's too easy to only see this song through a feminist view as outlined above. In the first verse, the writer seems to view the whole World as an endangerment disguised within beauty - assholes in wonder. It is only within the encasement of another that he gains safety. It is also too easy to see this song as about the male getting sadomasochistic control over the female. The images of his 'blue eyes rolled over', his sweat, not being able to 'shout' or 'roll over' are those of a human being tortured. It's more about masochism than misogyny really. I Mother Earth would never sink to woman-hating. | |
