While watching this vid, I automatically thought of the Hunger Games trilogy. This makes me go buy the book to read it. After reading all three books, I go "HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THEY WROTE THIS SONG FOR THESE BOOKS!" Then I go, "THEY BETTER FUCKING USE IT FOR THE MOVIES, OR I KNOW THEY WILL SUCK!!"
@23brokendream Doesn't have to be fair.. It's nature. ;) The unfairness is productive, in that it produces more resilient ecosystems over long periods of time.
@123412341234het have you researched which bird flies faster? ya gotta catch it to kill it lol.. doves.. like the peace they represent are rather elusive!
the first time i heard this dong with bad quality stereos it sounded like she said " wanna make a bet ...lalalalala..taking of the clothes " i was like........O.o'.... 0:12
@cynica10 I think you're reading to much into this. I mean this is obviously just a song about sex. Thats bascially what drives the world. Man vs woman.. spider vs rat, tiger vs bat, owl vs dove. It looks to me like shes making a point about how love is unavoidable and public, whether you want it to be or not. It also comments on how love is a battle, and an entertaining one at that..
I imagine that line being sang with a smile, because the singer knows that no matter what you do, or how much money you have, or how successful you are, no one gets out of life alive.

For me, that phrase triggered an entire narrative that was about a gladiator-style enormo-dome where everything turns in on itself, with every form of aggression on display for spectators: monster trucks ramming into each other, bull fighting, sweaty men wrestling.

And then you have these animals completely disconnected from the logic of their natural habitat, so you have a swan pecking the shit out of an elephant and pigs biting the necks out of tigers, and bats attacking spiders. And then in the seats, the spectators are kicking the shit out of each other too. There’s this completely blurred line between spectator and participant, and we’re all trapped in this fucked up Noah’s Ark. The images came to me all at once, and I wrote the lyrics on the spot.”
