  • @Theseventhknight You'll have to be more specific. I don't understand what you are disagreeing with.

    MY point is that (imo) the phrase "I really want to be in your body" etc. does not refer to a desire to be physically having sex with them; I think it is that aspect of the relationship which IS the sickness: that it's crude and lustful but not loving.

    Rather, the phrase refers to a strange sort of self-loathing (empathetic) de-toxification of both. Sorry for the wordiness.

  • @bookoflists well I think we disagree then--you think it's "obviously too literal", whereas I think it's perfectly acceptably literal.

    Or maybe it's a synecdoche. It's literal while still representing the entire relationship.

  • @Theseventhknight

    I understood him to mean that the lyric "I really want to be in your body, to be inside you" was not referring to a desire for sex (obviously too literal); whereas I think the song IS about relationships, love, and sexuality.

  • this guy changed my perspective on music. its all about personal style and this man exudes it. just had express my thoughts logically even though i am not a logical thinker

  • @wearefinallysuper check out Goodwill or thrift stores and stuff. If you haven't already. Which you probbaly have if you have been looking for 5 years.

    That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

    On a personal level you should go fuck a rake
