I don't know what this song is about, but i assume it's about a man who is raped as a boy who grows up to do the same.

Black Francis

If im not mistaken this song is about 2 brothers that worked at a zoo and were in love with the same woman. Both lost their lives in a zoo accident and she was left with no one. I think it's told through the perspective of the woman's daughter. Some single moms can't catch a break.



"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~ "

i heard Jonathan had to record his part without his bandmates around cause it was too personal.

I can't help but to wonder why would he write that song. Why put himself through reliving such a terrible experience. I mean the subject isn't his girlfriend leaving him, this song is as personal as it gets.

Black Francis

Yet another pixies song that talks about incest. In this one Frank narrates the story of a troubled kid that got outta hand and even had an incestous relationship with his sister after he killed her

"He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead"

You have to take into account that most victims of child abuse keep it in secret and feel very ashamed about it when they shouldn't cause it wasn't their fault. If they don't find some sorta way to express that pain it could eat them up. I think he chose to record that song to express to other victims that they're not alone and im sure that through him sharing his story some of his listeners that went through that found the courage to break the silence just as he did.

Farewell

Bright Eyes - Amy In The White Coat

Deals with a father sexually abusing his daughter. He mentions that he used to do the same thing to her older sisters too, but she's (Amy) "his favorite one".



Immortal Technique - Dance With The Devil

Talks about a young man aspiring to join a gang and willing to do whatever it took to become initiated. In the end he had to rape and kill a woman whose head was covered by her own shirt only to find out after-the-fact that it was his own mother that he raped. He then commits suicide while the gang proceeded to kill his mother.

A song about a man that gets raped than goes on to rape others.

Tool - Prison Sex



I understand that. And I'm not faulting him for it. He can write about whatever experiences he wants. I'm just saying that I've had way less worse stuff happen to me that I never talk about with anyone. But that said, I'm not a rape victim. Especially not a rape victim of my own father. So I can't really comment on how someone who is would feel.

Here's the song.

Terrapin_Station

. . . or if you have the patience to listen to a much longer live version:

Chula Vista

A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes

A few minutes with me inside my van
Should be so beautiful if we can
I'm feeling something taking over me
