Missokyst -> Songs and lyrics (3/3/2014 12:19:09 PM)
I was signed into my Pandora station this morning when an old Jefferson Airplane song hit the airwaves. It is called Triad, written by David Crosby and these are the lyrics: You want to know how it will be Me and her or you and me You both sit there with your long hair flowing Your eyes alive, your minds are still growing Saying to me what can we do now that we Both love you -- I love you too But I don't really see, why can't we go on as three You are afraid, embarrased too, no one has ever in your sweet short life child Said such a thing to you Your mother's ghost stands at you shoulder Got a face like ice -- just a little colder Saying you can not do that it breaks all the rules You learned in school But I don't really see, why can't we go on as mmm three You know we love each other it's plain to see There's just one answer comes to me Sister lovers -- some of you must know about water brothers And in time maybe others So you see what we can do Is to try something new - that is if you're crazy too But I don't really see, why can't we go on as threethree Funny how I never noticed songs with a different spin on it when I was young. I heard that song as a youth and just loved her voice and the rhythm and part of me was drawn to the hypnotic quality to her voice. But I never heard the Poly theme until today. Another song caught my attention recently, Hallelujah, by Jeff Buckley. This stanza in particular caught my ear: Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... Now that you are older with some experience under your belt do you catch yourselves surprised by the lyrics from songs you may hum along with not really paying attention to the detail? What are some songs that took your breath away when you found their meaning?

I've had such a knack for memorizing and hearing lyrics- so there are few songs I didn't "get" at first. Hallelujah has long long been a favorite, but I got the imagery right away (and is also originally by Leonard Cohen). Not necessarily about kink, but every time I hear it I'm still surprised by how risque I find "Damn I wish I was your lover" by Sophie B. Hawkins to be.

Shifty Lol. You made me think of something I haven't thought of in a long time. Back when my first born was around 2, I was still just listening to the radio or CDs in the car. Until one day, in his stroller, in a VERY quiet store, he starts singing " Dan...I wish I was your lover " I bought a Raffi CD the same day.

Hell....I remember it took me until I was 24 or 25 before I actually paid attention to and understood "Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones....LOL

FR Brian Jones on the marimba! I remember being entranced by the marimba notes before I had a clue to what the words were saying. Later, when I did understand the words I knew I was supposed to be pissed but I really wasn't. I was to enthralled with the idea of being a Siamese pet of a girl. I was first exposed to Under My Thumb by mother, she use to play it a lot when I was a kid. She also use to blast me out of the bed on school mornings with Get Off of My Cloud. I think I was a little shocked when I learned Turning Japanese by The Vapors was about masturbation. I'm not sure when I clued in that Dancing by Myself ( Billy Idol) was about the same topic. But I knew right off the bat what I Touch Myself (The DiVinyls) was about.

DaddySatyr -> RE: Songs and lyrics (3/3/2014 10:20:58 PM)
I'd have to go with: "Evil Fantasies" (I was 15, the first time I heard it). I found one with the lyrics underneath.

Missokyst -> RE: Songs and lyrics (3/4/2014 9:02:17 AM)
That is a surprise to me. In the first song I assumed that it was just some kid obsessed with his gf. Then I read about the cell and the no sex no drugs no wine no women.. lol I mean what else is there to do to kill a bit of time except masturbate? The Billy Idol song was easier for me. He always gave me the impression he was a bit self involved. quote: ORIGINAL: Winterapple I think I was a little shocked when I learned Turning Japanese by The Vapors was about masturbation. I've got your picture of me and you You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"I sit there staring and there's nothing else to doOh it's in color Your hair is brown Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds I often kiss you when there's no one else aroundI've got your picture, I've got your picture I'd like a million of you all round my cellI want a doctor to take your picture So I can look at you from inside as well You've got me turning up and turning down And turning in and turning 'round I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so "."I've got your picture, I've got your picture I'd like a million of them all round my cellI want the doctor to take a picture So I can look at you from inside as well You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning 'roundI'm turning JapaneseI think I'm turning Japanese I really think so "".""No sex, no drugs, no wine, no womenNo fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark Everyone around me is a total stranger Everyone avoids me like a cyclone rangerThat's why I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so quote: ORIGINAL: Winterapple I'm not sure when I clued in that Dancing by Myself ( Billy Idol) was about the same topic. But I knew right off the bat what I Touch Myself (The DiVinyls) was about. "Dancing With Myself" On the floor of TokyoOr down in London town to go, goWith the record selectionAnd the mirror's reflectionI'm dancing with myselfWhen there's no-one else in sightIn the crowded lonely nightWell I wait so longFor my love vibrationAnd I'm dancing with myselfOh dancing with myselfOh dancing with myselfWell there's nothing to loseAnd there's nothing to proveI'll be dancing with myselfIf I looked all over the worldAnd there's every type of girlBut your empty eyesSeem to pass me byLeave me dancing with myselfSo let's sink another drink'Cause it'll give me time to thinkIf I had the chanceI'd ask the world to danceAnd I'll be dancing with myselfOh dancing with myselfOh dancing with myselfWell there's nothing to loseAnd there's nothing to proveI'll be dancing with myselfIf I looked all over the worldAnd there's every type of girlBut your empty eyesSeem to pass me byLeave me dancing with myselfSo let's sink another drink'Cause it'll give me time to thinkIf I had the chanceI'd ask the world to danceAnd I'll be dancing with myselfOh dancing with myselfOh dancing with myselfIf I had the chanceI'd ask the world to danceIf I had the chanceI'd ask the world to danceIf I had the chanceI'd ask the world to dance

Rough sex might have caught my eye, but Judas Priest was a bit more hard core rock than I was listening to at the time. This song passed me by in my younger years although if I had read the lyrics I might have added it to my life of "go to" songs when I was feeling reckless. quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I'd have to go with: "Evil Fantasies" (I was 15, the first time I heard it). I found one with the lyrics underneath. We turn and face each other My fingers pull your hair You wince and jerk my wrist off I bite my lip and stare Your stance at once defiant I'm rigid to your pose You clench your teeth in anger My loving swells and grows You give me evil fantasies I wanna get inside your mind Come on and live my fantasies I'll show you evil you can't hide You're dragged into my vision Trapped, subservient to my needs Maybe imagination Is where my dark side feeds You slide your nails down in me I raise my structure high You pout, I snarl, you whimper And wave compassion 'bye (ohhh) You give me evil fantasies I wanna get inside your mind Come on and live my fantasies I'll show you evil you can't hide A, give me evil Gonna take you, wanna get through Gonna make you, do what I want You're dragged into my vision Trapped, subservient to my needs Maybe imagination Is where my dark side feeds [fading refrain:] C'mon, evil. Yeah! You give me evil, evil fantasies. C'mon! You evil. Yeah! Gimme, gimme, gimme fantasies. I want it, you got it, those evil fantasies. Oh, you need it! I'm gonna give it! Give it, give it, give it fantasy-ohhh! C'mon and get it, get it! Fantasies...

But of course....if you want to talk about masturbation....how can you not mention "She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper? I always loved the video with everyone walking around in dark glasses and white canes like they were blind. LOL
