what's bitter about looking good in ribbons?
Along with "flowers on the razor wire" that phrase could be taken to mean "she looks good while she's self harming" (cutting herself to ribbons is a comman phrase).
I think "I was wrong" is looking at a break up where his love has left him for another man, but with some bitter humour "I can love my fellow man, but I'm damned if I'll love yours". Again, taking a comman phrase and making it a whole lot more sinister.
Something fast is packed to the brim with the sleazy end of sex and drugs. A red light implies a prositution district and I think its fair to say that a certain chemical could be descibed as "fast".
Eldritch once said that, although its quite a dark album, its actually rather funny. I think Vision thing should be listened too while smiling out of the corner of your mouth.
Sisters lyrics can be a pain to disypher, but don't get so het up This forum shouldn't teach you to feel guilty. I fond that most sisters fans (and dirty goffiks) tend to be quite bright, and most bright people tend to be opinionated, and will voice said opinions. Don't let that perturb you. State what you think, and don't be afraid to enter into discussion!
Know where the line is between how a song makes you feel and what a song is actually about. Those of us that like Vision thing will tell you that it
rawks, and them that don't will probably tell you to bugger off and listen to some Motorhead. But nobody will try and tell you that something fast is about mushroom picking. Do you see where I'm coming from?
Nationalise the f**king lot.
made Vision Thing an album in which nothing is what it seems. And that actually liking any of them would ridicule me because I don't understand what the real meaning of the song is.
