The sanest days are mad
I know what hands are for, and I'd like to help myself
What the f*** does Jack the Ripper have to do with It's Not Your Birthday Anymore?
It means even love-mad or sex-mad people would stop short of loving the girl described in the song.
"And I can see throught everyboy's clothes" might it be vulgar or sexual or just talk 'bout a man w/ x-ray eyes?
(I am obviously joking).
And what does it mean?It took me years to work out what "Reel Around The Fountain" meant.
And what does it mean?
And what does it mean?
My own personal intrpretation of "You Have killed me" is :-
A catchy tune, but lyrically....
Pretentious Utter Twaddle...Be Honest...most of us Mozzer fans didn't have a clue what he was blathering on about anyway...thank heavens for wikipedia etc...so now it all makes perfect sense......(?).
As we are all now very well aware, Pasolini's films were a shining light of hope in the Post-surreal quasi-existensialistic searing socio-Philosophical/metaphysical Mileu of Morrisseys early childhood....I just preferred watching "The Champions" as an 8 year old....not some black and white European pap ( with subtitles...) about older "Foreign" peoples inner angsts and turmoils...
Anyway, in my opinion, he should have had Stuart Damon as a record cover "star"...
I can see why you have chosen to interpret the song "You Have Killed Me" that way, but I have never thought about it like that. Perhaps it's just a little too easy to take homosexual interpretations - that's what I'm tending to think.
"I entered nothing,
And nothing entered me,
'Til you came with the key,
And you did your best but
As I live and breathe
You have killed me"
This song has always been totally sexless in my eyes/ears. It means that he felt senseless and dull, by saying that nothing "entered (him)" and he didn't "enter (anything)". Then 'a person' came along with "the key" that awoke him from that senseless state, and he felt that a door had been opened. But, alas, nothing really lasts for long in 'Morrisseyshire' and after they parted (I've always thought it was a break-up) he was "living and breathing" but "killed". "Gasping but somehow still alive", perhaps?
I'm sorry if my interpretation is hideously dull and off-target. I just feel that this interpretation fits well into the the theme of realisation and awakening in the rest of the album, particularly with "At Last I Am Born". Saying that, however, the gay theme fits very well with "Dear God Please Help Me"; it's hard to say.
I completely agree with your interpretation. Whilst there's definitely innuendo in "I entered nothing, and nothing entered me", I'd never really seen the song in a sexual light in terms of the narrative or the subject matter.
Well I seem to be the problematic one I guess I got this impression from what I've heard about Magnani and Visconti, as I have already written And now it is as solid as a rock in my consciousness uncurable
