| Ingrid Michaelson – Masochist Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I interpret it as: she says, "you're a masochist...so roll up your sleeves." then it switches to first person for "And I think that I like her..." and the chorus. then it switches back to dialogue: "you say that my skin...isn't a hand just a hand?" Then "no you don't understand..." is in first person. and I don't think "medicinal tongue" is supposed to be literal. It's metaphorical, like her words soothe, heal like medicine does. And the speaker doesn't have to be a girl, which means this doesn't have to be a lesbian relationship (although it could be, and there's nothing wrong with that.) It's all about how someone feels inadequate or undeserving for another person's love, that's all. And I don't think the love is unrequited; she--not the speaker--says "so roll up your sleeves." That means they'll try to make it work, but it's going to be difficult. And when the speaker says that he/she likes her because she tells him/her things she doesn't want to hear, I interpret that as the speaker enjoying this challenge as he/she waits for love, or the softness on the inside. |
