| Pixies – Something Against You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This has to be about really aggressive vindication. The line "I have something against you" could be a) I have been mistreated and I have a grudge against you now, b) I have evidence of your deceitful, miserable, etc. ways and I could blackmail and assault your public image or c) You have debased me and I want to debase you in revenge, maybe physically, which the line "I am one happy prick" suggests. | |

I don't think this song is necessisarily about sex. The indications that sex is the main theme of this song is strong, but I think it is mainly about love gone wrong but still miserably alive. The opening line, "Hey, been trying to meet you" is like a plea to reconcile with this person, even though it might be like trying to be with someone who has drastically changed, almost like meeting a new person. The whores aren't literally whores, they're more like ideas and preconceptions about love and relationships the speaker of the song has given into. Whores can be beautiful and alluring, but illogical and eventually devoid of truth, and they are the ideals the person in the song has clung to, and that person is realizing that it is damaging the realationship he is in. Despite how illogical and harmful it is to be together with this person, he still wants to cultivate his adamant view of love with his lover; they are chained because they are avoiding the cold truth about their love. The second part is more about the sexual part of their realationship; the "whores like a choir", their ideals keeping their futile love alive. The whole part about Mary might be a religious reference. The lovers in the song may view thier love as this immaculate and beautiful thing, like the way Jesus was made. But the baby is aborted, and their love is something that never will be complete nor immaculate, there isn't any use for it to be alive. So the lovers are held together forever, they still love each other even though they'll never be together again. |

I know this is a shallow explaination for the song, but it is simply about wanting to be with someone, to share love with someone, most likely someone they love. It kind of reminds me of the poem, "To His Coy Mistress", because he will have to say goodbye to his lover eventually, he will never have enough time to love her. In this case he is just enjoying the presence of the one lying beside him in bed, sort of escaping the reality of finality. The end of the song is about having to start a new life, probably without the joy of the other person beside them. Another interpretation could be a sort of self-realization kind of thing. It could be the speaker of the song is turning into a new person; the former self is ending the day and the new person wakes up with "morning eyes", a metaphor for a different perspective maybe? "What lies behind those eyes" line is a quest for introspection, soul searching (I hate that phrase), if you will. This new person doesn't want to remember the former self's name other wise, he wouldn't be able to say goodbye to the part of himself he is trying to cast away. The interpretation could go either way, but I like the song as a sensual poem. It's one of the sexiest songs I have ever heard and the line "' cause I want to find what lies behind those eyes" kills me. |
