I Am Kloot – Twist

• 0
  My Interpretation:It's quite literal; you don't need to look for metaphors here. It's written in the voice of a man who has just killed the love of his life after she ended the relationship. "There's blood on your legs, I love you" - blood from a stab wound maybe? "Twist, snap - I love you" - that's her neck broken, and it's all over for her. "Fall in this ocean with me" suggests he intends to do himself in after he's ended her life.
  Very, very dark. And possibly completely wrong, but that's how I hear it anyway.

  My Interpretation:Marriage, Sex, Love, Losing your virginity, Possibly drugs references and everything in between.
  
  The chorus is so horrifically, in a good way, about literally losing your virginity. Some of the rawest lyrics Ive ever heard.
  
  'devotion' through everything ('falling in the ocean') could be a marriage/relationship
  
  possibly a past marriage/relationship, thats now broken, hense the 'there was a time', but implication to me is its not like that now
  
  beautiful song nonetheless

  General Comment:Anyone heard the record of the John Peel Session? It's somehow different... The second stanza goes like this:
  
  that blonde blue eyed boy
  your leech (--- or?) your lover
  (just ?) one of these days
  he'll be one or the other
  (---) one of these things
  you didn't discover about
  me
  
  Can't find the lyrics, can a native English speaker in possesion of the song help me out with the gaps?

  General Comment:It could be interpreted in so many ways, that line - certainly the breaking of a hymen could be one. Or rape or other violence within the relationship. It might just be a period reference. (heh)
  
  This verse intrigues me:
  
  evoke the rich tapestry
  of love and devotion
  emote the sweet saccharine
  of all that devotion
  forget all about that
  and fall in this ocean with me
  with me
  
  twist, snap
  i love you
  
  It just makes me think of chemical dependance. Like perhaps he's hooked on drugs and he's pulling her in to be like him, then the blood on her legs is a symbol of this somehow?
  
  I sound crazy now, heh

  General Comment:Its the chorus that does it for me "there's blood on your legs.. I love you" also "twist, snap.. I love you" it's just so raw. Bit of an erie song, sung oh so elegantly.

  General Comment:Dysfunctional marriage? Bit extreme.. either up or down but no inbetween.. 'we fuck and we fight, someone else does the dishes' Or maybe it's just a really cynical outlook on marriage, like how at first everything seems so great because the couple are too blissfully naive & idealistic to realise nothing lasts for ever. *shrugs* I dunno. Good song anyway. Love the bleeding heart part.
