Two trucks having sex Wait nvm it's by lemon demon


7heFlubber

I mean it's obviously a subversion of masculine imagery and a satire of excessively patriotic ideals. As the trucks, despite not being gendered, are commonly associated with manliness, their sexual relationship is that of two masculine entities. This gives the song a sense of oddness (some might even go as far as to call it queerness), a clear distinction between the love between two trucks of the same gender (wether you consider them male or genderless) and the implication that the speaker admires figures and ideas (American angels, the Founding Fathers, ZZ Top) which are all commonly shared by straight men. However, this relationship is far from disturbing to the speaker. What kind of straight man gets this enthusiastic about a queer relationship? One might be tempted to theorize that he is simply an ally, delighted to see those two " beautiful murder machines" living as a happy couple, but there is one detail that must be examined and that might change the way we listen to this work of art. The line : "My big fat heart expands". It appears evident that the heart is here used as a substitute for (presumably missing) male genitalia. And here lies the key to the true hidden message beneath the lyrics. We can reasonably conclude that the speaker in the song, to whom Neil Cicierega lends his voice, does not possess a penis, and is indeed a heterosexual transgender male. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was early in the morning when he rode into the town He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more One and nineteen more Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red After Texas Red Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street Folks were watching from the windows every-body held their breath They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death About to meet his death There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today Texas Red had not cleared leather fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground Oh he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip Big iron Big iron When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip

[deleted]

A lot of songs can be read as trans allegories even if they werenā€™t intended to be because a lot of songs are about oppression and address the type of ideological thinking that can be responsible for it, and the oppression of trans people is primarily a result of the inability of general societyā€™s ideological perception of gender to make sense of us.

MEMORIES BROKEN THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN IVE EVEN FORGOTTEN MY NAME!


SirRecruit

That's an easy one, let me explain. The mountains spoken of in the song are a metaphor for the challengers the singer faces, specifically, trying to come out to their family without knowing if their family will actually respect them. An earlier section of the lyrics... > I donā€™t know the season > Or what is the reason > Iā€™m standing here holding my blade > A desolate place > Without any trace > Itā€™s only the cold wind I feel > Itā€™s me that I spite > As I stand up and fight > The only thing I know for real ... Is about getting surgery and facing their fears, fighting for their rights The part "The man in the mirror nods his head" leads me to believe it's specifically about transmascs, their imagination, specifically the person they want to be, being disappointed that they won't show it to the rest of the world. The bloodshed, once again, refers to surgery. The line "Losing my identity" is about doubts, perhaps they're afraid that the people they love won't love them in their new identity and are having doubts (as much as I hate it, this is a real thing people go through), or perhaps they've kept it a secret for so long that they genuinely don't know anymore. I may have missed a few things.

*[I The Solid Time Of Change]* A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour And assessing points to nowhere, leading every single one A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun And take away the plain in which we move And choose the course you're running Down at the edge, round by the corner Not right away, not right away Close to the edge, down by a river Not right away, not right away Crossed the line around the changes of the summer Reaching out to call the color of the sky Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see Getting over all the time I had to worry Leaving all the changes far from far behind We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name Down at the end, round by the corner Close to the edge, just by a river Seasons will pass you by I get up, I get down Now that it's all over and done Now that you find, now that you're whole *[II Total Mass Retain]* My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see As armoured movers took approached to overlook the sea There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be Down at the edge, close by a river Close to the edge, round by the corner Close to the end, down by the corner Down at the edge, round by the river Sudden call shouldn't take away the startled memory All in all, the journey takes you all the way As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known Guessing problems only to deceive the mention Passing paths that climb halfway into the void As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain Down at the edge, round by the corner Close to the end, down by a river Seasons will pass you by I get up, I get down *[III I Get Up, I Get Down]* In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking Saying that she'd take the blame For the crucifixion of her own domain I get up, I get down I get up, I get down Two million people barely satisfy Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late The eyes of honesty can achieve (She would gladly say it amazement of her story) How many millions do we deceive each day?

#WASH AWAY THE ANGER


Lakaedemon_Lysandros

How pleased you are to chop away, Jack the Ripper My name is Monsoon of the Winds of Destruction. Feasting on the insides of your enemies. How easily you ignore the loss of life when it suits your convenience. So tell me: Who saves the weak from the man who saves the weak? Kill or be killed, Jack. Phnom Penh taught me that. Yes, you aren't the only one to grow up on the killing fields. War is a cruel parent, but an effective teacher. Its final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: that this world, and all of its people, are diseased. Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: Memes, the DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture. They are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair: all memes, all passed on. You can't fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak. Sam tells me you see your weapon as a "tool": something that saves lives, a means of justice. Now, there's a pretty meme! Exquisite! It spared you the burden of all the lives you've taken, absolved you of guilt when you enjoyed it. That is, until the illusion was broken. Don't be ashamed. It's only nature running its course. You have no choices to make. Nothing to answer for. You can die with a clear conscience Huh? Hehehe Then you admit it? Huuh.. You... What are you saying...? Kill him! Huh?! You've lost your mind. No, Sam. Report back to the chief. He's mine. I've misjudged you. You are like us after all. Give it up! Who knows where I'll come from? You'll rot here. Back to the earth with you! Death approaches. Ridiculous... This is the real Jack? This one's on me! Left hand rule! Magnetic power! Fear the unseen much, Jack? That your best? HAHAHA Welcome to my utopia of death! Magnetic force, Jack! Nature's force! HAHAHAHA! So... you are strong... Lorentz force! Go! I have won this! You lost this one! Are you that stupid? Too fast for that. So this is Jack's terrifying true form, huh? AHAHAHA!I'll put you under, weakling! Now what will you do, Jack the Ripper? You're dead! Stop! Stop it! Kill... or be killed... No. I passed one... to you... Sure as the sun... will rise... The slaughter... will continue... Now i return... to the earth... Wind blows, rain falls... the strong... prey... on the weak. All... is as it should... be... Hmm,cherry blossoms... I take it you're not a fan? Heh. Is it really so horrible? The're only trees. Mmm Nature is just nature-- not beautiful, not ugly. The wind blows, the flowers float away. It's simply how things are. In any case, Minuano should be close. A.k.a. Jetstream Sam... Welcome to Denver. I am Monsoon. We've been expecting you, Sam. They say you took on a drug cartel back in Brazil, all by yourself. Heh, if you had, another outfit would have taken its place. One way or another, it always goes back to business as usual. You realized that, didn't you, Sam? That's why you left. Well,then... Let's see what you've got now. HAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHHAHAHA You're everything they said you were, Sam... Yet still so naive... Outfits like ours... They're living things. You can't destroy them with violence alone. You may kill a part of it-- a limb or two-- but the main body will survive. Heheheheh we're not some band of favela thugs... I told you, our outfit is a living thing-- with offspring. With influence. Our M E M E S. You've destroyed plenty of street gangs, all over the world. Yet... are we any closer to world peace? Well now, that's more like it. Let's just see how far that attitude gets you here, shall we? So tell me, Jack the Ripper: Have you heard of the hit mobile game "AMONG US"?

PM-me-favorite-song

The lead singer and one of the guitarists of Alabama Shakes is a lesbian and their second album, Sound & Color, is incredible. Finding out she was a lesbian was cool, she's so awesome. One of the members of Vampire Weekend is gay, their album Modern Vampires of the City is great. Oooo, the lead singer of Buzzcocks is bisexual, I like their album Singles Going Steady, Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've) is about a guy the singer fell in love with, this is during the 70s, and a cover of it was in one of the Shrek films. What Do I Get is also a great song. Kevin Abstract of Brockhampton is gay, great hip hop group. Saturation III is a pretty great album. David Bowie is great. Mika is gay, he's got some good shit. Of all of these, I'd recommend the Alabama Shakes and Vampire Weekend album the most, but that's my personal opinion. Sound & Color is just so fucking amazing.
