The dual meaning in the lyrics "the capillaries in my eyes are bursting" (can be both from rubbing one's eyes from fatigue or from physical abuse) as well as "so that he never lifts a finger" (refers to both him not having to do the work, and him not physically abusing her).

I prefer watching women react to this song because like....Guys listen to the song and they're like "Oh so she's in a toxic relationship." Which yes. She is. But what they miss is the reason this an anthem is that this song is the shared experience of womanhood. This isn't the story of just one woman. This is our story and though not all of us have experienced all of it, we've all experienced some of it. Not all men are toxic but all women have a story.
@CyeOutsider7 ай бұрын
I didn't think it was about abuse, when I first heard it. I thought I was just about relationships generally and how women do the bulk of the unpaid domestic and emotional labour and how much men take it for granted. I'm 50, and this is a big part of the reason I will remain single by choice.

It shows the expectations society has on women and how no matter the year/century we are in, we are always expected to perform a role so tiring even against our choices in life. By all means a song that makes one reflect sooo much
@jasonspades12653 ай бұрын
She literally explains what the song is about. She read a book that inspired it. It's about escaping a relationship, and the island is allegorical to the trap in question. But yeah, I consider myself a feminist. But I don't consider extremists who. aggressively implies there is some epidemic of men harming women. There is a religious element to this. Religion is what promotes the treatment of women as second-class citizens. Because if men (and women) are secular humanists, it tends to mean they thought heavily about their morals and ethics.

Exactly. This is what hit me so hard when I first heard it and why it made me tear up. Looking back at my mother, my aunts, my grandmothers and recognising the generational trauma and what they were and are expected to put up with.
@haggisa2 ай бұрын
Exactly! It’s so funny to see men react to it and say “Oh, she’s telling a story about this specific woman, who x,y,z”, while women aren’t even done listening to the entirety of the song and immediately feel it in their bones, and feel a connection to each other and all the women, who came before them.

@Temujin12068 ай бұрын
@@michellesimmons3150 The biblical forbidden fruit is never identified, it's only ever described as פֶּ֫רִי, which is just the Hebrew word for "fruit". Pomegranates and apples are both possible among a wide range of others, in Islamic tradition it's usually associated with wheat or grapevines. Most likely whoever wrote the myth either didn't have a specific fruit in mind or envisioned it as a totally seperate fruit unlike any fruit still on Earth, the first time anyone really seemed to care about making it a specific fruit was when the association with it specifically being an apple came about in Western Europe, which was just a pun in Latin.

the vocal layering in this song is wonderful, then she adds the alliteration, syncopation etc and it becomes even richer and more interesting..... this sound would sound amazing no matter what they lyrics were about. the combination of lyrics and vocal choices just elevates it even more

i know this was a while ago but i wanted to point out… the background vocals on the second round of “all day every day” and so on sound very distinctly childlike and it adds so much meaning and power to that bit. just… the fact that it almost seems unavoidable as a future or that children are perfectly aware of this experience.

I just want to say thanks for your work back then and the freedom we got from it, as a feminist in her 40s. I feel like you did the second wave of rough work and we are now working on the details. In a way, I feel like the manosphere backlash is mostly because men are finally asked to to more labor.

As some have mentioned, the ambiguity of the some of the lyrics are just…chef’s kiss. I genuinely feel like she put a lot of thought and care into the lyrics she chose. And I just absolutely love the way the music flows with the lyrics and highlights certain moments of the lyrics so fluidly and effectively. I discovered her when her song “the fruits” started gaining traction, which is another excellent example of her work in my opinion, especially if you like the feminist themes of “labour.” She just seems incredibly skilled and talented and I cannot wait to hear more of her work going forward. Cacophony has been such a beautiful album.

I've never seen anyone point out the candle. She lights it up once she sits down, but his is never lighted up. The way I see it, she's giving him a deadline, while he has the mindset that she's always going to be there, that she's always gonna stay despite whatever he does or doesn't do. In the end, her candle is already melted away, and the fire is no longer there, and from the way he pauses when seeing her gone, it probably means he's surprised. He expected her to stay, like he expected her to do all those things for her.

Something I haven't seen a lot of is the pomegranate imagery. When she starts eating, it's a pomegranate, which is commonly assumed to the the fruit Adam and Eve ate to be ejected from the Garden of Eden. Christianity has LONG claimed that Eden's sin is the reason women deserve subservience. To choose that fruit as what she eats here is certainly intentional.

That chorus runs through my head all the time now. Sick of it. The patriarchy, not the song. Like a lot of people, I came from a VERY patriarchal family; just past being Amish. No, no, NO!!!! That was never going to be my life. Every time I tried to live as I was EXPECTED it ended very badly. No more. I'm finally free, and happy. My sister in law digs that "How sad you have no one to love you." ????? I have very close friends I've had for 30, 40 years history with them. A lot of people love me, actually. I'd 100% rather be single than married to.....THAT. I'm twice divorced. I do not consider them failures but learning experiences. This song struck home for me. Passionate Pagan that I am. Coincidently; I took my daughter and fled when the violence began. No. I have to fix this. SHE will not suffer my childhood. Yes, I got that it was sung....quietly. You can't raise your voice when men are around. I was punished for speaking, sneezing, coughing......SILENCE! Apparently every single man's right. ??????? I'm 65 year old woman. And I can sussinctly say....FUCK THAT! Thank you Beth.
