Sociopath Community

...lmao....the crazy that lurks behind the white picket fences.....lol

My favorite parts of the song:

[Verse 1]
She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks

The character in the story is presented as possibly deranged; when he kidnaps a woman, he believes that drowning her stops her from running away. He is in a relationship with a girl who wants to leave but she’s held down in the same house as him. He loves her so much that he resorts to violent outbursts and threats to try and keep her from leaving.

A breeze block is another phrase for a cinder block which is used to represent the house that they live in. Soggy clothes and cinder blocks weigh her down and hold her in place.

Cetirizine, your fever’s gripped me again

Cetirizine, the main ingredient in Zyrtec, is used in the treatment of allergies. His girl has an illness, a fever that inflicts her with a dark attitude. The girl is also like a fever herself, she sort of consumes him. Therefore the need for this ‘cetirizine’.
Never kisses, all you ever send are fullstops (la la la la)

The character is sending ‘romantic’ texts and expecting her to reciprocate. She replies instead with an ellipsis (…) suggesting that the texts he sent are creepy or disturbing.

Alternatively, she could be sending a period (.) at the end of her texts rather than kisses (x), showing her lack of affection towards him.

This may also refer to metaphorical messages. He kisses or tries to be romantic with her, but the girl doesn’t send any affectionate signs back.

Do you know where the wild things go
They go along to take your honey (la la la la)

Referencing the famous book/film Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Their drummer, Thom Green, said in an interview:

"Joe, our singer, is a huge fan of Where The Wild Things are and that definitely inspired ‘Breezeblocks’."

The Wild Things in this scenario may be wild, cool, dangerous kids that have attracted the protagonist’s girl away from him.
Break down, now weep, build up breakfast now
Let’s eat, my love, my love, love, love (la la la la)

After a rough patch or ‘break down’ in the relationship, the narrator is hoping that he and his lover can sleep it off and forget about their troubles in the morning, working out issues over breakfast. 

This line gains a double meaning in the context of the â€œWhere the Wild Things Are” reference. He may be metaphorically or literally be planning to cannibalize her to keep her from leaving when he says, “Let’s eat my love.”

[Hook]
Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
Likely in reference to his last-ditch efforts to hang onto his relationship, the narrator describes taking a leap of faith despite his paralyzing fear of rejection. It looks like he had some luck before things went south.

In a literal sense that furthers the theme of desperate violence. The narrator may be causing harm to himself and/or the woman (i.e. committing suicide by jumping and taking her with him) in a perverted Romeo and Juliet expression of love or dedication.

KIDS, by MGMT.   Analysis by Med.

“If I don’t tell you where it hurts, you can’t hurt me”. This is the story of a guy and girl who met at 18 at a Rainbow Gathering, a pop-up intentional community (commune) in a National forest. They met and camped in a tent.

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward him

Crawling on your knees toward him is a sexual reference.

As they are eighteen, the song vacillates between the present relationship and reflecting on childhood.
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

No time to think of consequences. An allusion to sex.

Control yourself    The guy is suggesting the girl not take the lead.
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

A family of tress wanting to be haunted. This is a great use of “collective noun” like a gaggle of geese or a pride of lions. It is also ironic since it really refers to the fact that, the girl, is perhaps more serious about the guy and is considering the relationship (the family).

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it

Take only what you need from it [me]; control yourself. This is the guy’s voice. Sex is sex. Perhaps she is more experienced.
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Memories fade like looking through a fogged mirror. Great visual analogy. There is some suspicion that the girl may have been pregnant. He believes he is being bought. Also, the girl drops the guy. And he is yet young, so he is sensitive to this sort of dump.

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

I Love this song. It brings women i have loved back for a few minutes.

Stirs my heart.

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks

“Heart shaped box” refers to a jail cell that appears to be her “heart” or sense of affection. She may not actually love him (hence his being in a heart-shaped box instead of a real heart) as much as she’s in love with the idea of being in love. He doesn't feel the same.
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

Magnets attract each other, while tar pits are known for trapping animals.

The relationship is very strong.
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

This phrase is peppered with very negative images, such as “cancer” and “black.” This is Kurt’s convoluted way of saying “I love you”, and that when you’re down he will do anything to make you feel better.
Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Kurt interrupts the relative calm of the verses with this violent chorus.

“That’s just me giving an example of how I’m perceived. People don’t realise that I’ll say something and it’ll be quoted in an article, then it’ll be taken out and used in another article in a different place, and then again, and then again. I’ll only have said it once but it looks like I’m complaining all the time.”

Orchids are known for their vaginal appearance. The venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that derives its name from Venus the Roman goddess of love because of its similar appearance to a vagina.

Meat (especially when placed next to the orchid) in this case could be a phallic image.

Thus, the women have trouble forgiving men.

Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath

Cutting is a common phenomena among teenagers and is generally an indicator of depression.

Angel's hair can be a religious reference, but juxtaposed to the image of cutting. Angel hair is also a term used to describe a hair like subtance found after supposed UFO sightings.

Baby's breath is a plant often worn in children’s hair at weddings. There is duality here. On one hand, he is terrified at the thought of marriage with this girl, and on the other hand he is terrified of the thought of possibly impregnating her.

Broken hymen of 'Your Highness', I'm left back

He considers her to be some kind of princess, and having taken her virginity, he feels guilty about it. Having sex have made her more clingy; she is in love with him and he’s going through the motions. He doesn’t want to hurt her feelings.
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

It would appear he has gotten her pregnant.

It is not my fave song just a song I never that never gets old. It is a sad song that makes me I guess think of gas lighting before I knew what the word meant. It talks about the fantasy when someone is in denial of the evidence because of wishful thinking. I guess it kinda shows a personal fear...

"Hello Fascination"
 

This one sounds better...
