My Acolyte Journey: 2014.28

Kiss and Not Tell.
La Roux. The lyrics to this are deceptive, like a pregnant woman wearing the shirt she used to love. I suppose its "lie" is that it pretends to be a song with words, but I can tell better. This is not a song, but a piece accompanied by cleverly arranged vocal sounds meant to approximate meaning. I mean--hahahahahahaha listen,

Ten thousand stories sent/Two lovers disguise/You've seen the future now:/A love that is blind.

Those aren't English sentences! Those are clauses strung together without any intervening meaning! Oh, good. I can give up on this song. It's clearly meaningless drivel pushed out by La Roux in a hasty effort to--hold the phone, what's this?

All along I /Feelings I can't/Feelings I can't help/All I want is/To come right out my/Come right out my shell

Wait, okay. It sounds like the lyricist is struggling to finish the words she's saying because they're difficult, but she keeps trying until she gets it. Now wait.

All along I've had feelings I can't help/Makes me want to kiss and not/And all I want is to come right out of my shell/Makes me want to kiss and not tell

Hold up. Is this about having intense feelings that society doesn't approve of, thus the author has to mask them, bite them back, cut down the young ideatrees where they grow and throw them on an increasingly self-made pyre!? Could it be that the author is struggling with intense desire for a sexual encounter (thus the "kiss) but does not feel like this action is an appropriate course (thus "not tell!?")?!??! Is La Roux homosexual?
Oh, wait a second. I remember now. Women aren't allowed to write about themselves because they're not capable of the skill required to maintain a public image. Clearly. Because there are no examples of that. This is probably just inconsequential noise.

Yeah. See? The music video has nothing to do with the content. I was right all along. That's why La Roux is selling sex to men and women indiscriminately. That's why when the sound of her voice hits them, rainbows pour from the receiver. Yeah. It's totally okay. Don't gay up my music, La Roux.
