Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sleigh Bells's song "Infinity Guitars" may seem nonsensical at first glance, but upon closer examination, they reveal a commentary on the music industry and its various components. The repeated phrases "Deaf chords, dead ends" and "Sling set can't meet their demands" may refer to the inability of musicians to make a substantial living on their music alone, as well as the struggle to break into mainstream success. The line "Dumb whores, best friends" could be interpreted as a critique of the objectification and exploitation of women in the industry, who are forced to play roles that require them to be sexualized and subservient.
