The lyrics of Aphex Twin's song Tamphex can be interpreted in many ways, but one possible interpretation is that the song critiques the stigma and taboo surrounding menstruation in society. The repeated lines "Are you one of those girls for whom time stands still once a month?" and "Why stop when the period starts?" suggest that the singer is addressing women directly, asking them if they are affected by menstruation and encouraging them to continue with their lives despite it. The mention of Tampax, a brand of tampon, reinforces the theme of menstruation.
The lyrics may also be seen as a commentary on gender roles and expectations. The phrase "one of those girls" suggests that menstruation is a female-specific issue, and the repetition of the question implies that it is a common experience for women. The call to "not stop" when the period starts could be interpreted as a call to resist traditional gender expectations that women should limit their activities and interests when menstruating.
In summary, the lyrics of Tamphex suggest a critique of the silence and shame that surrounds menstruation, as well as the traditional gender roles that limit women's agency during this time.
