Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Roulette's spinning, the wheel of distinction, Darwin's selected you, for
Total extinction, I'm a slutty dirty little girl...beaten and scarred and
Ripped and mangled come for love and stayed for strangle, infectious, it's
All infected, the disease is liberated, lurking out of sight...we're going
To make it fit in real tight...a little closer said the spider to the fly




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chemlab's song "Jesus Christ Porno Star" present a disturbing but insightful commentary on the sexualization and exploitation of women in society. The opening lines, "Roulette's spinning, the wheel of distinction, Darwin's selected you, for total extinction" suggests that the singer sees women as being disposable objects that are constantly being subjected to a random and unfair selection process. This is particularly evident in the phrase "Darwin's selected you" which implies that women are being judged on their sexual appeal and ability to reproduce rather than on their intelligence or worth as individuals.


The following lines, "I'm a slutty dirty little girl...beaten and scarred and ripped and mangled come for love and stayed for strangle" indicate that the female narrator has internalized societal labels and norms that cast her in a negative light. She states that she is a "slutty dirty little girl," implying that she sees herself as deserving of the violence and abuse she has suffered. Moreover, the phrase "come for love and stayed for strangle" suggests that she believes that her sexuality and desirability are more important than her own well-being.


The chorus of the song, "Infectious, it's all infected, the disease is liberated, lurking out of sight...we're going to make it fit in real tight...a little closer said the spider to the fly" seems to point to the danger of objectification and the spread of harmful behaviors and attitudes. The singer suggests that the virus of hostility and misogyny is being allowed to spread unchecked, and that unless society becomes more aware of the dangers of these attitudes and actively works to change them, the cycle of abuse and exploitation will continue.
