Mafu Cage
Dandi Wind Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

His penis was limp but then it got hard!

Drag his cock against the bars.

Bad Mafu Bad BAD MAFU.

Plead with hungry eyes.

Bad Mafu Bad - BAD MAFU.

But i'm not jealous, oh no

Bad Mafu Bad - BAD MAFU.

I will feed you the key.

Bad Mafu Bad - BAD MAFU.

Now i'm your keeper sisters gone.

Bad Mafu Bad - BAD MAFU.

You're nothign but a pet.

Bad Mafu Bad - BAD MAFU.

You're too tired to pace your cage.

Bad Mafu Bad - BAD MAFU.

Such a racket. Don't trust him.

Not at all - to your cell!.

Ah yes, wear him down.

Sit still in yolur cell.

His penis was limp but then it got hard!!

AND when it got hard.

It tore him apart. It tore me apart.

And gave me a start.

Oh how oh how you've changed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dandi Wind's "Mafu Cage" may seem shocking or crass to some listeners, but upon closer inspection, they reveal a complex exploration of power dynamics and submission. The opening line, "His penis was limp but then it got hard!" sets the tone for the rest of the song, delving into the murky waters of sexual desire and control. The line "Drag his cock against the bars" suggests a kind of sadomasochistic power play, with the singer in control of the imprisoned subject's sexual urges.

The repeated refrain of "Bad Mafu Bad - BAD MAFU" reinforces the idea of the singer as the one with power and control. The line "But I'm not jealous, oh no" implies that there may be jealousy or competition between the singer and "sister" (presumably another woman who may have been involved with the imprisoned subject). The line "I will feed you the key" suggests that the singer holds the key to the Mafu's release, but it is unclear whether they will actually follow through on this promise.

The song's final lines, "Oh how oh how you've changed," hint at some kind of transformation that has taken place, but it is left up to interpretation what exactly this means. Overall, "Mafu Cage" can be seen as a commentary on power dynamics and how they can play out in intimate, sexual relationships. Through its bold and provocative lyrics, the song forces listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about human behavior and the ways in which we relate to one another.
