Softer Softest
Hole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I hope that you won't tell on me
And I'd give you anything
And I know that you won't tell on me
Pee-girl gets the belt
It old milk makes me mind
And all your milk is so sour, and I can only cry
And I can only cower, and I can only cry
I've got a blister from touching everything I see
The abyss opens up, it steals everything from me
Pee-girl gets the belt
The old milk makes me mind
Your milk is so sick, your milk has a dye
Your milk has so dick, your milk has a dye
Your milk has so dick
Burn the witch, the witch is dead
Burn the witch
Just bring me back her head
Pee-girl gets the belt
The old milk makes me mind
Your milk is so mean
Your milk turns to mine
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to mine
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cry
Your milk turns to cream
Your milk turns to cry
Your milk turns to cream
The lyrics to Hole's song Softer Softest are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. The song talks about an intense emotional relationship where the singer confides everything to their partner, hoping they won't divulge any information. Meanwhile, the singer is going through some kind of mental or physical torment, as seen in the line "I've got a blister from touching everything I see."
The mention of "Pee-girl gets the belt" is disturbing and adds a layer of intensity to the song, as well as the mention of "burn the witch," where the singer wants to bring back the head of the witch who is presumably the person causing their torment. The lyrics suggest that the singer has given all the power to this person, leaving them feeling helpless and exposed.
The mention of milk throughout the song is interesting and could be interpreted in a few different ways. Milk is often viewed as a symbol of nourishment and motherhood, but in this context, it's used to describe something that is sour, sick, and mean. It could represent the toxic nature of the relationship or the image of milk turning sour could symbolize something that was once good but has become rotten.
Overall, Softer Softest is a dark and intense song that effectively conveys the feeling of being trapped and powerless in a toxic relationship.
