Flesh
KMFDM vs. Pig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside this noise is a weak and godless soul.
Give me what I know.
Feel this ego.
There's a rusty halo on my head.
It must have been something that I said.
This is the dome of my betrayal.
This is the final broken nail.
Suck this soul.
I'm the thing that I can't control.
Press My Flesh!
These eyes are twitching like a cup of squirming flies.
When I'm on my knees you can do just what you please.
Inside this noise is a weak and godless soul.
There's a rusty halo on my head.
It must have been something that I said.
This is the dome of my betrayal.
This is the final broken nail.
Fill this hole, suck this soul.
I'm the thing that I can't control.
Press My Flesh!
The lyrics to KMFDM vs. Pig's song "Flesh" suggests a sense of desperation and desolation. The repeated phrase "Boom Boom Boom" could symbolize the singer's desire for violence or the sound of the singer's heart pounding in their chest. The line "Being Me Once More To The Breach" suggests a willingness to engage in battle again, despite past failures. However, the singer is also experiencing shame, as shown by the line "The Tarred And Bitter Bite Of Shame."
The singer then addresses someone directly, telling them to get down and shut up and learn. This can be interpreted as a power dynamic, with the singer asserting their authority and the other person being forced to submit. The line "Take This Pork On Your Fork" could be interpreted literally, as a reference to food, or figuratively, as a statement of dominance. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Flesh Fest Just Like You," suggests that the other person is similar to the singer in some way, perhaps in their desire for violence or power.
The second verse continues this theme of shame, with the line "Squeeze Into The Guilt That Holds Me." The singer may be acknowledging their own guilt and expressing a desire to be free from it. However, they also accuse the other person of selling them "twisted arms" and leading them through a "broken bridge." The chorus repeats, and the song ends with the lines "Suck This Thing You Don't Deserve / Mismanaged Miscreants Mistake / Misconduct Missed In Misery." These lines suggest that the other person has done something wrong and is facing consequences for their actions.
Overall, the lyrics to "Flesh" suggest a power dynamic and a desire for violence and dominance. The repeated use of the phrase "Boom Boom Boom" creates a sense of tension and urgency, while the references to shame and guilt indicate a more complex emotional landscape.

KMFDM kicks ass;) I adore at least 40 of their songs going back to the early 90's! How many bands can say they have a fan that loves at least 40 of their jams. Not a single one!!!
